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.

The video tittle says "watch transform", but 3 and a half minutes later same hole!!! YOU SHOWED NOTHING!!!

ACTUALLY IT'S QUITE PRETTY AS IT IS.

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.

Got clickbaited from the fkn government

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.

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.

Love your work on the MTB Trails, visionary. Looking forward to the trails reopening soon.

Should have made it into a lake, you can never have enough water. You'll regret it later.

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

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

Sure would like to see the water sample results...... 💹📈📉

better watch for mirelurks when its drained

Leave it alone and nature will fix it.

Why don't they turn them into landfills/dumps? Seems like every dump I have seen is close to a river or lake.

I would have stabilized it and made a giant dome over it and turned it into a botanical garden or park with housing.

I have been along pennant hills road it is always blocked up with traffic

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.

You guys rock. A park will be a massive asset for the community.

I wonder what happened to the small family cemetery and the site of the first house in the area, hopefully they will be preserved

A wonderful "gift".

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.

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??

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.

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.

Watch the quarry transform.... in some other video because it didn't happen here.

Clickbait, nothing transforms, just a bunch of talk. Any update on this project

How many bodies turn up in the pond?

Hot spot for cliff jumpers. Like the cuarry in america.

WE DONT WANT A PARK

Beautiful park already. It's a shame ..but understandable to fix it before someone falls over the side. Make it beautiful again.

Way to fuck up my hidden swimming hole thanks guys. As long as I can swim and not pay I'm good.

Huh. I live nearby Hornsby and I had no idea about this quarry until just now. Cool.

the second guy looks like he'd be happy to take candy from strangers.

Whats the latest update on the MTB Trails??

What rock was quarried here and what years was it active? Thank you.

So if you look on google maps still a hole in the ground no changes

Quite a transformation. Unrecognisable.

Consulting with the community, how did that go? As normal, you get what we want you to have would be my guess.

Sooooo, two years later.................................................. has it transformed yet???

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!

Hey, isn’t this the quarry in the movie It?

I thought Phillip Raddock was the mayor?

I would’ve suggested making a lake out of it...

turn it into a SCUBA DIVING lake.

Its 2021

Leave the water at the bottom, make roads along the edges and build houses into the rockwalls, done.

CUTTERS !

so up dates?

Misleading title :( I wanted to see it transform

That is great.

Uhm , What Happened ?

WHERE""??? WHAT STATE"? WHAT COUNTY??????

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

Should name it “HQ Park” when complete

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.

Wow, I didnt see any transformation.

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.

What a great place and opportunity to hide the bodies.

WTF? Why the hell is this in my recommended videos?

Basketball courts!

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.

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.

Fkn hell leave it

Condo with underground parking should have been built on site.

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.

Click bait it didn't transcend to anything . .........yet

Total con job by LNP $25 million for spoil they would otherwise have to pay for dumping another LNP con.

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.

Lying video. Doesn't show any transformation. Only a bunch of people talking about what they want to do.

please fucking don't

Two thumbs down, never saw the transformation. Talk is easy

Watch what? Nothing changed. I will claim my 3:26 from your soul.

It didnt transform at all. Just talk like most in politics.

Funny it didn’t change 1 bit. Another click bait travesty!

Clickbait

Clickbait sucks. Change title.

bla bla bla and more bla bla bla

Didn't see a change. 👎👎👎👎👎
