New name for Rosenthal project

A NEW NAME FOR ROSENTHAL PROJECT

Over 250 names were suggested by the community for a permanent name for the Rosenthal Project. A shortlist has since been developed, and Council will now undertake further community consultation to decide on the most suitable name. A popular suggestion was Cameraygal Park, but this name has already been allocated for a new park at 71 Longueville Road (currently the carpark attached to the Aristocrat building). This site will be converted into a park once the Rosenthal development has been completed. THE SIX SHORTLISTED NAMES INCLUDE: Gamarada Grounds. Gamarada means ‘friendship’ in the Sydney Aboriginal language. When paired together with 'grounds' it becomes the ‘Friendship Grounds.’ Lane Cove Commons. A timeless name that reflects a common place that will be shared amongst the community. Nanganura Common. Nanga Nura means ‘Resting Place’ in the Sydney Aboriginal language. This provides a sense of coming together to rest and relax in the space. Sky Gallery: Lane Cove. This name alludes to an outdoor space that can be both relaxing and engaging. The Canopy: Lane Cove. Lane Cove is synonymous with local bushland and this gives the sense of being above the underground car park and Rosenthal Avenue. Whiteley Muse. Reflective of one of Australia’s most famous painters who grew up in Lane Cove, this name plays homage to the strength of local art while implying that the space can continue to inspire the community. A 6-week community consultation will enable feedback and help inform Council’s decision on the final name before the end of 2018.

Waste management

SINCE JULY 2017, A MINIMUM OF 40% OF LANE COVE’S RESIDENTIAL GARBAGE WASTE HAS BEEN PROCESSED INTO COMPOST, RATHER THAN GOING INTO LANDFILL.

This waste is being processed at the Veolia Mechanical and Biological Treatment (MBT) facility at the Woodlawn eco-precinct near Goulburn, with the compost material being used to rehabilitate the former Woodlawn mine site.

QUICK STATS:

• For the month of July 2018, Lane

Cove achieved a diversion rate of 64%, with 242 tonnes of waste being processed. Through strategies and waste recycling education programs,

Council are working towards a 70% diversion rate by 2022. • During July 2018, 382 tonnes of recyclable containers, paper and cardboard, metals and green waste were also diverted from landfill.

• From January to May 2018, 1040 local residents used the free recycling facility located in Artarmon to safely dispose of problem waste such as paints and electronic goods.
