Personalised Engraved Pavers: Make You and Your Family a Permanent Part of Glenorie History

 

As part of our fund-raising activities for the Ray Whiteman Heritage Fence, the Glenorie Progress Association (GPA) is offering Glenorie residents the opportunity to have your names engraved in Pavers and permanently laid in a path in the Park in front of the Glenorie Memorial Hall, opposite Woolworths on Old Northern Road. 

The Pavers will be laid during the planned Hornsby Shire Council upgrade of the Glenorie Memorial Hall. The exact layout will be dependent upon how many Engraved Pavers are ordered. That said, we’re hoping that the vast majority of Glenorie Residents will participate in this once in a lifetime opportunity for you, your family and the Community to become a permanent part of Glenorie History.

Both a Single and Double Paver are being offered, examples of which are shown below. Only individuals and family names will be accepted, no corporates. A Donation of $100-or more- will secure you a Single Paver and $180- or more- a Double Paver. 

A Single Paver incorporates a Maximum of 3 lines, 16 characters per line and a Double Paver, a Maximum of 6 lines, 14 characters per line.

Please send any questions to pavers@glenorieprogress.org.au

The Future of Glenorie Investigations

Council is exhibiting a Draft Opportunity and Constraints Working Paper to guide planning for the future of Glenorie. It follows Council's resolution to implement the recommendations of the Hornsby Rural Lands Study 2022 (Hornsby RLS). 

In 2023 Council finalised the agritourism and Rural Lands Planning Proposal to implement short term recommendations of the Hornsby RLS. We are commencing work on the long term recommendations, begining with Glenorie. 

The Hornsby RLS recommends investigating the possibility for housing diversity around Glenorie Village in the form of 5,000-10,000m² environmental living allotments.

We encourage you to read the Working Paper, complete the Survey or attend the upcoming Community Feedback Session at Glenorie RSL Club. Council is eager to speak with local Glenorie residents, landowners and community groups about the future of the Village.

Glenorie Memorial Hall Park & Fence

Keeping our scared site for Glenorie ANZAC Memorial accessible, fit for purpose and ready for each ANZAC Dawn Service is a major goal of the GPA. We are working with Glenorie RSL Sub Branch, the Glenorie Memorial Hall Committee, Hornsby Council and the wider community to ensure the correct barriers are in place, that are also sympathetic to site and purpose.

Glenorie Village Parking Plan

You need only attend the vicinity of Glenorie Public School at drop off or pick up time or during an event to see the dangers posed to children and families due to a lack of parking and the width of Old Northern Road. Glenorie Park’s gravel and narrow parking area is always full, cars are parked from the school for up to 100m past the school. In fact, the entirety of Glenorie’s parking capacity is becoming more congested.

Glenorie Service Station Review

Convenience returns to Glenorie. You might not need to travel all the way to Dural to fuel up the car or get a tin of petrol for your mower if Mr and Mrs Shore’s application for a service station and 12 industrial units is successful. Glenorie has missed the convenience of a local service station for many years. The plans submitted include 12 industrial units which should also encourage further local business and employment opportunities.

Glenorie Public Spaces

While Glenorie boasts some of the most pristine bushland in Sydney and wide open spaces, it offers little in the way of publicly accessible walk ways and bush corridors. A mother who wants to take their child for a decent walk in a stroller or pram is limited to estate streets or rugged tracks on the side of dangerous roads such as Cattai Ridge Road. Glenorie needs a plan to improve accessibility of its wonderful natural surrounds so that the wider community can also benefit.
