OUR FRAMEWORK

Our

framework

Under the Integrated Planning and Reporting framework, all councils are required to deliver a suite of strategic documents supporting a holistic approach to planning for the future.

Council’s supporting strategic documents are developed with input from the community, are endorsed by elected members and provide an important link between the Delivery Program and achievement of the outcomes in the Community Strategic Plan.

Progress on our

Local Strategic Planning Statement

In March 2020, Council finalised the Local Strategic Planning Statement (LSPS) that sets out a 20-year vision for land use; the special character and values that are to be preserved; shared community values; and how Hornsby Shire Council will manage growth and change. It examines how expected changes in our population over the next 20 years will influence how we provide for our community.

Council committed to an ambitious and comprehensive list of LSPS Actions under the themes of Liveable, Sustainable, Productive and Collaborative. Many Actions were identified by Council in response to feedback received through community consultation in 2018 for the Community Strategic Plan, Your Vision | Your Future 2018-2028.

The past 12 months have seen Council implement several Actions from the LSPS including adoption of the following strategies:

„ Hornsby Local Housing Strategy 2020 (Liveability Action 16) „ Sustainable Hornsby 2040 Strategy (Sustainability Action 2) „ Biodiversity Conservation Strategy (Sustainability Action 5) „ Urban Forest Strategy (Sustainability Action 7) „ Water Sensitive Hornsby Strategy (Sustainability Action 4) „ Climate Wise Hornsby Plan (Sustainability Action 17) „ Economic Development and Tourism Strategy (Productive Action 4) „ Play Plan (Sustainability Action 15) „ Employment Land Study (Productive Action 3) „ Seniors Housing Demand and Supply Review (component of Liveability Action 16) „ Community and Cultural Facilities Strategic Plan (Liveability Action 8).
