The Municipality of Lane Cove is a local government area located in the south-west corner of the north shore of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. The administrative seat of Lane Cove is located about 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) north-west of the Sydney central business district. On the western and southern borders is the Lane Cove River with the Ryde and Hunter's Hill, across the river on the western and southern banks respectively. To the north is the Willoughby and to the east is North Sydney.
The Mayor of the Lane Cove Municipal Council is Cr. David Brooks-Horn, a member of the Liberal Party.
A 2015 review of local government boundaries by the NSW Government Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal recommended that the Municipality of Lane Cove merge with the councils across the river. The government proposed a merger of the Hunter's Hill, Lane Cove and Ryde Councils to form a new council with an area of 57 square kilometres (22 sq mi) and support a population of approximately 164,000. The outcome of an independent review is expected by mid–2016. However, it is generally believed that the Lane Cove Council would be better served by merging with the councils that are on the same Peninsula that is North Sydney Council, the City of Willoughby and Municipality of Mosman, as it shares no land borders with Hunters Hill and Ryde Councils.
