Read the Mayor's October Message

Published on 01 October 2025

Every October we look forward to the Lane Cove Rotary Fair and Sustainability Lane, and this year is no exception! On Sunday 12 October from 9:00am– 4:00pm we are shutting down Longueville Road and Burns Bay Road for a huge street party, with rides, music, a barbecue, and so much more.

At The Canopy, Council is hosting Sustainability Lane, promoting sustainability and eco-friendly lifestyles. There will be plenty of family friendly activities including the chance to learn about Council’s new Food Waste Service rolling out to stand-alone households in March next year.

Sustainability Levy Projects

It’s a great time to celebrate sustainability in Lane Cove as we share just some of the amazing achievements our community has helped make possible. Lane Cove Council delivered 45 exciting Sustainability Levy projects in 2024/25. Together we’ve planted native verges, cleared litter from our harbour, launched a Seed Library, and brought new public art to life – all helping make Lane Cove an even more sustainable place to live.

Looking ahead, there’s even more to celebrate. Council has approved 39 new projects for 2025/26, each funded by the Sustainability Levy to support the actions in our Sustainability Action Plan. This year you’ll see a Living Seawall installed in Greenwich, the library’s Sensory and Inclusive Community Collection expanded, upgrades at the Community Nursery, further utilisation of our Lane Cove Performance Space, and a new First Nations Public Mural for the Town Centre.

Council Meeting

Our next Council meeting is on Thursday 23 October at 7:00pm.
