Have Your Say - Proposal for a Night-Time Ban on Fishing Activity from Council’s Wharves Council has developed a proposal to introduce a night-time ban on fishing activity from Council’s Wharves. There are four wharves in the Lane Cove LGA:      i.                Bay Street Wharf;      ii.               Greenwich Ferry Wharf;      iii.              Longueville Wharf; and      iv.              Northwood Wharf. With fishing activities occurring during night time hours, noise concerns for local residents have increased. Council’s street cleaning unit have also reported increased fish waste being left on the wharves. To address the noise issue, the proposal recommends that fishing activities be banned from 6pm to 8am on weekends and from 8pm to 6am on weekdays. The proposal is currently on exhibition at the following locations: Council Civic Centre, 48 Longueville Road, Lane Cove Lane Cove Library, 164 Longueville Road, Lane Cove Greenwich Library, 48 Greenwich Road, Greenwich  Or you can download it online here.
