Councils on Sydney's North Shore want smart glasses banned from indoor public facilities such as pools, libraries and community centres. North Sydney and Mosman councils have asked for the ban and for signage to be installed. Willoughby Council will debate a similar motion on Monday evening. City of Sydney and Inner West Council already have such bans. Mosman has also asked staff to examine restricting use at beaches, parks and foreshore areas. Mayor Anne-Marie Kimber said enforcement may be difficult but the idea is worth examining as a deterrent.

In Mosman, a five-bedroom home at 36 Medusa Street passed in at $9.85 million after only one registered party failed to bid. In Huntleys Cove, a downsizer paid $1.97 million for a ground floor apartment, $20,000 above reserve.
