Biodiversity Conservation 

Hornsby ESD Study (1999)
In 1999, Landcom engaged the Total Environment Centre (TEC) to independently investigate the development potential and ecological impacts of the proposed Crown Lands development in Hornsby.

The Hornsby ESD Study area consisted of patches of vacant Crown land in Berowra Heights, Berowra, Hornsby Heights and Asquith with the majority being on the northern side of Berowra Heights adjoining Crown-owned open space and Aboriginal lands which adjoin Muogamarra Nature Reserve (NR) to the north. All other sites adjoin Berowra Valley Regional Park (RP) except Stokes Road Asquith which adjoins Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park (NP) to the east.

Following TEC’s investigations and recommendations, the Hornsby study area was not developed.
