Welcome to our Lane Cove Business monthly round up of all business happenings during February 2017. If it opened, closed, rebranded, refurbed or anything else, we’ve (hopefully) covered it here!
New Businesses/Now Open
Lane Cove Business Hub
Brand new community facilities are now open in the recently completed Little Street development. Known as the Lane Cove Community Hub, the facility includes the new Terrace Function Room, capable of holding a function for over 150 people with access to the adjacent commercial kitchen. There is also a purpose-built space for Lane Cove and North Side Community Services which incorporates the Park View Room (a 70 person community space) and studios for the Lane Cove Music and Cultural Centre.
Built on the site of the former 87-space Little Street Car Park, the community facilities are contained within an impressive development that includes 200 public car spaces as well as private residences and associated parking also within the building. A pedestrian footbridge over to the Lane Cove Aquatic Centre is also now open providing full off-street access for Aquatic Centre users who park within the Little Street Car Park.

New Ownership/Management or Business Changes
Lane Cove Golf Club
Michael Meade has resigned from his position of President of the Lane Cove Golf Club.
Dear Members,
I am pleased to advise that at the Club Board meeting on 20 February, I handed over the Presidency to Alan Moss. After 2 1/2 years in the job, (having advised at the 2016 AGM, that I intended to step down), it’s timely to do so almost half way through the year. I am very pleased to hand over to Alan, please offer him and the Board your continued full support.
I’ll be staying on as a Director for the immediate future.
With kind regards,
Michael Meade
