Thistle Hill Vineyard

Welcome to The Thistle Hill Vineyard.

The Thornleigh Area Bushland Society has worked for the past 15 years to promote awareness of the Thornleigh area bushland and to protect that bushland from damage and contamination. The management of parts of Pennant Hills Park and Thornleigh Park was passed into the Lane Cove National Park under a memorandum of understanding.

This led to all responsibility for the transferred bushland passing from the Council of the Shire of Hornsby [HSC] to the National Parks and Wildlife Service. The memorandum of understanding, apart from covering maintenance, park access, stormwater and fire management, also specified a proposed level of funding by the New South Wales Government.

The estimated dollar value of the funding for the HSC's traditional lands was to be $1.6 million per year. Capital funding for the first year, $620,000, dropped down to $170,000 per year in subsequent years.
