While many are open now, or will open by the end of the year, some might take a little bit more time - but the good news is, they will be back.
Lismore council says 100 of its sites were affected by the February and March 2022 flooding events, including buildings, parks, public toilets and facilities.
As assessments continue, the council says the number of sites damaged by flood or storm water continues to grow.

"The Scope of work required on each site is yet to be finalised. Therefore dates regarding the availability of council's buildings, parks and facilities are subject to change. Additionally, the availability of contractors and materials may cause delays in the progress of the restoration projects. Some restoration works are also subject to weather conditions which may cause delays," the council states.
Listed are seven community assets that will reopen next year and the estimated completion dates of the rebuild projects.
