Rosenthal Avenue Redevelopment

 

​At least 40 temporary car parks will be available at the Lane Cove Plaza end of the Rosenthal Avenue redevelopment site by mid-April (the proposed date is 12th April, but this could change due to the wet weather this week).

To access the temporary car parking cars will enter via the shared zone in Birdwood Lane. The car park will operate as 2 hours free parking, monitored by Lane Cove Council. The car park will remain in place until additional parking is available on-site after the first stage of the permanent car park is completed later in the year.

On Monday 18th March there will be a major concrete pour at the Rosenthal Avenue Car Park site. Over 120 Concrete Trucks will be accessing the site from early morning. This proposed pour may change due to the wet weather we have experienced this weekend.  However if possible, avoid Rosenthal Avenue and Burns Bay Road on Monday.

 

Lane Cove Market Square Car Park

Lane Cove Council has advised that Stage 2 of the car park exit redevelopment will be implemented in the next two weeks.  A  large clock will be installed at the entrance to assist people to keep track of their entry time . Lane Cove Council is also installing equipment to improve the accuracy of the information on the entry signs and will where possible turn off signs which are not of assistance to the public (for example the sign on the outside of the car park which always notes the car park as FULL).

Greenwich Hospital Redevelopment Concept Plans

The Department of Planning has extended the timeframe for lodging comments on the proposed redevelopment of Greenwich Hospital. Submissions now close on the 5th of April 2019.  More details here.

Lane Cove Business Success Stories

We LOVE a good local success story. Lane Cove local Peita Pini is the inventor of The Swag. She appeared on Shark Tank and got a deal and now she is featured in O Magazine after being handpicked by Oprah as a fav environmental product in her O List. We are proud to say we saw her potential first (sorry OPRAH) – read our article here.

A big congratulations to Amanda Bracks founder and owner of Soulful Fitness. In April, Amanda will be inducted into Fitness Australia’s Roll of Honour for her contribution to the Fitness Industry.

Sport

Girl’s cricket is alive and well in Lane Cove!!!

Thank you to John O’Farrell from the Lane Cove Cricket Club who sent us photos and reported the following:

“Yesterday’s first ever U11 Girls Cricket Grand Final was contested by two teams from Lane Cove (LC Healy defeated LC Sthalekar) at Blackman Upper and Local Member Anthony Roberts officiated at the coin toss.

It was an outstanding season for the Lane Cove girls with all 3 teams participating in the finals series.”

Crime and incident Report

In what can only be described as a stupid act of vandalism a hoon drove their car all over newly upgraded Blackman Park Ovals 3 and 4 causing major damage to the turf.

If you saw or heard anything on Saturday night or have dashcam or CCTV vision please send this information to North Shore Police Area Command.

On Monday Night two cars were broken into on Third Ave Lane Cove. Forensics found finger prints on the car and this may assist police with their enquiries.

Built By Dezign

This week in review is sponsored by Lane Cove local builders Built by Dezign.  The owners live in Lane Cove and work in Lane Cove.  Renovations are their speciality.  Built by Dezign is an #itcplatinumsponsor. Without sponsors, we could not keep you up to date on all things Lane Cove or  undertake community and advocacy work in Lane Cove.  This is a peak of a kitchen installed in a Longueville Renovation.
