- Work will soon begin to transform Hornsby Quarry from an abandoned industrial site into a recreational park like nothing else in the region. This short video explains what is happening and gives a unique insight into the quarry on Hornsby's doorstep.

ACTUALLY IT'S QUITE PRETTY AS IT IS.
Quarries are incredibly dangerous and the lagoon water is seriously harmful to skin and animals
@@nLTuRbaN really the water is really bad for your skin and i go to one literally 8 minutes to my house and swim in
@@nLTuRbaN "lagoon" water? Is that a scientific term? How is it dangerous?It's not acidic, it's water, aka groundwater, spring water, well water.
Honestly I really liked the quarry as it was, it was a beautiful view.
Making it a flat concrete jungle takes out its whole appeal,
but I suppose it wasn't really a safe place for tourists to go in terms of how easy it could be to fall off into the quarry.
Got clickbaited from the fkn government
☞ Exactly
The video tittle says "watch transform", but 3 and a half minutes later same hole!!! YOU SHOWED NOTHING!!!
Westleigh 22 millions dumped by developers drainage sewer issues
Love your work on the MTB Trails, visionary. Looking forward to the trails reopening soon.
Interesting, if it's supposed to be complete by the end of 2018 (it's now August, 2018), it would be good to see an update.
hahah im watching in 2019 and still nothing has happened.
Its filled with sandstone and looks ugly
Here we are in 2024 and its still a hole with sand in it...
Should have made it into a lake, you can never have enough water. You'll regret it later.
Leave it alone and nature will fix it.
Just turn it into a dump, charge other cities to use it as well. When it's fillrd collect the methane gas and run a electric generator station. Sell that back to the grid and just land Scape the rest into a nature park
Genius!!!
Regardless of who’s left footing the bill for this project, I believe it will be absolutely wonderful for the local area residents and for tourism. I’ve seen this quarry back in the late 90’s, so it would be a shame if something wasn’t done to make it into something useful for everyone.
Cool place for the local fauna to hea, grow and nest too!
This quarry supplied stone for railway ballast (as did another little known quarry at Chatswood). Hornsby is a major intersection of North, North Shore, and Northern lines (towards Queensland)
It was a very nice walking place as well as an off road bike track.
I hope they didn't waste money draining before filling.. if they filled with the water in, the water would drain like if you step into an overfilled bath..
The Hornsby Council that made this project:
1. Put in a Hedge Maze in at a time of water restrictions - the hedge died down and vandals removed the rest of the probably $100,000 plus cost.
2. Developed a multi million $ Equestrian centre in an area where there was 4 people who use it. The 4 people? Included 2 daughters of one of the Council members.
3. Developed a modern jetty complex in a little used area.. Who used it - yep- Council members had their boats tied up there.
Meanwhile a pedestrian over bridge that was VERY old - think 1930's with time dessicated roof panels falling on peoples heads and sewerage backup down some of the laneways went unfixed.
I thought Bombo and Martins Creek near Dungog provided the railway ballast.
Sure would like to see the water sample results...... 💹📈📉
My question is how contaminant is that water?
Flooded quarries are so damn terrifying, I don't know how people can even go near these things
good fishing
Yea and there very dangerous places to swim.
Lol so was the fish ponds before they silted up.
better watch for mirelurks when its drained
WE DONT WANT A PARK
You guys rock. A park will be a massive asset for the community.
Love the ROCK word about an OLD QUARRY site. Was it a pun ?
It is now :). I'll go for a subconscious pun.
I have been along pennant hills road it is always blocked up with traffic
Fuckin agree mate pennant hills road is just bullshit on Friday’s or any day
A wonderful "gift".
What a great project, I wish they do more of these projects in QLD, we have plenty of quarries have been abandoned for decades which could turn into a natural park instead.
This is NSW
Why don't they turn them into landfills/dumps? Seems like every dump I have seen is close to a river or lake.
Hi Hornsby Council, former Cherrybrook Resident here.
How deep is the Quarry and would the council be interested in it being filmed and a basic diving map developed?
Regards,
Daniel.
How many bodies turn up in the pond?
I would have stabilized it and made a giant dome over it and turned it into a botanical garden or park with housing.
so up dates?
Why does Australia have names from the UK? I keep thinking there talking about where I live loo
What happened to all of the unused material from the quarry??? Do they compress it into those large black \grey blocks that resemble charcoal maybe.?? If so what do they do with those??
LLIP DER . It was a blue metal aggregate mine which is used as road base and in concrete.
So if you look on google maps still a hole in the ground no changes
Whats the latest update on the MTB Trails??
Hi Julian, nothing much to report at this stage. The plan is for them to be reopened in the next month or two.

The trails are now all open. I rode it yesterday. 2 tunnels under the road allow access to all areas of the trails. This keeps the bikes seperate from the trucks carrying the rock from the north connex tunnel to the quarry. We often bash the politicians (and rightly so) but this time they've really looked after us.
I wonder what happened to the small family cemetery and the site of the first house in the area, hopefully they will be preserved
as of right now its still there, just visited it yesterday
What rock was quarried here and what years was it active? Thank you.
Most of my life up to 1990 it's Trachyte commonly called blue metal. Grand father carted it to fill the valley for the great Northern Railway you can see it today and reflect it was built with horse and cart.
Beautiful park already. It's a shame ..but understandable to fix it before someone falls over the side. Make it beautiful again.
the second guy looks like he'd be happy to take candy from strangers.
Good ol' Matt keen 😂
Quite a transformation. Unrecognisable.
So are they going to make it into a swimming hole or what? It's a shame they don't do that with more flooded out quarries.
Hot spot for cliff jumpers. Like the cuarry in america.
Watch the quarry transform.... in some other video because it didn't happen here.
Way to fuck up my hidden swimming hole thanks guys. As long as I can swim and not pay I'm good.
turn it into a SCUBA DIVING lake.
Why was the council forced to buy a site left in this derelict and dangerous state from a mining business? Why are ratepayers having to pay the shortfall? Why aren’t there laws In place to force landowners to do the right thing and not shaft their environmental neglect onto tax and rate payers? I think that’s called individualising the gains and socialising the losses. Notwithstanding these issues the council is doing s good job.
Consulting with the community, how did that go? As normal, you get what we want you to have would be my guess.
Clickbait, nothing transforms, just a bunch of talk. Any update on this project
johnny30806 they have done a lot and it's a very busy site, trucks constantly coming and going
@@clairdelrey6260 even people died working there.
I would’ve suggested making a lake out of it...
CUTTERS !
Sooooo, two years later.................................................. has it transformed yet???
Hey, isn’t this the quarry in the movie It?
Nah mate
Huh. I live nearby Hornsby and I had no idea about this quarry until just now. Cool.
Misleading title :( I wanted to see it transform
WHERE""??? WHAT STATE"? WHAT COUNTY??????
Hi Terry, it's in Hornsby Shire in New South Wales (Australia, if you're an international viewer).
Straya
What did they mine?
Blue metal, aka gravel, for construction
Sydney ,Australia.
Uhm , What Happened ?
I thought Phillip Raddock was the mayor?
He still is.
Wow, I didnt see any transformation.
Should name it “HQ Park” when complete
What a great place and opportunity to hide the bodies.
Its 2021
It's 2022
That is great.
Swim in it. Kinda dangerous though as there can be rocks, metal, and re-bar sticking up to kill ya on under the deep ass water.
See nobody cares about the farmers. It’s not rocket science, water, pipe pump. No that’s to hard we will just fill it in for $50 per ton and $350. Make a profit and book the public for parking.
Basketball courts!
They are going to spend hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars to apparently fix this old site and I bet when it's finished you won't even be able to get to the waters edge let alone swim in it due to some do gooding hipster who happens to sit on the board in the council claiming that it's too dangerous.
Nah it's cost 25 million and is sports fields.
You people, stop being so rude! Do you even know how much effort and danger these contruction workers put into this? If you aren't in Hornsby, stay out of this!
Why the shit did the taxpayers get saddled with that old mine???
Miners strip out what they need, make their profits, then just walk away....smh.
I didn't see any transformation.
Leave the water at the bottom, make roads along the edges and build houses into the rockwalls, done.
what a waste. That would be great for fishing/swimming/rock climbing courses/repelling/etc just as it is now. Beautiful rock layers exposed with color. Government will f up anything
So CSR Limited made a fortune mining it and walked away with pockets of cash, and we the taxpayer foot the bill to fill it ($52 million) and pay tolls on the roads where the dirt came from and get hit twice. Got it.
WTF? Why the hell is this in my recommended videos?
Click bait it didn't transcend to anything . .........yet
Fkn hell leave it
Condo with underground parking should have been built on site.
Watch what? Nothing changed. I will claim my 3:26 from your soul.
Clickbait
please fucking don't
So there is nothing to "watch" it transform... misleading title. Was expecting to watch some time-compressed video of the hole getting filled, not just some non-working talkers talk and talk. What a waste of 3 minutes and nothing to see.
Two thumbs down, never saw the transformation. Talk is easy
It didnt transform at all. Just talk like most in politics.
Funny it didn’t change 1 bit. Another click bait travesty!
Clickbait sucks. Change title.
Lying video. Doesn't show any transformation. Only a bunch of people talking about what they want to do.
bla bla bla and more bla bla bla
Didn't see a change. 👎👎👎👎👎
I'm sorry to sound down on your quarry thing. But for heaven's sake list your video better. Watch the quarry transform indicates a time-lapse or similar video. This is just a advert for what you lot have sat down and planned. Rubbish.
Total con job by LNP $25 million for spoil they would otherwise have to pay for dumping another LNP con.
