Urban Drain Cleaning

• Project Status: Underway

Following the February 2022 natural disaster, the Lismore drain network suffered extensive damage. The community assisted with petitioning for funding which was secured in mid-2024 to remove silt from open drains in the central Lismore area.

A Lismore-based earthworks contractor was selected to manage the work one road section at a time. Works commence in South Lismore starting with Casino Street, Kyogle Street, Caniaba Street, Phillis Street and Engine Street.

The project completed excavation works in several streets including Barnes Avenue, Bright Street, Caldwell Avenue, Cathcart Street, Caniaba Street, Casino Street, College Street, Cromer Street, Crown Street, Diadem Street, Edwards Street, Elliott Road, Engine Street, Esmonde Street, Garrard Street, Kyogle Street, Magellan Street, Maloney Street, Military Road, Nielson Street, Sunshine Place, 262 Three Chain Road and Walker Street (East Lismore).
