"Following the devastating Northern Rivers floods in New South Wales in 2022,
roughly 14,000 truckloads of water-damaged materials were sent to landfill.
The flood exposed many things, including our unimaginative approach to managing
waste. As immediate recovery moved into reconstruction, we saw an opportunity
to manage this flood-damaged material differently.
We proposed an alternative to traditional house demolition. It was piloted on
two flood-damaged houses in Lismore, using a “circular” model that could reuse
materials and eliminate waste.
As well as offering potential economic benefits for the local community, our
report found it had considerable social and environmental value."
