The Harbour Trust is governed by the members of the Trust, a body appointed by the Minister for the Environment.

Reports, plans, minutes, regulatory statements and other informational documents.

The Harbour Trust’s strategic plans articulate our vision for our sites, and how this vision will be implemented through a mix of complementary land uses, works and interpretation.
The Comprehensive Plan was made under the Sydney Harbour Federation Trust Act 2001. It is a broad strategic plan that sets out the vision for all Harbour Trust sites, and provides a framework for their ongoing use.
Individuals or organisations seeking to use Harbour Trust land for an activity, permit or food business application, must secure the approval of the Harbour Trust.
