Welcome to our Lane Cove Week in Review for 10 to 16 July 2017.
New Business ITC
A new shop opened at Yorks Corner shops in Riverview this week – Anya Thai Massage. A Roving Reporter told us that she popped her head in to check it out and it looked very nice inside, and the massage prices seemed very reasonable.
Speaking of new businesses, the ITC community has been speculating over what will be opening in three recently leased shops in the heart of the village, by LJ Hooker Lane Cove. What are you hoping for? You can read the predictions HERE.
Locals in the News
Local Jacqueline Jones was in the news this week with her mindfulness course for school kids. St Michaels Primary School is working with her business Greatfulness. You can read the SMH article here.
Rental Vacancies on the Rise in Lane Cove
According to the AFR, rental vacancies in inner Sydney rose in the last month to their highest level in almost two years as new apartment stock coming into the market gave tenants more choice, Real Estate Institute of NSW figures showed an increase to 2.2 per cent from 1.9 per cent in May across a band of suburbs between Lane Cove, Randwick and Ashfield. This was the highest level since August 2015, according to the latest REINSW Vacancy Rate Survey.
The War on Waste Cranks up a Notch
We could imagine the Lane Cove Sustainability Action Group jumping for joy this week, when Woolworths and Coles made the huge announcement that they were (finally!) banning single-use plastic bags from their stores. You can read more about the good news HERE.
In other exciting news, local salon Infinity Hair are the first hair dressers in Lane Cove to become a Sustainable Salon. They are not only ensuring 95% of their salon waste is recycled, but Infinity are helping bigger environmental issues by contributing your hair cuttings to make Hair Booms. Read all about it HERE.
