Happy New Year. Many local businesses take the opportunity to have a break in the first two weeks of the year. Relax we are here to help you.
If you NEED a coffee on New Year’s Day Morning (and who doesn’t!?), lor you’re all out of a vital ingredient for some New Year baking, we’ve got the intel here with our list of trading hours.
Restaurants and Cafes are allowed to open but they must adhere to the 2 sqm rule for indoor dining. However, in Lane Cove we are lucky to have so many cafes and restaurants with outdoor dining options.

Lane Cove Businesses
Petrol, Convenience Stores, Booze and Yikes I have Locked Myself Out
If you need Petrol and Convenience Store items on New Year’s Day, Jack & Co is open. You can buy petrol, coffee, ice, snack food and more. They are located on River Road/Northwood Road Northwood and Burns Bay Road/Centennial Av Lane Cove (yes some people get confused with the street name changes).
Centro Lane Cove West is open – it is worth checking them out as they have an extensive range and if you are looking for a present for a homesick US, Brazillian, Asian friend they have a big range of foods from overseas to try.

Many people clean up between the Christmas and New Year holidays. The local op shops and recycling centre are closed until the new year – do not dump
The Community Recycling Centre located at 8 Waltham Street in Artarmon is a one-stop shop for safely disposing of problem household wastes such as paint, gas bottles, e-waste or motor oil and more. In other words, problem wastes that can’t be collected via council kerbside waste or recycling collection services all year round.
