Preserving Sydney's Port Heritage

Sydney Ports Heritage Register was endorsed at a recent meeting of the Heritage Council of NSW.

The list contains 41 entries including the historic Glebe Island Silos, Moore’s Wharf building, the Sydney Cove Passenger Terminal and one of Australia’s oldest lighthouses.

Under the State’s Heritage Act, all Government Authorities are required to establish and maintain a register which details every item of environmental and heritage value the agency owns or occupies.

One example of our port heritage is the Hornby Lighthouse at Watsons Bay which is one of the oldest operational lighthouses in Australia.

Built in 1858, the Hornby Lighthouse remains an important component of the harbour’s lighthouse system which to this day ensures safe navigation in the port of Sydney.
