We have prepared a Review of Environmental Factors (REF) to complete Embellishments – Stage 2 at Hornsby Park. These Stage 2 works will build upon the above works across the park and are a vital next step in the path to realising the Master Plan. The proposed works in Old Mans Valley (OMV) will start to fill in some of the remaining pieces of the park.

The Hornsby Park Embellishment – Stage 2 REF assesses possible impacts the project will have on the environment and details steps to be carried out to avoid, minimise, or mitigate those impacts.

We welcome your feedback on the Hornsby Park Embellishment – Stage 2 REF. Comments close on Friday, 4 July 2025.

Exciting progress at Hornsby Park

Hornsby Park continues to take shape, with major milestones bringing us closer to a vibrant new recreational space for the community.

The Crusher Plant area draws closer to completion and now features picnic tables and barbecues, which will provide a welcoming spot for visitors to relax. Ongoing investment in vegetation management and habitat creation is enhancing the natural landscape, while the construction of the Western Lookout and Boardwalk is almost complete, with tracks and trails leading to Rosemead Road.

Construction of the Southern Lookout viewing platform is well underway. This striking structure, with its 14-metre-high tapered steel columns, 13-metre flight of stairs and 42-metre-long viewing deck, will offer breathtaking panoramic views across the quarry and surrounding bushland. Meanwhile, work is progressing on the North-Western Lookout, adding even more scenic vantage points to the park.

The final stage of the Hornsby Heritage Steps restoration is advancing, ensuring the long-term durability of these historic steps.

In more great news, work will soon begin on a circulation path around the old quarry, designed for walking and cycling. This addition will enhance the enjoyment of Hornsby Park for residents and visitors alike.
