The good news is that there have been no cases recorded of community transmission in the Lane Cove Council area since the 24 June 2020.
We are often asked about COVID19 testing. The Sydney North Health Network has put together a flyer outlining all the different options. If you do need to get tested we have details of the testing facilities in this article with recommendations from locals.
Please remember if you have any symptoms get tested and remain isolated until you receive your results.
Hit and Run Rampage
This week started with the news that two Lane Cove Cyclists (who were not cycling together) were the random victims of a hit and run driver who went on a rampage causing 8 crashes. He was arrested at Penrith – more details here.
2020 Lane Cove Village Rotary Fair Cancelled
We are sad to report that one of Lane Cove’s biggest and much-loved events The Lane Cove Village Rotary Fair has been cancelled for 2020. This is such a shame but the correct call given the COVID19 status. ITC loves the fair as we get to meet so many of our followers. It is also Lane Cove Rotary’s biggest fundraiser of the year and they use those funds to help local organisations and other important causes. We can’t wait to see it back in 2021.
It Doesn’t Rain Then it Pours
This week Lane Cove has kept Sydney Water busy with several burst water pipes. One leak was so bad ITC had to put a call out for the owner of a car who was parked over the leak, eyewitnesses were concerned a sinkhole was developing. If you see a water leak, take a picture and then upload it to Snap Send Solve to report – we don’t want Level 1 water restrictions and COVID19 together!!
The Canopy sprung a leak after a sprinkler head was knocked off. This lead to the evacuation of Coles and Aldi.

Sydney Speech Clinic
This week in review is sponsored by Sydney Speech Clinic. People are often surprised to find out that a large part of the role of many speech pathologists is to support reading and spelling skills.
Speech pathologists have specialist knowledge in the field of oral (spoken) language development and associated disorders. They aim to identify underlying oral language difficulties, provide intervention tailored to the individual child and to support the generalisation of skills from oral to written language. Find out more about what a speech pathologist does here.
Sydney Speech Clinic is pleased to welcome a new team member (pictured below). Elizabeth brings extensive speech pathology experience both as a therapist in clinical practice and also as a clinical educator to students. Welcome Elizabeth.
If you have concerns about your child’s speech, language or literacy skills contact Sydney Speech Clinic on (02) 8404 0715 or make an enquiry here. Sydney Speech Clinic is located at 1 Pottery Lane (Little Street Car Park building) in purpose-built premises.
