Big Rob represents Lismore Lake Incorporated Landcare, which was established in 2021 to help progress the regeneration of the Lismore Lake Precinct as a bird sanctuary and as an accessible and inclusive community recreation space alongside the Wilsons River in South Lismore.
Big Rob is a lawyer, a councillor at both Lismore City Council and Rous County Council, and an active member of Lismore City Council's Flood Risk Management Committee. Passionate about flood mitigation, Big Rob wants to see various options implemented to help reduce the impact of flooding in the region. Nature-based solutions will compliment various other options to mitigate flooding, while also assisting with geomorphic and riparian condition, aquatic macroinvertebrates, water quality, and overall river health.
