This week Lane Cove was in the news for all the wrong reasons. The media reported about an alleged assault on a schoolboy on Burns Bay Road. Lane Cove was also in the news after police put out a call for anyone who may have witnessed anyone acting suspiciously around Rotary Field after two fires last week.
The air quality was low this week with a smoke haze covering Sydney for most of the week. Our cover photo was taken by Luke David Cannon
Lane Cove November Council Meeting
Lane Cove Council held their monthly meeting on Monday 18th November 2019. Nine members of the public spoke about the Redevelopment of the Greenwich Hospital Site. Agenda items are listed below.
Schoolboy Bus Attack
A North Ryde man and a woman have been charged in relation to an incident involving a schoolboy on a bus travelling along Burns Bay Road Lane Cove this week. Read more here.
Light Up Lane Cove Cancelled
Lane Cove Council has advised that they will NOT be running the Light Up Lane Cove Competition this year. People liked the fact that there was an online map and houses entered not so much for the prize money (which the winners always donated to charity) but for the joy it brings Lane Cove Residents. In the Cove could not let this tradition lapse and we are in the process of pulling together a Lane Cove Christmas Lights Comp and map. Rebecca Mitchell Raine & Horne spoke to ITC about the comp and is on board as our major sponsor – she said quote unquote “we must have Christmas lights in Lane Cove”.
Please jump on board and help Lane Cove shine this Christmas.
Gold for Gunnedah Update
Last year Lane Cove reached into their pockets and with the help of over 60 local businesses, schools, child care centres, pre schools, sporting clubs and church groups and Lane Cove Council and raised nearly $32 000 for ITC’s Gold for Gunnedah. Last weekend Brownyn Deanne (who was an amazing volunteer for the campaign) and Lane Cove Rotary visited Gunnedah and saw first hand what had happened with our donations. Read the article that appeared in the Naomi Valley Independent.
