New Businesses

KX Pilates Lane Cove

A new pilates studio has opened in the MBE Lane Cove arcade. KX Lane Cove opened its doors on October 26th. The studio is an uncluttered, warm and inviting space with 12 reformers beds. KX Lane Cove offers a unique workout experience. The owner Divya Hegde is a local who owned  Yoga Studios in Chatswood and then Roseville for many years. She is excited to be bringing this high-intensity Pilates workout to the people of Lane Cove after initially visiting a KX Pilates studio over 3 years ago. She was impressed and hooked and the rest is history.

Elia

Elia the new bathroom/kitchen/laundry showroom has opened on Burns Bay Road (the Old Claphams Antique Showroom).

According to their Facebook page:

Elia passionately transforms the home by challenging the ordinary.

Directors Najee and Anthony Elia launched the company on the back of decades of family experience, knowledge and a journey illuminated by inspiration.

Through years of research and development, the Elia brand was born from an obsession with design, style, functionality and enduring quality.

Elia offers a vast range of products from the world’s most renowned bathroomware brands, while foregrounding innovation. With the client remaining at the heart of Elia, we enable an expression of individuality and creativity to create their ideal bathroom.

Our state-of-the art showroom in Lane Cove will include its own private design space for homeowners, builders, designers or architects to meet and collaborate on projects with the complete range of materials, colour samples and displays to visualize at their fingertips.

Welcome to a new frontier of the bathroom industry. Elia has dared to challenge the ordinary in the pursuit of making your next bathroom project extraordinary.

Welcome to Lane Cove Elia.

Goodstart Early Learning Lane Cove

We offer a child led, play-based approach to learning. Children are central to everything we do and we believe families are our primary partners. We also value our connection to the local community by regularly taking the children on community walks, engaging with the local primary schools, and involving the children in programs offered at Lane Cove Library.

We offer added programs such as music and dance, cooking and sports skills development. Children are provided a relaxed environment where they are afforded ample time to play, learn, eat and rest. They are also responsible for their environment by tending to our vegetable gardens, watering the plants and looking after their own spaces.
