Over the past 12 months, The Back Alley Gallery, in partnership with Summerland Bank and The Hotel Metropole, has been developing and facilitating a large-scale mural in honour of the heroic efforts of the Tinnie Army during the 2022 natural disaster.
The project was sparked by Dr. Bridie Cullinane, founder of the Green Innovation Awards, and the group engaged extensively with community members to co-create the mural. In early August, invited community members will attend a special opening event of the 49metre long mural on Larkin Lane, just off Keen Street.
Congratulations to all on this meaningful commemoration to celebrate the courageous efforts of our community. It has been wonderful watching the progress of this mural come to life and it is a beautiful addition to our city.
This project has been sponsored by Summerland Bank, with support through Lismore City Council’s Business Activation Microgrant.
Construction has begun on an accessible toilet and change facility at the Lismore Transit Centre as part of Lismore City Council’s commitment to improving the accessibility of facilities.
Lismore Mayor said Council is dedicated to providing quality facilities for the community and in particular for the estimated 3000 locals living with a disability.
“In Lismore, 7.1% of our population require assistance with daily activities due to disability,” he said.
“This equates to potentially 3000 individuals in our community who will now have access to an appropriate, accessible public change facility in the CBD.”
Council secured $244,725 from the NSW Government’s Stronger Country Communities Fund for the Lismore Transit Centre Changing Places Facility upgrade.
“By incorporating a changing place in the CBD, we can better meet the needs of all community members, enabling people with disabilities and their carers to spend more time in town, enjoying dining, shopping, accessing services and socialising,” Mayor Krieg said.
“The Transit Centre is an ideal location for an accessible toilet, benefiting those using bus services in and around Lismore, as well as regional travellers.”
Council's dedication to providing supportive infrastructure ensures that Lismore remains a desirable place to live, an easy place to work and a welcoming place to visit.
