Lane Cove Business Round Up February 2018

It has been a big month in Lane Cove with one prominent Lane Cove business closing down.

Opened

A new menswear business has opened on Longueville Road in the old Dkor Interiors premises.  There is no signage as yet.  So we can’t tell you much about the business. However, we can tell you they currently have an end of season sale.

An International Trade and Exhibition Centre has opened up in the old Kidstuff shop on Burns Bay Road.  They will be in Lane Cove for the next 18 months before moving into the City.  A DA has been lodged for this site and you can find out more about it here.

New Women’s Counselling Practice

A counselling and coaching practice specifically for women has opened in Lane Cove.  Trish Sara worked previously at Parramatta Community Health in its Counselling Department but saw an opportunity to serve women in her local community.

“Women are faced with many of the same issues as men, however, some of the challenges that cause us the most stress are often more prevalent in (but not exclusive to) our gender.Emotions around becoming a mother, juggling work and home, changes that come with age and our perception of ourselves, the emotions around our children leaving home (or not leaving home!), caring for aging parents, just to name a few … can leave us feeling overwhelmed, disempowered and unable to focus on what we need for and want for our lives, much less the time and space to flourish.” Trish Said.

Trish conducts face-to-face counselling and coaching sessions as well as small group workshops.

Trish said, My ‘Live the Life You Want’ workshops are aimed to explore who and why we are, what we want for our lives and how to plan the life we want now and in the future.

For further information on Trish’s services go to www.trishsara.com.au or phone Trish on 0438 388 336.

Rage Security

Until very recently Rage Security’s founder Bruce worked for another electronic security company. Bruce worked there for a long time and together they did a lot of good things; things he is am very proud of. The company was acquired and things changed dramatically, and quickly. The name changed, the location changed, the focus changed and as a result, the personnel changed. Bruce thought it was time to do things his own way and Rage Security was born.  

At Rage Security the catchphrase is Red, Rock Solid and Restless. This alliterative phrase is the habit Rage have forged which is to be passionate (red), reliably good (rock solid) and always aiming to do better (restless).

Rage installs, maintains, services and repairs security alarm systems, access control systems, CCTV and provide monitoring services. Their experience is very broad from small residential installations through retail, business, commercial, industrial and they are also experienced in areas of construction.

Bruce is happy to meet, discuss and work collaboratively on solutions that meet people’s needs, both security and financial. If Rage can’t help, they will find someone who can, whether it be door and lock specialists or glass and screen experts as they are aligned with many local trades. 

It’s a wild world – Rage it!

RENOVATIONS

The Lane Cove Club is about to undergo a complete transformation.  The Lane Cove Club is now owned by the same group that owns the Greens in North Sydney.  The club will be closed for all of April and will open again in mid-May.  ITC met with the Lane Cove Club and they showed us the renovation plans and the new menu options – they were both impressive.  We will let you know when they reopen with a new look and a new name.

CLOSED

The Lodge

The Lodge has closed.  The rent for these premises is astronomical and it is very hard to keep a business going with reduced foot traffic, less parking and a rent review on the horizon.  Matt and Marketa were always very generous and donated to many local charities.

Suncorp Bank

The Suncorp Bank branch on Longueville Road has closed.
