How we deliver services

Hornsby Shire Council delivers many services across the Hornsby Shire local government area. Services range from waste services to community development – a snapshot of services undertaken by each directorate is shown in the table to the right. Administration of service delivery is led by the General Manager, with four Directors guiding delivery through 19 Branch Managers. Overall, Council employs 468 employees (permanent/temporary/full time and part time) – including casual roles this is increased to 681. Forty-four per cent of staff live in the Hornsby Shire. (As at 4 March 2022)

Delivery of services may be impacted by labour and supply shortages and cost increases requiring reprioritisation and will be the subject of quarterly review. Steven Head GENERAL MANAGER
