Future Hornsby
Council has developed the Local Strategic Planning Statement (LSPS) which identifies the long term vision for the Shire through reviewing and developing local strategies and plans that shape the way Hornsby Shire will change over time. It identifies Hornsby Shire’s special characteristics and the values that are to be preserved and how change will be managed into the future.
The Local Strategic Planning Statement addresses the themes of liveability, sustainability, productivity and collaboration and reflect the key priorities identified by the community.
