Built in the 1970s and tasked with pumping stormwater from the low-lying Lismore basin into Wilsons River, the facility is set for a key upgrade which will include replacement of existing pumps, capacity upgrades and provision for additional pumps.
In addition, the station will receive an electrical upgrade and connection to a new fibre optic network allowing for the remote monitoring, operation and surveillance of Lismore’s flood infrastructure.
Combined, these enhancements will improve catchment response to local rainfall when river levels rise.
Location: 7 Molesworth Street, Lismore
