Read the Mayor’s September Message
Published on 01 September 2025
This September, the Lane Cove Festival will come alive with over 50 events, thanks to a new partnership with the Sydney Fringe Festival, bringing even more circus, music, theatre, dance, and comedy to our community. From a spectacular free launch night on Friday 5 September at The Canopy to performances, music, and community activations across Lane Cove all month long, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. See you there!
Council Meeting
Our next Council meeting is on Thursday 18 September at 7:00pm. We share a summary of outcomes the week following the meeting on our website.
Council Presents $579,000 in Support to Local Community Organisations
Council celebrated local community spirit at the annual Community Assistance Grants Presentation evening last month. This financial year, $579,000 in grants and in-kind support was awarded to 16 community organisations through the Community Assistance Grants, Cultural Venue Hire Subsidy Grants, and other services.
The evening provided an important opportunity for each organisation to share snapshots of their diverse initiatives, spanning music, sport, arts, youth programs, sustainability, and social services.
Held during Local Government Week, the evening also highlighted the strong partnership between Council and community groups.
Outdoor Pool Open All Day this September at Lane Cove Aquatic Centre
Visitors to the Lane Cove Aquatic Centre’s outdoor 50m pool can now enjoy full daytime opening hours throughout September. The Lane Cove Aquatic Centre outdoor 50m pool has historically closed between 10:00am and 3:00pm during the winter period (May – October) with BlueFit and Council working together to extend the opening hours from 1 September.
From Monday 1 September the outdoor pool will be open:
Weekdays: 5:30am–9:00pm
Weekends: 6:00am–8:00pm
This initiative is part of Council’s broader commitment to improving community access and equity at the Centre. The community is being invited to make the most of this opportunity which will help shape the future winter pool schedule.
Regular entry fees apply. For more information, visit lanecoveaquatic.com.au or contact Lane Cove Council on 9911 3555
