Details
In
recognition of the Diamond Jubilee of the Incorporation of Hornsby Shire in
1906, the Council commissioned Killara artist Bryan Mansell to design a Coat of
Arms and a Presidential Chain. The official Coat of Arms was formally adopted by
Hornsby Shire Council in 1966.
The motto 'Progress to Succeed' was chosen to
underline the Council's faith in the Shire's future.
An explanation of
the symbols on the crest...above the shield and suspended beneath the Southern
Cross is the Australian Magpie alighting on the Hawkesbury sandstone. With in
the shield are citrus fruit, typical of the Shire's agriculture, and the wheel
represents the Shire's industry. The red chevron is the colour of the Waratah,
the NSW State flower and below this is the magnificent Hawkesbury River, the
hunting and fishing ground of the local Aboriginal people. The flowers are the
symbol of the Australian floral beauty, typically found in the Shire. The
boomerang represents the archaeology of our country.
