Opportunities for young people to live, study and enjoy life in Hornsby Shire, the chance for people to walk and cycle around the area, and the space for diverse community voices to be heard are just some of the ways that Hornsby Shire Council will work to create a socially sustainable Shire.

These initiatives and more are outlined in the draft Hornsby Shire Social Plan, adopted at last night’s Council meeting for public exhibition.

In preparing the draft Social Plan, Council undertook extensive community engagement, including community forums, pop-ups and an online survey, to understand the most significant social needs and issues facing residents. Affordable housing, community connection and availability of open space were identified as some of the greatest needs.
