Council is seeking to revitalise the Hornsby Town Centre to make it a more liveable, green, and accessible centre for the community. The aim is to strengthen the economic, employment and housing capacities of the Town Centre and improve its public domain, liveability, accessibility, safety, environmental sustainability and visual appeal through quality design and landscape. Status update The Hornsby Town Centre project is being undertaken in two stages: Stage 1 – Developing a draft vision statement and guiding principles Stage 2 – Comprehensive Hornsby Town Centre Review. Council is carefully working through our draft master planning process and traffic and transport analysis so that the revitalisation can be successfully achieved and meets the vision and principles outlined in Council’s Local Strategic Planning Statement. Different apartment building heights and densities and various workplace floorspace sizes are being evaluated to help meet the future housing and employment needs of Hornsby Town Centre. The required traffic and transport analysis is at the stage of testing development scenarios and modelling the required traffic interventions. The analysis should be completed by the end of the year. Further consultation is being undertaken with State Government agencies, including the Department of Planning, Industry and Environment and Transport for NSW. Following the Local Government Elections, the new Council will be briefed on the Hornsby Town Centre Review and the results of the traffic and transport analysis. Council can then put the draft concepts on public exhibition and seek community and stakeholder feedback.
