A revitalised floodplain that includes cultural land management, recreational trails, gardens and markets; commercial flood resilient retrofits in the Lismore CBD; new urban villages created above the floodplain; and a naturalised Brown’s Creek forming the spine of a new greenway connecting the CBD and urban villages.
These are just some of the innovative scenarios that we are sharing as part of Look Ahead: Ideas for a future Lismore exhibition in their Lismore shopfront, and online.
These exciting scenarios for a future Lismore were formulated by a panel of international and local design experts, brought together by Living Lab Northern Rivers, who responded to the outcomes of previous community meetings, visits to the city and intensive workshops. At the community meetings earlier in the year, clear opportunities for the future of Lismore emerged – a desire for safer and more diverse housing, greater connectivity, a vibrant CBD, active transport, increased food security, and a cleaner regenerated river and surrounding environment. Importantly, there was the need for confidence in a clearer future.
Visit the Living Lab Northern Rivers shopfront until 3 August to explore these ideas and have your say. Everyone is welcome, and staff will be on hand to explain the designs, answer questions and facilitate feedback. All responses these scenarios will be collected and shared with local and state government for their official planning processes.
