It’s a gateway to Sydney, yet dissected by transport arteries. It’s where the city meets the harbour, yet you can’t touch the water. With innovation and partnership between public and private interests, these and other improvements to the Quay can be realised - creating Australia’s iconic waterfront of the world. 4 CIRCULAR QUAY PUBLIC DOMAIN MANUAL 1.

In recognition of the importance of the Tank Stream to the people of Sydney and New South Wales, it was protected by a Permanent Conservation Order in 1989 and entered on the NSW State Heritage Register in 1999. The Tank Stream is recognised as being of national importance to the European settlement of Australia. Aboriginal occupation Due to the almost immediate impact of European colonists, our knowledge of Sydney’s Aboriginal people is limited. Early settlers casual and systematic observations provide some insight, but basic information is missing or ambiguous. Even the names of the Aboriginal landscape with the names of the stream and the other features in the catchment have been lost. Recently researchers favour Gadigal (often spelt Cadigal) as the name of the group that had some rights and obligations for the land around Sydney Cove. The Gadigal spoke the coastal dialect of Dharug, which makes them part of a larger group within the Sydney region.
