Local Environment Plan 1994


The Hornsby Shire Local Environmental Plan (HSLEP) 1994 commenced on 22 July 1994. The HSLEP divides the Shire into eight zoning classifications:

Zone Area (km2) % of Shire
unzoned (waterway) 47.21 9.3
Rural 74.2 14.6
Residential 47.8 9.4
Business 1.32 0.3
Industrial 1.7 0.3
Special Uses 15.5 3.1
Open space 24.6 4.8
Environmental Protection 73.1 14.4
National Park 223.3 43.9
Total 508.7 100

Each of the Zoning classifications is divided into sub-zones which specify the land uses which are permissible. For example, the residential areas are zoned Low, Medium, Medium-High and High Density which distinguishes the different intensity of development permissible.
