Report to Council to exhibit the Glenorie Village Investigation Report and draft Glenorie Village Place Plan

On Wednesday 9 July 2025, Council will consider a report recommending exhibition of the Glenorie Village Investigation Report and Draft Glenorie Village Place Plan. These documents present the results of planning investigations undertaken in Glenorie, consider community feedback to date and outline a proposed vision for the future of Glenorie Village.

The planning report and attachments are available on Council’s website (scroll down to view the Business Paper for 9 July 2025). The meeting can also be viewed online.

Hornsby Shire Council is currently implementing the long-term recommendations of the Hornsby Rural Lands Study 2022 (RLS) by undertaking investigations in and around Glenorie Village. The Hornsby RLS recommends investigating the possibility for housing diversity around Glenorie Village in the form of 5,000-10,000m² environmental living allotments.

As a part of this investigation, Council prepared a draft Opportunities and Constraints Working Paper (draft OCWP) for discussion with the community, which can be viewed in the Document Library.

Targeted community consultation with the Glenorie community was undertaken in November and December 2024 to discuss the initial findings of the draft OCWP as well as the current and future state of Glenorie. The April 2025 Feedback Summary Report, which can be viewed in the Document Library, offers key insights from the community which will assist Council's next steps.

The high response rate and active participation in the first consultation period demonstrates the community's strong interest in planning for the future of Glenorie Village. Council's next steps are to:

• Seek endorsement to exhibit the Glenorie Village Investigation Report and Draft Place Plan at the 9 July 2025 Council Meeting.
• Conduct further community consultation during the exhibition period.
• Following exhibition, present a report on submissions to Council for consideration.
