Lane Cove Council is located on the lower North Shore of Sydney, just a bus stop away from the city. The Municipality of Lane Cove is just over 10 square kilometres in size and is bounded by Lane Cove River, the Pacific Highway, Mowbray and Epping Roads. Lane Cove Council employs approximately 300 people across 20+ diverse functions. Council values its workforce and offers staff a true work/life balance. In addition to a great culture, we offer initiatives such as flexible work arrangements; annual performance bonus scheme and salary review; on-site parking; social club; employee wellness program including discounted gym membership; and career development and training. The following guiding principles were adopted to ensure a holistic approach to planning and service development by Council. • Community - To develop a strong inclusive community that promotes access, equity and participation in decision making, working towards a better Lane Cove for everyone. • Creativity - To nurture diverse creative expression in the community and foster innovation to meet the needs of Lane Cove. • Sustainability - To ensure that all decisions consider a balance of economic, environmental, cultural and social elements to enhance the quality of life in Lane Cove. • Best Value - To balance the provision of quality services to the community of Lane Cove with cost, and to always seek continuous improvements to the services provided. Council draws its charter from the Local Government Act 1993, which in summary directs Council to provide, after consultation, adequate, equitable and appropriate services and facilities for the community and to ensure that those services and facilities are managed efficiently and effectively.
