CLEAN UP SCHEDULE, 3.50pm Monday, 14 March

Public Works Advisory continues to coordinate the Clean Up of flood waste from flood affected areas of Northern Rivers NSW, including the Lismore LGA.

So far the Clean Up has prioritised the Lismore CBD and main roads in/out of Lismore (including North, East and South Lismore).

Clean Up has also begun in our neighbouring LGAs as flood waters receded.

For our LGA, the Clean Up is now moving beyond the main streets in the CBD, North Lismore, East Lismore and South Lismore.

The Clean Up will then move into rural areas as crews become available. Plans are currently being developed for how the rural Clean Up will be staged, and you will be kept updated once plans are finalised.

The entire Clean Up of Lismore and its villages is a phased approach, which means Clean Up crews will return again after the initial waste removal.

To assist with this huge task, we ask businesses and property owners who still have flood waste material that needs to be disposed of from upper levels of their buildings to contact Council on 6625 0500.

This will allow us to create a register so that waste removal and collection can be prioritised as subsequent rounds of clean up take place.

We thank the community for their patience during this massive Clean Up effort.
