Bridget Kennedy, independent councillor for Lane Cove Council

 

For a Lane Cove that’s leafy, liveable and connected

 

Bridget became a Lane Cove Councillor in January 2022.

As a true community-focused independent, Bridget is focused on empowering the local community and representing the Lane Cove people’s voices both at council and beyond.

Formal politics is a new thing for Bridget, but she has strong roots in the community. Bridget was awarded the 2018 Lane Cove Citizen of the Year award for her community service.

She’s a small business owner and on a number of boards. She’s also a founding member of the Repair Cafe Sydney North, and instigator and co-founder of the Sydney Edible Garden Trail and The Sydney Library of Things.

Rubbish - it’s not what you think it is!

I was honoured to be invited to speak at the Lane Cove Historical Society at their AGM about one of my favourite topics - WASTE! Ok, I get that it’s probably a bit of a daggy subject to many but I’m passionate about ways in which we can see waste as resource. We often throw out SO MANY things that have value, including food and organic waste. Waste is something that connects us all!
