A big shout out to all the people who told us what were the pressing social issues or needs for them during the community engagement from Wednesday 24 January to Sunday 24 March 2024.

There were 870 surveys completed and over 260 people attended interviews, community forums and pop-ups.

The results for the community engagement will be used in the preparation of the draft Hornsby Shire Social Plan. Once it's drafted, there will be another opportunity for everyone to provide feedback.

Follow this project page or subscribe to the newsletter (scroll to the bottom of this page) to hear when the draft Plan goes on public Exhibition.

With our diverse communities across Hornsby Shire – from suburban centres to rural and riverside villages – Hornsby Shire is a place that offers unique appeal and character.

Our community is growing and changing. Hornsby Shire’s first people are the Darug and GuriNgai peoples who have intrinsic connections and continuing relationships to Country. The Hornsby Shire community is living longer, we’re more culturally and linguistically diverse than ever, and we’re living in all types of housing.

With your input, We are developing a 10-year Social Plan that aims to identify and address social needs and issues in the Shire. The plan will seek to support social cohesion, encourage community connectedness, resilience and wellbeing. The more insights we gather from our entire community, the more we can make a relevant, beneficial Social Plan for everyone.

What we're hearing

We hit the streets of Hornsby Mall and held a youth pop-up at Hornsby Library to hear your ideas for Hornsby Shire’s Social Plan.

Here’s what some of the attendees had to say.

We’d love to hear your ideas and feedback on social needs, issues and aspirations to support the development of the Social Plan and what’s important to you – as part of a socially sustainable Hornsby.
