The park lies within the Sydney, Australia Sydney metropolitan area and was created in piecemeal fashion during the 20th century. Much of the harbour foreshores had been spoiled by residential development what remained was preserved partly because of the presence of military bases, and partly because of the work of conservationists. Early precursors of today s Greens were responsible for stopping mining at Ashton Park in the 19th Century. Other places were saved because of people such as the visionary Neil Nielsen , who became the New South Wales Minister for Lands and a strong advocate of a public reserve around SydneyHarbour. Nielsen was ahead of his time when he used the phrase national park in regard to the harbour foreshores, but Sydney eventually caught up with him.

Image QE2 Sydney1.jpg thumb 300px Circular Quay and The Rocks, New South Wales The Rocks are administered by the Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority The Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority is a statutory authority set up by the Government of New South Wales in order to maintain the Port Jackson Sydney Harbour foreshore area. It maintains 4 km of waterfront real estate in the foreshore area including Darling Harbour and The Rocks, New South Wales The Rocks . The current president of the SHFA board is Jarrod Ingram. The Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority also owns and maintains other land in Sydney, including the Rozelle classification yard Marshalling Yard s and White Bay Power Station, New South Wales White Bay Power Station . Some of this land is not waterfront land, and it is quite a quirk of SHFA s history that it is the owner of this land. The Authority is also place manager for a number of culturally significant sites in Sydney, including Luna Park Sydney , the Sydney Conservatorium of Music and the Circular Quay precinct. In previous years, land ownership included the suburbs of Pyrmont, New South Wales Pyrmont and Ultimo, New South Wales Ultimo , but these have since been redeveloped and sold to the private sector. Proceeds from these land sales were returned to the NSW Treasury. The Authority is administered by a seven member Board, which reports to the NSW Minister for Planning.
