    The Food Pantry at GSAC has now moved to the Distribution Centre at the Lismore Showgrounds.


    Community members in need of food can pick up what they need from the Distribution Centre at the Showgrounds. Please enter from the Eastern side.


    Council would once again like to thank everyone who donated to the Food Pantry. And also the many volunteers who gave up their time over the last couple of weeks. You all deserve a good rest.

    The Emergency Operational Centre has agreed to consolidate the GSAC Evacuation Centre into the larger Southern Cross University Evacuation Centre from today.
    Council set up the GSAC Evacuation Centre as a temporary ‘overflow’ centre for our flood-affected community.
    The SCU facility, operated by the NSW Department of Community and Justice, is better resourced than GSAC. It will also give evacuees easier access to the nearby Disaster Recovery Centre at SCU to help in their recovery.
    The Food Pantry at GSAC will remain open for the time being.
    Council would like to thank the many hundreds of volunteers and those who donated to the GSAC Evacuation Centre. We could not have operated it without your generous support.
    GSAC will not be returning to normal operations as it will continued to be used to assist in the recovery of Lismore and our community.
    We will keep you updated on the role of the facility once it is determined.

    Some of the items delivered were Powerade to hydrate the community along with reusable drink bottles.

    Titan’s clothing merchandise was also handed out to help those in need of clothing, many footballs were pumped up and handed out, plus plenty of other merchandise to help lift our community spirit.

    A big thank you to the Gold Coast Titans for travelling to our community to deliver goods and lend a much needed helping hand.

    Earlier today at The Stockpot Kitchen in the Lismore CBD, Lismore City Council in coordination with The Stockpot Kitchen provided food and water to members of the community who were cleaning up.

    Council has received donations of food and water from many local farmers, community organisations, private business, charities and many more that has allowed us to distribute food to help people who are cleaning up their properties.

    Volunteers from the GSAC Evacuation Centre and the Stockpot Kitchen handed out pre-packaged food, sausages, sandwiches, snacks, and bottled water to many hungry and exhausted workers.

    Council wishes to thank everyone who has donated food so far and everyone who has volunteered.
