New Quarterly Publication Brings Council News and Updates to All Residents of Hornsby Shire

Hornsby Shire Council has begun delivery of the first edition of a new, free publication of council news to all residents of the Local Government Area (LGA) — furthering its commitment to keeping the community updated on Council services and initiatives.

Titled ‘Our Council’, the publication is to be delivered on a quarterly basis directly to mailboxes throughout Hornsby Shire and includes updates on major projects, information on services, local history and sustainability along with contact information for the Shire’s Mayor and each of its nine councillors.

Hornsby Shire Mayor Philip Ruddock AO says the publication demonstrates Council’s want to ensure that all residents of the Shire feel informed and updated on Council projects, regardless of whether they are active users of online platforms.

“To regular users of the web and digital devices, receiving a printed publication in the mail might seem like a hark back to the past. But as a diverse and inclusive community, it’s important that Council news and information reaches all residents, not just those who frequently use social media,” said Mayor Ruddock.

“Now more so than ever, we can appreciate that residents of the Shire expect to be kept up to date on exactly how their rates are being spent and what we are doing to deliver timely and effective projects and services.

We hope that this publication will not only make residents feel informed but also empowered to have their say and help us shape the future of our Shire.”

The first edition of the publication includes updates on Council’s flagship projects at Hornsby Park and Westleigh Park, details the latest in waste and recycling news, explains Council’s efforts in mitigating significant road damage over the previous years and maps recent upgrades and new builds delivered for the community.
