Magellan Street Pump Station – In Progress

In response to the 2022 natural disaster, Magellan Street Pump Station has been approved for a significant upgrade and modernisation, which will replace the tractor-driven pump that has long served the community with two new electric pumps.

Funding Made possible under Flood Risk Management Infrastructure funding through the Northern Rivers Recovery and Resilience Program (NRRRP)
Status In progress
Timeframe Estimated start June 2025
Disaster AGRN1012

Connecting to Lismore City Council’s new fibre optic network, these remotely operated pumps will provide greater evacuation of water from the CBD during flooding events, as well as safeguard human life, by removing the need to manually operate the pump.
