RESOLVED ON THE MOTION OF COUNCILLOR TILBURY, seconded by
COUNCILLOR MCINTOSH,
THAT Council:
1. Raise
concerns about the progression of the Hornsby Transport Oriented

proposal:
1.1 Lacks
certainty that essential local and State infrastructure will be funded and
delivered to support projected growth.
1.2 Would
likely increase landowner uncertainty and speculation, stifling delivery of
housing, in contradiction to Council’s Masterplan and the National
Housing Accord.
1.3 Increases
development potential on State Government land while removing commitments to
provision of community infrastructure and employment opportunities.
1.4 Is
deficient in prioritising affordable housing provision.
2. Endorse
the submission attached to Director’s Report No. PC18/24 highlighting
Council’s concerns.
3. Seek
a meeting between the Mayor, General Manager and Minister for Planning and
Public Spaces to emphasise Council’s concerns and outline opportunities
to improve the Proposal.
