Help shape our region’s disaster adaptation planning

The NSW Reconstruction Authority is developing the Northern Rivers' first Disaster Adaptation Plan — an action plan to reduce risk and prepare for natural hazards, climate change and future challenges.

What do you value?

This workshop is your opportunity to contribute to this planning process. Whether you’ve lived here your whole life or just arrived, your perspective matters.

Join residents from the Lismore area to share what you care about and what concerns you. Living Lab Northern Rivers has designed a meaningful, interactive workshop where you can share what you value most about where you live—what you want to protect, what concerns you and what priorities should guide our region’s future.

Your insights shape planning

Everything shared will contribute to the evidence base for the Disaster Adaptation Plan. All participants will have access to insights gathered from all workshops across the Northern Rivers.
