Inner North – District Planning

24 June 2021 6-9pm

The ACT government is undertaking a review and reform of the ACT planning system and invites you to come and have your say on what you value about your district of Inner North.

Your input will inform future planning considerations of what is important to you.

For more details, see yoursayconversations.act.gov.au/act-planning-system-review-and-reform/inner-north-district-planning


Light Up Lyneham 2021

Saturday 24 July, 4-8pm

Get your lanterns, gloves, beanies and scarves ready for another great Light Up Lyneham.

Follow the brilliantly-lit Mountain Lion on the Lantern Walk from Lyneham Shops around the Wetlands and back. See the breathtaking displays around the wetlands. Enjoy some fantastic music along the way and at the shops. Check out the great stalls from local organisations and businesses.

Volunteeers needed. We need a large pool of volunteers on the night to help make this happen. If you’d like to help out in any way, please get in touch by email (below).


Working Bees: Keeping Your Volunteers Safe on the Day | Churches of Christ Insurance

        Working Bees        

Join the Lyneham Commons group at their working bee on the first Sunday of each month. See their Facebook page for details.

For other working bee opportunities, check the Banksia St Wetlands group Facebook page.


Gazebo and table for loan     

If you’re holding a social or community event and need an 3mx3m portable gazebo or 2m long folding table, LCA now have them for short-term loan to members.

Just contact us with your dates. To avoid disappointment it’s probably best to arrange a week or two in advance. There is no charge but a refundable bond will be required.


New Members

We love new members, and want even more!

So we’re asking you to encourage your friends and neighbours to join.

The more members we have, the more support we can provide each other and the more attention we can get from our local politicians.

Joining is free and open to everyone over 16 years of age, living in Lyneham or north O’Connor. Join online at lyneham.org.au/join.


You can always email us at contact@lyneham.org.au or go to our Facebook page.

We look forward to seeing you around the suburb some day soon!

Cheers
The LCA Committee
