Local planning and development issues are front and centre in “The Post – Edition 83 September 2026”, with a major victory for Hornsby residents after the Sydney North Planning Panel unanimously rejected a controversial seven-storey apartment proposal on Forbes Street. Regional growth is also a key focus as Willoughby City Council launches its Chatswood 2060 milestone master plan to guide the area’s development over the next 35 years, while Lane Cove grapples with the environmental impact and energy demands of expanding data centres. Furthermore, this edition sheds light on the exploitation of the Private Collect child support system as a form of financial abuse in domestic violence cases.
The remainder of the month is packed with local milestones and community spirit, notably celebrating the official six-year anniversary of the publication itself. Readers can catch up on the incredible success of the Community Bank Lindfield’s Community Pitch event, which raised $87,900 for ten grassroots organisations across the North Shore. From spotlighting the 2026 Westfield Local Heroes finalists to previewing Dementia Action Week and the upcoming Ku-ring-gai Local Business Expo on 19 September, there are plenty of ways to stay connected. Grab your calendar, jot down these key dates, and enjoy everything this season has to offer.
Sit back, relax, and enjoy this edition!
