Lismore Employment Lands October Update
You may have noticed the new roundabout that is currently under construction on the intersection of Oliver Avenue and Holland Street. This roundabout will form part of a very important project for Lismore’s future, the Lismore Employment Lands Project.
The Lismore Employment Lands Project will provide access to new industrial land for businesses by constructing key pieces of infrastructure. Opening more employment land means more jobs for the community and a stronger economy moving forward.
The project scope includes the following key elements:
- Construction of the ‘Oliver Avenue link’, including a new bridge over Tucki Tucki Creek.
- New roundabout at the Oliver Avenue/Holland Street/Taylor Avenue intersection.
- Modifications/upgrades to the existing roundabout at Bruxner Highway/Holland Street to facilitate B-double movements.
- Construction of a new public carpark at Hepburn Park.
- Filling of Council-owned land at 260 Oliver Ave to facilitate additional industrial lots.
This project is progressing well with works occurring on multiple fronts. These include the Hepburn Park car park, Oliver Avenue/ Holland Street roundabout and the Oliver Avenue link road (including the bridge).
The project is funded by both the State and Federal Governments and is anticipated to be completed by early February 2023.
