Have Your Say On the proposed Cameraygal Park
Lane Cove Council has developed a proposal for the vacant land at 69 Longueville Rd to become a park designed with Aboriginal interpretation and culture as the key objective. The site is currently owned by the Roads and Maritime Services, (RMS) who is attempting to sell it for development as a six storey building. The development of the site will require transfer of the site to Council by the RMS.
In the interim Council is raising community awareness of the project. Whilst funding for the project has not been secured, the nature of the project is such that it should be eligible for a range of grants. The design is also scalable, meaning a park in some form will be able to be built. The key to the project remains in having the land transferred to Council.
To find out more about the proposal:
- View the proposal at:
- Lane Cove Civic Centre, 48 Longueville Rd, Lane Cove;
- Lane Cove Library, Library Walk, Lane Cove;
- online by clicking here...
Council invites comments on the proposal at any time during the period of exhibition until 18 February 2012. If you have any enquiries please contact Susan Butler, Manager – Open Space on 9911 3566.

Proposed Lane Cove West Courtesy Bus and Levy
Council is proposing to introduce a new express commuter shuttle bus service to and from Lane Cove West Business Park and Chatswood Railway Station. This would be a dedicated service for commuters during peak morning and afternoon periods.
Several funding options for the proposed new service have been considered, including a direct charge to users of the service. However, the Passenger Transport Act does not permit Council to charge passengers for charter bus services operating on fixed routes and timetables, hence a suggested alternative is to fund the service through a Courtesy Bus Levy.
For a trial period of two (2) years Council proposes to introduce this levy for approximately 50 of the business park’s largest property owners. Should the proposed bus service prove successful from the trial period Council will consider extending the Courtesy Bus Levy to all properties in the business park.
Council is currently in the process of consulting with key stakeholders on the proposed implementation of this levy and intends only to proceed with the proposed levy trial if the majority of rate payers support the funding option.
You can read more about the proposed Courtesy Bus Levy here. To have your say please make a submission to Council’s Transport Planner by post at Lane Cove Council, PO Box 20, Lane Cove NSW 1595 or via email.
For further information please contact Council's Transport Planner, Tim Sullivan on 9911 3663 or via email. |
