Hornsby Shire Council leveraged Place Score’s liveability data to successfully advocate for and secure millions in state government funding for critical social infrastructure. By using robust, community-derived insights, the council demonstrated clear alignment between local needs and planned growth – particularly in areas targeted for increased housing.
This evidence-based approach not only strengthened their funding submission, but also reinforced their commitment to creating liveable, well-supported communities as housing density increases.
Hornsby has been a Liveability Census partner since 2021, collecting community insights in 2023 and 2025 also. In 2025 the Council committed to aligning Place Score’s 50 liveability metrics with the Community Satisfaction survey ensuring that community outcomes are embedded in strategic planning and delivery priorities.
