Watch a recording of a special online community event - created by young people for young people - held on Monday 29 November. Lane Cove’s young people were invited to get some fresh takes on improving our democracy in the lead up to the NSW local government and Federal elections!

Thanks to everyone who joined this week’s Lane Cove Council Election Candidates Forum from In the Cove. If you missed it you’ll find the recording here.

A word from the young person in my team - Madeleine Hinchy - on how councils can make a BIG difference in young people’s lives!

What you told me in our community survey directly shaped my policies. Here’s what the community told us.

In the lead up to the Lane Cove Council election, I'll be in the plaza with my team. Meet me and the other candidates on my ticket - Madeleine Hinchy and Sally Kennedy.

On Monday nights at 7:30pm I’ll be online to answer your questions.

Will you join me on Mental Health Day in making a promise to look after yourself? With Sydney’s public health restrictions beginning to lift for fully-vaccinated people on 11 October, it’s a time of transition for the community after an extremely tough couple of months.
