Lismore is a shoppers’ paradise with Lismore Shopping Square, Lismore Central Shopping Centre and the Goonellabah Village all at your fingertips, and plenty of fashion boutiques to be found in the many arcades hidden in town.
 
A city well versed in education, there are plenty of public and private schools to choose from, as well as preschools, TAFE colleges and Australia’s main Southern Cross University Campus.
