Improving the on-going health of Sydney Harbour and its catchment is the focus of a Water Quality Improvement Plan being developed by the Sydney Metropolitan Catchment Management Authority.

The plan will assist the 25 local councils, 11 NSW Government agencies and 2 Commonwealth Government agencies who have a stake in improving the health of Sydney Harbour and its catchments. 
Right now there is no co-ordinated, catchment-wide Plan with sufficient technical detail to guide the improvement of water quality from all the catchments draining to Sydney Harbour.
The SMCMA plan will involve several steps over the next four years and will require partnership support from the local councils and government agencies which manage land draining into Sydney Harbour.
This project will link with existing and future Estuary Management Plans within the Sydney Harbour Catchment.
