Our sustainability efforts at Lane Cove Council have been recognised at this week’s Local Government NSW Excellence in Environment Awards where Lane Cove took out three Awards, including the prestigious Local Sustainability Award.

Held annually, the Excellence in the Environment Awards recognise outstanding achievements by NSW local government in managing and protecting the environment.

This year, Lane Cove Council was thrilled to be awarded:

  • Category winner for the Towards Net Zero Emissions Award for our programs to reduce emissions
  • Winner of the Innovation in Planning Policies and Decision-Making Award for our sustainability review of our DCP
  • Overall winner of the Local Sustainability Award for our work in implementing sustainability and striving for a sustainable future for our community.

Local Government NSW (LGNSW) President Cr Darriea Turley AM congratulated all the winners and said this year’s submissions were exceptional.
