Lane Cove News Week in Review 8th to 14th December 2019

    It was a breeze to park in Lane Cove this week.  Obviously people are loving The Canopy as there were spaces at Lane Cove Market Square. While they are testing out the parking system, parking is free at The Canopy.

    Seniors’ Parking Sign

    A question was asked on ITC Lane Cove Chat as to why the senior’s car parking space had to have a sign with a person with a walking stick to indicate seniors’ parking.

    Return and Earn

    The return and earn machine is now operational in Little Street Car Park.

    Sunrise in Lane Cove

    Sunrise wanted to do a live weather cross at a local Tennis Club and they picked the Lane Cove Tennis Club.  Sam Mac from Sunrise had a game with 72-year-old member Warren.

    Lane Cove 50 m Outdoor Pool

    Progress on the 50m Outdoor Pool is going well.  This week it was filled to check for leaks. (see our cover photo).

    Council is collecting funds to transport more than 1 million litres of water from its 50m outdoor pool to drought-stricken areas in NSW.

    Council is currently in the deep-end of construction of a new outdoor pool, and as part of the site safety testing, the pool was required to be filled with water and emptied. Instead of disposing of the water down the drain, Council dived right in to arrange for the water to be accepted by organisations in Armidale, NSW. The water will be used to assist firefighters and farmers with livestock.

    Make a splash by donating to help Council fund the transport of the water from Lane Cove to Armidale. If all goes swimmingly, it is expected the water will be transported to Armidale in late 2019 or early 2020.
