    ***Update Thursday 1 September, 2022***

    South Skyline Road closure will be extended until Wednesday 7/9/2022 next week due to difficult drilling conditions. We are aiming to have the rig off the road, and the road opened up over the weekend.***



    Following the February 28 and March 2022 events, Skyline Road has suffered damage due to a landslip, adjacent to 353 Skyline Road. Funding has now been secured to complete remediation works.

    To undertake remediation, geotechnical drilling under engineer supervision is required. Instruments to monitor further ground movement and water table will be installed for monitoring, to assist designers and determine the scope of works.

    Drilling is expected to commence this week. Motorists will be advised via roadside signage. A track is available each way allowing access past the slip. Please use caution and drive carefully.

    Further updates, including commencement of construction for remediation at a later date will be shared via the News Feed tab of this page.

    Additionally, to receive updates directly please contact Lismore City Council via email council@lismore.nsw.gov.au or call (02) 6625 0500 to register your details and feedback. Please reference ‘Skyline Road Landslip’ in your correspondence.

    We are continuing to update the community on the extensive repair work Council is undertaking across our road network and any updates on our planned projects.


    Among many other roads, our crews are working on two projects at the Clyde Campbell Carpark.


    Construction of the Clyde Campbell Solar Carpark and EV Charging Station officially commenced in early July. Electrical work for the 75kW DC fast Electric Vehicle (EV) charger, capable of charging two cars at one, has been installed.


    Today crews resurfaced the area of the Solar Carpark with asphalt and prepared the landscaping sections.


    The next phase of this project will be constructing a 100kW solar array, which doubles as a shade structure – Engineered to withstand floods.


    At the same time today, the carpark was repaired in sections from damage due to the 28 February natural disaster. Crews prepared the surface of the carpark and resurfaced it with asphalt.


    We will keep our community up to date on the solar project and repair work of the carpark.
