Hornsby, Administrative division in New South Wales, Australia
Hornsby Shire Council manages an extensive area that includes residential neighborhoods, business districts, and natural reserves within New South Wales.
The establishment of Hornsby Shire in March 1906 marked the beginning of formal local governance, with the first council elections held in November that year.
The administrative region encompasses traditional territories of the Darug and GuriNgai people, maintaining connections to Indigenous Australian heritage through community programs.
Residents access council services through the Hornsby Library customer service center, which operates Monday through Friday from 10 AM to 5 PM.
The council structure includes ten local representatives, with one popularly elected mayor and nine councillors who make decisions for the community.
