In our shopfront, 11 Woodlark Street Lismore

A new exhibition and public program

Examples of the national housing crisis are everywhere right now. It’s hard to go online and not read another story about the unreachable cost of property today, or the lack of housing choices for those with particular needs. Of course, we know this emergency was around before the floods inundated our communities in 2022, but the devastation made it worse. So where do we go from here?

We believe there's a great opportunity within these deeply challenging times. There's renewed government interest in delivering better housing for our region. We've got a highly engaged community that's passionate about building back better. And there's an openness to new ideas, which have to be considered in order to meet people's needs. 

Bring It On Home is an invitation to everyone in the Northern Rivers to think about housing beyond their own doorstep, to learn what we have around here and, more importantly, what's missing. There are some excellent housing projects exploring the ways we may forge a path forward. We also speculate on a few local sites to see how the community feels about the potential of these new approaches. Join us in imagining a thriving tomorrow with housing that's more than just shelter, but diverse and responsive.

Bring It On Home
Exploring housing beyond our own backyards.
