Hornsby Play Plan - Community Survey
Hornsby Shire Council is preparing a Play Plan to guide the planning, design, management and maintenance in playgrounds and other play opportunities across the Hornsby Shire over the next 10 years. Play is essential for people of all ages. It helps adults and children to build new skills, socialise, get active and have fun!
As part of preparing the Play Plan the community is being surveyed to establish needs, preferences and future aspirations for public play facilities. This project forms part of Council’s Local Strategic Planning Statement.
The survey closed on Monday 27 May, 2019.
Waste Matters - Council's Waste Strategy
Council is preparing a new Waste Strategy to assist in guiding the future direction of waste management in the Hornsby Shire.

You can get involved and have your say on the waste services we provide and our new Waste Strategy. We held a number of Waste Matters Pop-up Stalls in early August 2018 from which we received great feedback from the community.
In September/October 2018,we ran an online survey for the broader community to have their say. We received over 1200 responses which will be analysed and the findings will be prepared into a report.
