The Employment Land Study has been prepared in support of the Hornsby Local Strategic Planning Statement. The guiding principles for the review of future employment in the Shire include:

• People – diverse opportunities for employment and learning
• Place – attractive places of employment
• Land – adequate, appropriate and long term supply of land
• Built form – appropriate space that meets current and future needs
• Infrastructure – infrastructure that is aligned with current need and future growth
• Economic – a sustainable and productive long-term economy

The Study provides a technical review and evidence base for planning and management of employment lands:

• Outlining the key economic and employment issues and trends affecting the Hornsby local government area in the context of the North District Plan; and
• Directions to support sustainable growth in the Shire that will meet the employment targets for the North District.
