Hornsby Council is committed to building an even stronger future for the Shire and its residents. Council aims to do this by creating more employment opportunities and attracting new businesses to the area.
As the northern gateway to Sydney, Hornsby is ideally placed to provide additional investment growth opportunities in the Sydney region.
Conveniently located along major metropolitan transport corridors, such as the F3 freeway and the northern rail line, Hornsby offers employers excellent access to a large labour force from across Sydney and the Central Coast as well as a highly skilled local labour force.
Hornsby Shire is a great place to work and live. It features diverse areas reflecting urban, rural, bushland and river settings.
Known as the Bushland Shire, Council has the special responsibility to conserve the unique character of the area while meeting the needs of residents today and in years to come.
Regardless of the size of business, Hornsby Council wants to make the Shire an investment opportunity of choice.
