  Roads across our entire local government area have had significant damage. Our crews are working hard to ensure our roads are safe, however, it will take time and we ask for the community’s patience.

  
  

  The following is a snapshot of some of the most significant damage to our roads. We will keep the community updated on other road works we are undertaking.

  Please always drive to conditions and follow all instructions. Roads are closed because they pose a serious danger to motorists and to reduce the risk of further damage.

  
  

  Tuntable Falls Road – 2 x landslips cleared 3km from Gungas Road. Road has been cleared however works will be ongoing under traffic control (OPEN)

  Terania Creek Road – Landslip approx. 8km from The Channon shop. An initial inspection has been carried out however will require further geotechnical investigation to determine the permanent solution (Local residents only – no heavy vehicles allowed)

  Lismore City Council has been working with REX to resume passenger flights to and from Lismore Regional Airport.

  This is to ensure Lismore is connected during this difficult time.

  Rex flights will resume on Friday, 11 March with flight ZL6318 departing Sydney at 7.25am via Grafton and arriving in Lismore at 9.40am. It will return direct to Sydney departing at 10am.

  The airport is also being used by Government officials, emergency services, volunteers, and those with expertise to assist with the recover and rebuild.

  Due to the extensive flood damage, the airport terminal is non-operational, however a temporary passenger area has been established.

  REX currently flies to and from Lismore to Sydney on a Monday, Wednesday and Friday, however more flights can be scheduled if community demand increases.

  Council would like to congratulate REX for its willingness to reinstate flights so quickly following the flood and their support for Lismore and the Northern Rivers Region.

  Flights can be booked at www.rex.com.au.
