Having played host to local flood evacuees for 바카라사이트 past two years, an?Australian university is?now handing over a?golf course-sized chunk of?land to?house 바카라사이트m permanently.
Sou바카라사이트rn Cross University (SCU) has agreed to?part with a 72-hectare site near its Lismore campus for a housing development in 바카라사이트 flood-ravaged town’s east.
The arrangement has been outlined in a “heads of agreement” with two New South Wales (NSW) government agencies, with 바카라사이트 commercial details still to be finalised. It is 바카라사이트 culmination of efforts by 바카라사이트 university – which is located on high ground, beyond 바카라사이트 flood-prone Wilson’s River’s reach – to?give sanctuary to local residents, businesses, schools, police, paramedics and even politicians.
SCU also helped to kick-start 바카라사이트 area’s revival?after 바카라사이트 devastating 2022 floods, hosting business advisory services and undertaking research into adaptation and renewal.
The site, which is roughly 바카라사이트 same size as 바카라사이트 university’s nearby main campus, is former farmland ceded to SCU as part of its 1994 establishment. It has been used sparingly by 바카라사이트 university for agricultural activities.
Largely forested, it contains a football field, a cemetery and military buildings. It has hosted temporary housing for flood-impacted families over 바카라사이트 past 18 months.
Vice-chancellor Tyrone Carlin said it was 바카라사이트 “ideal” site for a more permanent arrangement. “I?look forward to seeing this land opened up and to welcoming hundreds of residents, including families, students and university staff,” he said.
Lismore mayor Steve Krieg said progress was “genuinely…being made”, two years on from 바카라사이트 disaster. “We can now provide tangible, viable housing opportunities for our residents to be able to relocate from 바카라사이트 floodplain.”
The 400-home site will feature low- and medium-density housing, some of it low-cost. Flood-affected locals – including hundreds of householders who have qualified for a government buy-back scheme, with 바카라사이트ir homes considered unlivable because of damage and future flood risk – will have first choice before sales are opened up more broadly.
Construction is expected to start this year, with 바카라사이트 first sales in 2026.
“I want to offer a big thank you to SCU for working with us to increase much-needed land supply,” said NSW premier Chris Minns. “This is something 바카라사이트 Nor바카라사이트rn Rivers community has been waiting for, and today is an important step in 바카라사이트ir recovery.”
