Lismore CBD Ordered to Evacuate as Flooding Escalates
Parts of the New South Wales east coast are preparing for major flooding this afternoon as the severe weather lashes the state, sparking new evacuation orders.
An evacuation order for Lismore CBD, Lismore Basin and low lying areas of East Lismore and Girards Hill has been issued.
This is on top of the seven evacuation orders issued earlier today by the NSW State Emergency Services (NSW SES) for the Northern Rivers region.
Lismore residents are being warned to leave by 4pm as the Wilson River is expected to peak this afternoon.
The Wilson River at Lismore is expected to peak this afternoon.

An evacuation order has also been issued for Coraki’s Riverside Caravan Park, with residents urged to leave by 7pm.
The evacuation centre is located at the Southern Cross University in Lismore.
NSW SES said levels will reach near the Lismore Levee Height of 10.6 metres.
The emergency service does not believe the levee in Lismore will be overwhelmed by floodwaters and that levels could remain below those last month.
“The Lismore levee has been assessed and there is no significant structural damage,” NSW SES Acting Commissioner Daniel Austin said.
“It is borderline.”
Floodwater surrounds a house in Lismore as evacuation order issued.
It comes as meteorologist Dean Narramore said moderate to major flooding is expected this afternoon on the Tweed River and Wilson River, which has sparked the new evacuation orders.
However, the rain is expected to ease off for the Northern Rivers today despite the river continuing to rise.
“We’re expecting showers and possible rain but not the widespread persistent rainfall we saw last night,” Mr Narramore said.
Meteorologist Dean Narramore has warned of severe weather in the Coffs Harbour region.
Warning for Coffs Harbour residents
Coffs Harbour is also in the firing line as flood warnings begin to be implemented due to the heavy rainfall.
A minor flood warning is in place for Coffs Creek.
BoM also said minor flooding is occurring at Grafton St Bridge.
Heavy rainfall has hit Coffs Harbour with some roads flooding.
More rain is expected for the area into this evening.
“The rainfall we saw last night in the Northern rivers is now around the Grafton to Coffs Harbour area,” Mr Narramore said.
“A particular concern over the next 12 to 24 hours is the Coffs Harbour area.”
Mr Narramore warned of moderate to major flooding on the Orara River and Bellinger River on the Mid North Coast of NSW.
“We could see six hourly totals of 50 to 150mm with isolated falls in excess of 200mm possible and that is likely to lead to dangerous flash flooding causing life threatening conditions,” he said.
Landslides and debris from the rainfall could also cause road closures in the region.
Flooding is also possible further south in the Hunter and Hawkesbury regions.
‘Treacherous’ conditions in Queensland
The floods have once again turned deadly, with the body of a man swept away by floodwaters in Queensland found by police this morning, bringing the state’s death toll to 19 since January.
Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has expressed her concern over the impact of the floods as the state is inundated by rain.
She said multiple parts of the Gold Coast have seen 200mm of rain getting up to 358mm in Tallebudgera.
Four schools have been forced to close and multiple roads have been deemed “treacherous”.
QFES have conducted more than 14 swiftwater rescues in 24 hours, while SES has more than 240 jobs to work through. (QFES)
There have been 14 calls for rescues in the past day while there were hundreds of jobs overnight.
“There were over 240 SES jobs,” Commander of State Operations Cheryl-Lee Fitzgerald said, confirming the “immediate threat” has moved south to NSW.
“We do have a number of crews that are actually going to move south and help our neighbours in Northern Rivers.”
Lismore in ‘hands of the gods’
Lismore Mayor Steve Krieg said the town is “shattered” and dealing with “flood fatigue” as a new evacuation order is in place for the area.
“It just really drains you emotionally and mentally,” Mr Krieg said.
Severe flooding hits Lismore in northern NSW in the worst flood ever recorded on Monday February 28 2022.
Lismore Mayor Steve Krieg said the town is exhausted and drained amid the threat of another flood.
“We’re very much in the hands of the gods at the moment.
“If the expected rainfall comes in today our river could rise quite dramatically this afternoon.
“If the rain stays out towards the coast we may dodge a bullet and our river might only get to that moderate level.”
