At its meeting last night, Hornsby Shire Council progressed plans in the delivery of its major project at Hornsby Park, making decisions around tenders received for Stage One.
Since the site was handed back from NorthConnex in late 2019, we have been working hard behind the scenes to re-shape and stabilise it to make it safe for the many different activities planned for the new parkland. We have been building access tracks, a drainage system and retaining walls. We have also been working to stabilise the quarry walls, and work to regenerate the site has also commenced.
Following a call for tenders earlier this year, Councillors resolved to progress tenders for the works around the Crusher Plant as well as tracks, trails and lookouts, and to continue to pursue opportunities for the skywalk and cable bridge within its available funds. These works, when complete, will allow the community and visitors to enjoy the park.
“Delivering this important project within a financially responsible framework is critical. We will continue to work with staff and negotiate with suppliers to deliver the best value solutions for our community,” said Hornsby Shire Mayor, Philip Ruddock AO.
