Surveying a Town Shaped by the Wilsons River and Leycester Creek

Lismore was built at the meeting point of Wilsons River and Leycester Creek, a location that gives the town its distinctive bowl shaped catchment and its long recorded history of flooding, with around 155 flood events documented since 1850. A levee built in 2005 protects the Lismore CBD in smaller and moderate flood events, though it has been overtopped several times since construction during larger events. For any building or development work in Lismore, understanding site levels relative to these known flood behaviours is a key part of the planning process, and accurate detail surveys give property owners and builders the information needed to work within council requirements.

Working Across a Growing Regional Centre

As the commercial and administrative centre of the Northern Rivers, Lismore continues to see steady residential and commercial development, from infill housing in established neighbourhoods through to new subdivisions on the town’s outskirts. Whether a project involves extending an existing home, subdividing a larger block, or preparing a commercial site for construction, accurate boundary and detail surveys are the starting point for confirming what a property can support. Our team supports property owners, builders and developers across Lismore with the full range of survey work these projects require, always working with an understanding of the town’s flood prone geography.
