Greenstyle is a community program for residents in Hornsby, Ku-ring-gai and Willoughby Councils. Residents are encouraged to join the program to achieve improved sustainability in the home including improved biodiversity conservation in the backyard. The benefits to participants include access to 'green' businesses and discounted services/products, ongoing technical advice, information and training towards achievable sustainability in their home and gardens.
Greenstyle Advisers (one based at each council) are there to co-ordinate, run and provide support to residents in the program.
Greenstyle aims to encourage local businesses to be involved and to facilitate environmental initiatives for residents. The program will also undertake restoration of creek lines, bush corridors on adjoining public land.
Various rebates for sustainability initiatives are available.
