Lane Cove Fair
The Lane Cove Rotary Fair and Sustainability Lane went off today with over 8000 people descending on the Lane Cove Village. The rain stopped at 8am and did not rain again until after the fair finished at 5pm. It’s such a great day to meet the local community. It is always on the second Sunday in October so put the date in your diary now for next year. Well done to Lane Cove Rotary and the Lane Cove Council for such a great event. It was lovely to meet so many In the Cove followers. Thank you for your kind words.

Food Drive
Sydney Community Services is having a food drive. Help your neighbours in ‘Anti-poverty Week’ 14-20 October 2018. Donations (cans or another non-perishable food or toiletries to the Sydney Community Services office at Little Street Lane Cove (next to the Lane Cove Aquatic Centre).
You might not know that many of our neighbours live on low incomes and they’d be glad to receive donated food, so they could pay for some other essential items. In Ryde 17.7% people live on less than $650 weekly while about 15% in Hunters Hill and 10.5% of people in Lane Cove manage on similar tight budgets.
Social housing provides a roof for 5% of people in Hunters Hill; in Lane Cove West it’s 7%; in Lane Cove North and Ryde, 4% of people are in social housing.
Little Street Car Park
Many people have not wanted to use the Little Street Car Park due to the rear to kerb parking signage. This signage was advisory only (however many people thought they would be booked if they did park rear to kerb). New signage has been installed as per below which not states basically park how you like at your own risk.
