Back Lismore

Our community including our businesses have highlighted an urgent need to start changing the Lismore narrative from ‘flood city’ to ‘open’, both now and in the short term. Over the coming weeks, we will be launching a new campaign to address this, called Back Lismore.

Back Lismore is a call to action and a story telling platform designed to not only get people excited about our region again, but to also get them out and about supporting local people, businesses, activities, attractions, and events.

While not everything, and everyone, is back where they want to be, Lismore is really starting to thrive again. By celebrating how far we’ve come together, we hope to reignite pride and confidence in our region. As the two hearts of the Back Lismore logo show - we are stronger together.

The campaign is designed to be flexible and accessible, allowing everyone across our community to apply the creative tools and collateral to share their stories and to show how they Back Lismore. Over the next two weeks, we will be sharing further information and a creative toolkit with local organisations, businesses, schools and universities, artistic spaces and community leaders across the Lismore region.

This campaign aims to inspire all of us who visit, live, work, and play in the region to get out and enjoy all the amazing things Lismore has to offer. You can follow our stories at @BackLismore on Instagram and Facebook.

The Back Lismore initiative was a recovery campaign that finished in late 2023.
