“The re-opening of many of our public facilities following their closure due to COVID-19 is great news for our community that will be very welcomed,” Lismore City Mayor Isaac Smith said.
“Our staff at all these facilities have been working to ensure we could re-open them as soon as possible while strictly adhering to State Government guidelines to ensure the safety of our community, visitors and staff.
