Hornsby Council is busy identifying if there are potential heritage items in the remote, river and rural areas of Hornsby Shire. They've hired a professional Heritage Consultant who would appreciate the benefit of your local knowledge in identifying places that demonstrate the heritage themes of Hornsby Shire in these areas. The work is part of Hornsby's Comprehensive Heritage Study. This could include early transport systems, evidence of early industries including agriculture, evidence of early ways of life including settlement, education, recreation, work, charity, health and disability, lifestyle, immigration, environmental management and governing. It is important to note that the report will not include Aboriginal heritage because other consultants are working for Council in that area. The Civic Trust executive has already submitted feedback to Council in an earlier phase, and the consultant would be grateful if you would nominate places for further investigation in Hornsby’s remote, river and rural areas. Please take note that this should exclude the suburban areas from Hornsby to North Epping, but could include bushland places even within those suburbs.

The consultant is also working for Council to investigate potential heritage items built from 1940 onwards, across the whole of Hornsby Shire, including suburban space. If you have suggestions for places with structures built after 1940 that may have heritage significance, he would be very interested in your advice. This will include housing, community buildings, commercial buildings and infrastructure.
