THE NSW Government and Richmond Valley Council have worked with the Australian Government to replace two key bridges at Tatham.

LISMORE”S CBD flood defence system is about to be strengthened with the installation of two submersible flood pumps at the Magellan Street flood pump station.

Primary producers like Wardell canegrower Gordon Lowrey are reaping the rewards of the $5-million Northern Rivers Agricultural Drainage Reset Program.

The rebuild of Lismore South Public School is continuing with its first building modules lifted into place.

A flood buyback auction in Murwillumbah resulted in all 10 properties being sold for a total of $185,000.

NSW Minister for Recovery and Lismore MP Janelle Saffin says Lismore Showground will have additional parking and event capacity under a lease covering vacant Resilient Homes Program buyback land in North Lismore.

Foundations have been laid for 50 new flood-free build-to-rent homes at East Lismore. NSW Premier Chris Minns was briefed on progress when he visited Lismore on Friday, 13 March.

Flood buyback auctions continue their popularity in 2026 with 10 homes going under the hammer in Lismore for a total value of $266,100.

MURWILLUMBAH will be one of 10 regional towns that will share in $2million of funding to support the growth of their night-time economies.

NSW Minister for Small Business Janelle Saffin says a new database will shine a light on women-led enterprises across the Northern Rivers, Northern Tablelands and New South Wales.
