Floodland Documentary Screening at Laurieton Services Club

Award-Winning Documentary Comes to Laurieton

Sydney Film Festival award-winning documentary Floodland is coming to Laurieton Services Club on Saturday, 10th October 2026. Hosted by LUSC and Lyne Together, this special free screening will be followed by an expert panel discussion focused on disaster resilience and emergency preparedness for our local community.

Floodland captures the devastating 2022 Lismore floods through the eyes of the residents who lived through them. Moving beyond the news cycle, the film highlights First Nations healing practices and community-led solutions that are vital for Australia’s future in the face of a changing climate.

Special Panel Discussion on Local Emergency Resilience

Following the screening, an expert panel will discuss ways to minimise risk during a local emergency. The panel includes representatives from Health, Local Government, and the SES – bringing together the voices and expertise our region needs to hear.

The story of the Lismore floods is an opportunity for our regional community to learn about disaster resilience in the face of droughts and bushfires. It’s an invitation to pull together and reflect on how communities can bounce back in the face of hardship.
