The authority was formed in 1998 under the Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority Act, 1998 to consolidate the works and functions of the City West Development Corporation, Darling Harbour Authority and Sydney Cove Authority.[1] In September 2015 the NSW Government announced that the Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority's functions would be consolidated with Government Property NSW (Property NSW), as part of a move to consolidate government approaches to property and precinct management, including removing duplication of functions. The Statute Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act, 2015 took effect on 1 July, consolidating all functions of the SHFA into Property NSW.[2][3]
The Authority's mandate was to:
The Authority managed commercial and retail leases, providing security, cleaning, building maintenance and other facility management services, and had the responsibility for heritage protection, including over 100 New South Wales State Heritage listed items.
The Authority had previously been responsible for managing specific areas of foreshore land in Sydney, including Barangaroo (managed by the Barangaroo Delivery Authority) and the Darling Quarter retail and commercial redevelopment at Darling Harbour.
As a part of the Department of Finance and Services (New South Wales) cluster, it was autonomously administered by a Board that reported to the New South Wales Minister for Finance, Services and Property.
