Read the Mayor's November message

Published on 31 October 2025

I am looking forward to starting November with a delicious day out at Burns Bay Reserve for Food & Wine by the River, one of our community’s most anticipated events of the year. On Sunday 2 November whether you’re there for the wine, the food, the music, or the dog show, there’s something for everyone. It’s a celebration of both the Mudgee Wine Region and the playful spirit of Lane Cove.

The river themed events will continue throughout November as part of our Festival by the River. We have river-themed arts and crafts, our new Lane Cove Cinema Club and nature events throughout the month. Before we know it, December will be here, and I am very excited to kick off all things Christmas on Friday 5 December with the Bluey Live Christmas Experience and of course the traditional Lighting of the Christmas Tree at Lane Cove Plaza. 

Spread the Christmas cheer this season with Trees of Joy

Our Trees of Joy will be back this year accepting donations of unwrapped gifts to help share magic of Christmas in our community with those who need it most. Select a tag from a tree, write a heartfelt message, and donate an unwrapped gift to go with it. Gifts such as cinema passes, toys for younger children and gift vouchers are always incredibly appreciated.

Gifts will be distributed to local families in need in collaboration with Delvena Women and Children’s Refuge and Catholic Care.

Open Date: Wednesday 12 November
Close Date: Friday 5 December
Drop Off Locations: Civic Centre,
Lane Cove Libraries, Kindy Cove
