Lane Cove Market Square Car Park
We can finally reveal that the Lane Cove Council has taken steps to improve the Lane Cove Market Square Carpark. Works will soon begin to construct another exit.

It will also mean that if people are waiting for a driver to park this will not hold up everyone trying to leave.
