Every year, Council publishes exactly how it plans to spend public money – and this year is no different. Your rates fund the full breadth of what makes Lane Cove the most liveable community in Australia according to the Liveability Census 2025: open spaces maintained to a high standard, a well-resourced library and aquatic centre, reliable waste and cleansing services, safe roads and footpaths, environmental programs, and the planning and compliance services that protect the character of our neighbourhoods.
A Closer Look at the Year Ahead
On top of the day-to-day, our 2026/27 Delivery Program reflects the priorities you've told us matter most – backed by a $15.5 million capital investment program, with $4.3 million secured in external grants. That funding is being put to work delivering real, visible improvements across the LGA: upgraded facilities, greener streetscapes, more inclusive spaces, and infrastructure built to last. Every dollar is allocated with long-term community benefit in mind, ensuring Lane Cove continues to be a place people are proud to call home. See some highlights opposite.
