Flood Restoration Portfolio

Following the devastating 2022 floods, Lismore City Council established the Flood Restoration Portfolio (FRP) — a dedicated initiative to restore and strengthen our infrastructure, environment, and community facilities. The primary goal of the Portfolio is to rebuild essential services and enhance resilience against future disasters. Our work includes repairing roads, bridges, and waste facilities; rebuilding community centres; upgrading water and wastewater systems; and implementing effective flood mitigation measures like improved levee systems and drainage infrastructure. Sustainable practices are central to our efforts, reflecting a strong commitment to environmental stewardship.

At the heart of the Flood Restoration Portfolio is a social contract with the people of Lismore, emphasising transparency, accountability, and responsible management. We have partnered with State and Commonwealth governments to establish innovative and effective funding agreements that address the scale of Lismore’s needs. Strong governance structures oversee all programs and projects, with an enhancing focus on community engagement and ensuring that every action aligns with our community's best interests. By integrating local input, investing in workforce development, and utilising proven technology, the Flood Restoration Portfolio not only addresses the immediate needs arising from the floods but also lays a solid foundation for a stronger, more resilient Lismore. Together, we are rebuilding with pride and confidence in our shared future.
