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.

Middle Harbour extends about convert 10 km mi sp us to the northwest, from where it joins the main harbour near the Heads. Its shore is nearly everywhere rugged, barren and forested and for this reason Middle Harbour was almost entirely neglected during the first two centuries of European settlement in Sydney. There are only a few small patches of flat land on its shores. There are many small creeks draining the surrounding hills, but no significant rivers flow into Middle Harbour. Middle Harbour is a significant physical barrier between Sydney and the suburbs known as the Northern Beaches Sydney Northern Beaches area which lie north and east of Middle Harbour. There are only two bridges the Spit Bridge and the Roseville Bridge . Because of this obstacle, historically the main transport between Manly, New South Wales Manly and Sydney was by ferry . Since the 1920s, most of the land on the ridge tops around Middle Harbour have been developed for suburban housing. Much of the rugged shore of the Middle Harbour remains covered with bushland, most of it now protected by parks and reserves. Middle Harbour is a popular area for recreational boating and fishing.
