Lismore has completed a $1.28 million upgrade to the Gasworks Creek pump station, part of a $29.8 million modernization project funded by the Australian government through the Northern Rivers Recovery and Resilience Program. The upgrade includes raising electrical systems above the 2022 flood level of 14.4 meters and installing trash screens to prevent blockages.

Lismore City Council will also begin constructing a new pump station in South Lismore and upgrading the Browns Creek and Magellan Street stations. The enhancements are designed to improve stormwater management and flood resilience, particularly during high-intensity rain events.
