Sydney Metropolitan Catchment Management Authority has merged with Hawkesbury-Nepean Catchment Management Authority

The NSW Government recently announced that the Sydney Metropolitan Catchment Management Authority has been merged with the Hawkesbury-Nepean Catchment Management Authority as part of the changes to the regional service delivery model. From January, 2014 Local Land Services, a new regionally-based organisation will replace the Catchment Management Authorities, Livestock, Health & Pest Authorities and incorporate agricultural services currently provided by Agriculture NSW.

The Hawkesbury-Nepean Catchment Management Authority's area of operation now includes all the areas previously covered by the Sydney Metropolitan Catchment Management Authority. This website will now become an archived website. For more information about Hawkesbury Nepean Catchment Management Authority, and to find out about upcoming events visit www.hn.cma.nsw.gov.au

Middle Harbour

This catchment is defined as that area which drains to Middle Harbour and its tributaries. The mouth of the harbour is defined by Grotto Point at Clontarf and Middle Head.

The Middle Harbour catchment covers 100-square kilometres and has a population of approximately 200,000 people. Land use in the catchment is mainly residential, with some commercial and industrial use.

Bushland covers one-quarter of the catchment and includes Garigal National Park.

Councils within this area include: Mosman, Willoughby, North Sydney, Manly, Ku-ring-gai and Warringah.
