Major project delays

Prior to floods Council was in the middle of a $66M capital works program.

These works are predominately funded by State or Federal Grant programs or stimulus funding from previous disasters or COVID. Council has been liaising with the relevant grant funding bodies and reviewing these projects to revise delivery timeframes resulting from flood impacts. No major projects have been cancelled, so work will continue to deliver major projects including: • Lismore Employment Lands (Oliver Ave link) • Oakes and Crozier Oval upgrades • Nimbin Rainbow Road Walking Track • Northern Rivers Rail Trail • Lismore Regional Airport upgrades • CBD footpath replacement Road, bridge, water and sewer projects that were disrupted are now being completed, and delayed works will be re-scheduled.
