| Mayor’s messageThis
month is Plastic Free July, when we focus on taking action to reduce
plastic waste. The people of Hornsby Shire are passionate about
preserving our precious environment, and Council is committed to
supporting this. We’re hosting events to inspire you to reduce your use
of plastic and live more sustainably. From online webinars to in-person
workshops, there’s something for everyone. If you’re passionate about
making a difference, why not sign up to become a Waste Warrior as part
of our new volunteer program? Warren Waddell

area draws closer to completion and now features picnic tables and
barbecues while, construction of the Southern Lookout viewing platform
is well underway. The
construction of the Western Lookout and boardwalk is almost complete,
