Introduction
Officeworks Lismore stands as more than just a retail outlet—it’s become a symbol of resilience, community support, and comprehensive service in the heart of Northern Rivers. Today, it offers local professionals, students, parents, and businesses a one-stop destination for all office, tech, and creative needs.
A Store Rebuilt from the Floods
In early 2022, devastating floods swept through Lismore, severely damaging the original Officeworks store. But from adversity came renewal: after 25 weeks of intensive restoration, Officeworks Lismore reopened with a rejuvenated space, 42 staff members (including eight new local hires), and a refreshed spirit focused on serving the community better than ever.
A Modern Layout That Inspires
The revamped store spans approximately 1,615 square metres, retaining its generous footprint while undergoing a full makeover. Inside, shoppers will find polished flooring, eye-catching Australian-made brand signage, and a layout that’s thoughtfully organized across 55 new retail segments. The store layout now features a larger tech display, a standout pen unit, and dedicated Apple and Microsoft benches to explore gadgets hands-on.

Supportive and Local-Team Focused
The reopening wasn’t just about bricks and mortar. Store Business Manager Peter Walden emphasized how the company prioritized their team during reconstruction. Employees were given temporary roles—with flexibility and job security—within nearby stores or the customer service centre, helping them rebuild their lives while supporting the community’s recovery.

-
$30,000 in supplies to Lismore South Public School via GIVIT Flood Relief.

$10,000 worth of books to Lismore Library.
-
$2,000 in cash and gift cards to First Steps Early Learning Centre.
