Subscriber only The operators of a Richmond Valley sawmill are finally looking to restart operations, almost 18 months after it was destroyed in a devastating bushfire. A development application has been lodged with Richmond Valley Council for the site of the Myrtle Creek sawmill on Myrtle Creek Rd, and it is currently on public exhibition. However it is not for a full-scale sawmill. In documents lodged with the council by Graham Meineke of Lismore-based GM Project Development and Management, it states the DA is for a mobile sawmill that will primarily saw/dock logs for the firewood market . The operators will not use the main shed, which was partially destroyed, along with two saws, in the 2019 bushfires.
