Essential Plumbing Project

Restoring critical plumbing for Lismore Residents

In February 2023, Resilient Lismore partnered with Reece Foundation to restore essential plumbing to 72 homes.
Volunteer tradespeople were recruited from Reece Foundation’s networks across Australia, who then came to Lismore to install donated stock from Reece Plumbing.

Summary of Project

The project enabled the restoration of essential plumbing in homes that had been without running water for a year; and attended to basic sanitation, with the restoration of bathrooms, kitchens, taps and toilets. The project was the first time that Reece Foundation had deployed in Australia and enabled a significant evolution in the work that Resilient Lismore was delivering. Reece Foundation was also instrumental in supporting Resilient Lismore to undertake its election funding advocacy, so that this important and ongoing work could continue. 

The project engaged Huber Social – a social impact measurement organisation to help measure project outcomes.
