Livability Census Opens
The 2025 Australian Liveability Census has just begun and it’s time to support your home town! Asking ‘How Good is Your Hood?’, the census takes place every two years and is an opportunity to celebrate Lane Cove for all it is!
Lane Cove is proud to be consistently one of the most liveable local government areas in the nation- in 2023 it was first in NSW and second in the country, in 2021 we were equal first in the country. We are hoping Lane Cove will continue with these great results in this year’s survey and I encourage everyone to share support for your neighbourhood! Take the Survey.
I hope to see you out and about this month enjoying all Lane Cove has to offer. I can’t wait to launch the Chatty Chairs program at Lane Cove Library and Lane Cove Plaza on Friday 11 April, and extend an invitation for all to join the ANZAC Day Service in collaboration with the Lane Cove RSL sub-Branch on Friday 25 April.

Recycle, Re-Use, Re-Home Event Does Tonnes of Good
Feburary’s ‘Recycle, Re-Use, Re-Home’ event was a resounding success with over 2,000 kilograms of items collected, including clothing, furniture, and household goods, all destined for new lives instead of landfills.
The event allowed residents to responsibly recycle and rehome various household items, including bicycles, e-bikes, scooters, textiles, bric-a-brac, and soft plastics.
This event embodied Lane Cove’s commitment to reducing environmental impact and promoting a circular economy.
Future similar events are in the works, but until then residents can keep up the great work by utilising the North Shore Community Recycling Centre (CRC), Recycling Trailer at The Canopy and the HomeCycle service.
