Council is offering a free waste drop-off service exclusively for residents of the Lismore Local Government Area to assist with the clean-up following the impacts of Tropical Cyclone Alfred. Residents can dispose of general waste from flood-affected properties as well as green waste resulting from storm damage at no cost. This service is expected to remain available until Sunday, 23 March 2025.

This work took place under the CBD Footpaths Replacement Project, which aimed to further revitalise the Lismore CBD, benefiting the local economy and community.
Funding for the project had been secured prior to the 2022 natural disaster. The objective of the LCRI Program was to stimulate additional infrastructure construction activity in local communities across Australia, to assist communities to manage the economic impacts of COVID-19.
Infrastructure works underneath the footpath were improved as part of this project and included (but were not limited to):
communications upgrade comprising of provisions installed for future CCTV and SmartCity initiatives.
