Lismore City Council has made some changes to how building certification is delivered, with these services now provided by accredited private certifiers. Council will continue to handle Building Information Certificates and external plumbing inspections. Read more on these changes here.
The Lismore Return and Earn bulk site will be closed from 17–22 November for the installation of an additional new processing machine. During this time, you can return containers at the Return and Earn machines at Southern Cross University or Goonellabah Woolworths.
Lismore City Council and the NSW Reconstruction Authority have now opened an Expression of Interest (EOI) to the urban designing and ancillary specialists industry.
The EOI process seeks to find a multi-disciplinary consultant team to collaborate on the four precinct plans that will be prepared to determine the best future use of the vacant buyback land around Lismore.
The consultancy team should demonstrate expertise in a wide range of specialist disciplines as they will be expected to integrate these to inform future land use planning for flood-affected areas.
The EOI is open to consultants across the country and consultants will be scored on a range of criteria including their local content, knowledge and experience.
The EOI represents stage one of a two-stage procurement process and is open until 3pm on 29 October 2025. More information can be found on BuyNSW.
All queries are to be sent via the BuyNSW project page.
