What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A $16.5 million upgrade to the Browns Creek Pump Station in Lismore is set to begin construction in November. The project will increase the station's capacity from 4,000 litres of water per second to 10,000 litres per second, allowing it to move two and a half times as much water during flood events. The upgrade is funded by the Australian Government through the Northern Rivers Recovery and Resilience Program, administered by the NSW Reconstruction Authority.
