Welcome to a wet Sunday. This week it threatened to bucket down on Lane Cove, but we seemed to miss the big thunderstorm, but the pictures taken by our roving reporters were spectacular.
New E-Waste Recycling Bin Installed in The Canopy
Lane Cove Council has now installed an E-waste recycling bin for e-waste, small appliances and cd/DVDs in the shopping level of The Canopy (located between Coles and ALDI). The Lane Cove Sustainability Action Group will monitor the bin. (see our cover photo)
The LCSAG’s share bag bins have now been put back in The Canopy, Lane Cove Market Square and other shopping locations in Lane Cove.

Lane Cove Council Meeting 15 March 2021
The Lane Cove Council will hold its March meeting on 15 March 2021.
The most controversial items on the agenda is the Bob Campbell Oval recession motion by three councillors. They seek to overturn the decision made in November 2020 to upgrade the oval by installing a synthetic oval.
The Sydney Morning Herald has reported that the Minister for Planning the Hon Rob Stokes, has requested his department investigate sustainable alternatives to synthetic grass amid growing concerns about its environmental and health impacts. Further details here.
UPDATE: AT THE LANE COVE COUNCIL MEETING THIS RECISSION MOTION WAS DEFEATED.

“We have acquired the freehold for the Shell site at Burns Bay Road, Lane Cove. Whilst Coles is exiting as an operator; the site will continue trading as a Shell-branded petrol station.”
