Lismore Transit Centre Undergoes Accessibility Upgrade

Construction has commenced on a new accessible toilet and change facility at the Lismore Transit Centre, underscoring Lismore City Council’s dedication to enhancing the accessibility of public amenities.

Mayor Steve Krieg highlighted the Council’s commitment to providing high-quality facilities for the community, especially for the estimated 3,000 local residents living with a disability.

“In Lismore, 7.1% of our population requires assistance with daily activities due to disability,” Mayor Krieg stated. “This equates to potentially 3,000 individuals in our community who will now have access to an appropriate, accessible public change facility in the CBD.”

The Council secured $244,725 from the NSW Government’s Stronger Country Communities Fund for the Lismore Transit Centre Changing Places Facility upgrade.

“By incorporating a changing place in the CBD, we can better meet the needs of all community members, enabling people with disabilities and their carers to spend more time in town, enjoying dining, shopping, accessing services, and socialising,” Mayor Krieg added.

“The Transit Centre is an ideal location for an accessible toilet, benefiting those using bus services in and around Lismore, as well as regional travellers.”

Council’s commitment to providing supportive infrastructure ensures that Lismore remains a desirable place to live, an easy place to work, and a welcoming place to visit.
