The '''City of Sydney''' is the [[Local government in Australia|local government area]] covering the [[Sydney central business district]] and surrounding inner city suburbs of the greater metropolitan area of [[Sydney]], [[New South Wales]], [[Australia]]. Established by Act of Parliament in 1842, the City of Sydney is the oldest, and the oldest-surviving, local government authority in New South Wales, and the second-oldest in Australia, with only the [[City of Adelaide]] being older by two years.
 
Given its prominent position, historically, geographically, economically and socially, the City of Sydney has long been a source of political interest and intrigue. As a result of this, the boundaries, constitution and legal basis of the council has changed many times throughout its history, often to suit the governing party of the State of New South Wales. The City of Sydney is currently governed under the [https://www.legislation.nsw.gov.au/#/view/act/1988/48 City of Sydney Act, 1988], which defines and limits the powers, election method, constitution and boundaries of the council area. On 6 February 2004, the former local government area of the [[City of South Sydney]], which itself had been created in 1989 from areas formerly part of the City of Sydney (including [[Alexandria, New South Wales|Alexandria]], [[Darlington, New South Wales|Darlington]], [[Erskineville]], [[Newtown, New South Wales|Newtown]] and [[Redfern, New South Wales|Redfern]]), was formally merged into the City of Sydney and the current city boundaries date from this merger.
=== Historie ===
[[Fil:Supreme Court, Sydney.jpg|thumb|Old Registry Office, nu en del af [[Supreme Court of New South Wales]], var en af de tre første retsbygninger.]]
I de tidlige kolonidage havde den siddende guvernør og hans militær enerådig magt over befolkningen.<ref name="Early European settlement"/> Denne mangel på demokrati blev uacceptabel efterhånden som kolonien fik flere frie bosættere. De første tegn på et rigtigt retssystem dukkede op, da man i Storbritannien i 1814 vedtog ny lovgivning for et retsvæsen i New South Wales. Det etablerede tre nye retsstole, heriblandt [[Supreme Court of New South Wales|Højesteret]], og dikterede at [[engelsk lov]] skulle følges.<ref name="Governor Lachlan Macquarie">{{cite web|publisher=Parliament of New South Wales|date=2014|url=http://www.parliament.nsw.gov.au/prod/web/common.nsf/key/HistoryGovernorLachlanMacquarie|title=Governor Lachlan Macquarie|accessdate=17. august 2014}}</ref> I 1823 vedtog [[det britiske parlament]] oprettelsen af et lovgivende råd i [[New South Wales]] og gav Højesteret retten til at gennemse ny lovgivning.<ref name="The first Legislature">{{cite web|publisher=Parliament of New South Wales|date=2014|url=http://www.parliament.nsw.gov.au/prod/web/common.nsf/key/HistoryFirstLegislature|title=The first Legislature|accessdate=17. august 2014}}</ref> Fra 1828 skulle engelsk [[common law]] anvendes i New South Wales.<ref name="The first Legislature"/> I 1842 vedtog det [[Det britiske parlament|britiske parlament]] at alle medlemmer i det lovgivende råd skulle vælges for første gang.<ref name="The first Legislature"/>
 
The leader of the City of Sydney is known as the [[Lord Mayor of Sydney]], currently held since 27 March 2004 by [[Clover Moore]], who also served concurrently as the state Member of Parliament for [[Electoral district of Sydney|Sydney]] and [[Electoral district of Bligh|Bligh]] from 1988 to 2012.
Konstitutionen i 1855 gav New South Wales et [[tokammersystem]]. Det eksisterende Lovgivende Råd blev til overhuset og et nyt kammer kaldet Legislative Assembly blev til underhuset.<ref name="Towards responsible government">{{cite web|publisher=Parliament of New South Wales|date=2014|url=http://www.parliament.nsw.gov.au/prod/web/common.nsf/key/HistoryTowardsResponsibleGovernment|title=Towards responsible government|accessdate=17. august 2014}}</ref> Et Udøvende Råd blev oprettet bestående af 5 medlemmer fra den Lovgivende forsamling samt guvernøren.<ref>{{cite web|publisher=Parliament of New South Wales|date=2014|url=http://www.parliament.nsw.gov.au/prod/web/common.nsf/key/HistoryResponsibleGovernment|title=Responsible government and colonial development|accessdate=17. august 2014}}</ref> Rådet havde til opgave at rådgive den siddende guvernør i sager om statens administration. De andre bosættelser i Australien blev udskilt fra New South Wales og dannede deres egne regeringer.

==Suburbs and localities in the local government area==

The name ''Sydney'' comes from "[[Sydney Cove]]" which is where the English Governor (later Admiral) [[Arthur Phillip]] established the first settlement, after arriving with the [[First Fleet]]. On 26 January 1788, he named it after [[Thomas Townshend, 1st Viscount Sydney]], who was the [[home secretary]] at the time, and the man responsible for the plan for the convict colony in Australia.
 
The "City of Sydney" was established on 20 July 1842<ref name=scc>{{cite web|title=History of Sydney City Council |publisher=City of Sydney |url=http://www.cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au/AboutSydney/documents/history/hs_chos_history_of_council_1001.pdf |format=PDF |accessdate=9 February 2007 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20121203034320/http://www.cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au/aboutsydney/documents/history/hs_chos_history_of_council_1001.pdf |archivedate=3 December 2012 |df=dmy }}</ref> by the Corporation Act which encompasses present-day [[Woolloomooloo]], [[Surry Hills]], [[Chippendale, New South Wales|Chippendale]] and [[Pyrmont, New South Wales|Pyrmont]], an area of 11.65&nbsp;km<sup>2</sup>. There were six wards established by boundary posts. These wards were: Gipps, Brisbane, Macquarie, Bourke, Cook and Phillip. A boundary post still exists in front of Sydney Square.
Sydney er også den sekundære officielle residens for generalguvernøren af Australien (Admiralty House) og Australiens premierminster (Kirribilli House).<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.gg.gov.au/about-governor-general/official-residences|title=Official Residences|publisher=[[Governor-General of Australia]]|accessdate=1 June 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170530161014/http://www.gg.gov.au/about-governor-general/official-residences|archive-date=30 May 2017|url-status=dead}}</ref>
 
The boundaries of the City of Sydney have changed fairly regularly since 1900. The bankrupt [[Municipality of Camperdown]] was merged with the city in 1909. As a result of the [[Local Government (Areas) Act 1948]], the municipalities of [[Municipality of Alexandria|Alexandria]], [[Municipality of Darlington|Darlington]], [[Municipality of Erskineville|Erskineville]], [[Municipality of Newtown|Newtown]], [[Municipality of Redfern|Redfern]], [[Municipality of The Glebe|The Glebe]], [[Municipality of Waterloo|Waterloo]], and [[Municipality of Paddington|Paddington]] were added to the city. In 1968 the boundaries were changed and many of these suburbs moved to be part of a new municipality of South Sydney. South Sydney was brought back into the city in 1982, but became separate again under the City of Sydney Act of 1988 and then became smaller than its original size at 6.19&nbsp;km<sup>2</sup>. It grew again in February 2004 with the merger of the two council areas, and now has a population of approximately 170,000 people.
=== Bystyre ===
Der er ingen overordnet administrativ enhed, som svarer til hele Sydney. Overordnet styring ligger hos regeringen i New South Wales, der er ansvarlig for hovedveje, trafikkontrol, offentlig transport, politi, uddannelse og større infrastruktur.<ref>{{cite web|publisher=Australian Electoral Commission|date=2014|url=http://www.aec.gov.au/About_AEC/Publications/Fact_Sheets/three_lvls.htm|title=Three levels of government|accessdate=27. juli 2014}}</ref> Sydney er - som hele Australien - inddelt i [[Lokalregering (Australien)|lokalregeringsområder]] (også kaldet ''councils'', ''cities'', ''municapilities'' eller ''shires''). Disse lokalregeringsområder har valgte råd, som er ansvarlige for de opgaver, der delegeres til dem fra regeringen i New South Wales. De 31 lokalregeringsområder, som siden 2016 har udgjort Sydney, er:

Tidligere var der en tendens til at delstatsregeringen modsatte sig en sammenlægning af de befolkningsrige lokalregeringsområder i Sydney, fordi det ville rykke magtbalancen mellem delstatsregeringen og lokalregeringerne.<ref>{{cite book|last=Golder|first=Hilary|year=2004|title=Sacked: removing and remaking the Sydney City Council}}</ref> En større reform i NSW i 2016 reducerede dog antallet af lokalregeringsområder i Sydney og resten af delstaten.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://legislation.nsw.gov.au/view/pdf/asmade/sl-2016-242|title=New South WalesLocal Government (Council Amalgamations) Proclamation 2016|date=|website=|access-date=18. december 2020}}</ref> Målsætningen for reformen var, at et lokalregeringsområde skulle have en befolkning på mindst 150.000, så den kunne opretholde det nødvendige serviceniveau.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://legislation.nsw.gov.au/view/pdf/asmade/sl-2016-242|title=NSW councils to merge under State Government plan for forced amalgamations; 2016 elections delayed|date=18. december 2020|website=|access-date=}}</ref> De mest befolkningningsrige lokalregeringsområder i Sydney er Canterbury-Bankstown (368.000), Blacktown (357.000) og Northern Beaches (269.000).<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://population.com.au/lga/|title=The population of Local Government Areas|date=|website=|access-date=19. december 2020}}</ref>
 
These changes in boundaries have often resulted in control of the council by the governing party in the [[Parliament of New South Wales]] at the time; the [[Australian Labor Party (New South Wales Branch)|Labor Party]] often sought to have traditional working-class suburbs like Redfern, Erskineville, Alexandria and Waterloo included in the council area, and the [[Liberal Party of Australia (New South Wales Division)|Liberal Party]] and its predecessors often desired a smaller council area focused on inner-Sydney or a limited/broader voting franchise. A 1987 re-organisation initiated by a Labor state government and completed in 1989 under a Liberal Coalition government saw the City of Sydney split again, with southern suburbs forming the [[City of South Sydney]], a moved that advantaged the government of the day, as the southern suburbs now in South Sydney Council had traditionally voted Labor.<ref name="green">{{cite news|last1=Green|first1=Antony|title=NSW Parliament looks to stack Sydney City Council - again!|url=http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-09-05/nsw-parliament-looks-to-stack-sydney-city-council---again/9388484|accessdate=23 May 2018|agency=Antony Green's Election Blog - ABC Elections|date=5 September 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last1=Dias|first1=Avani|title=Cabinet papers reveal 1987 decision to sack Sydney council just as Clover Moore set to run for mayor|url=http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-09-07/sydney-council-sacked-in-1987-hampered-clover-moore/8882436|accessdate=23 May 2018|agency=ABC News|date=7 September 2017}}</ref>

On 8 May 2003 the Labor state Government partially undid this change, when approximately 40% of the South Sydney City Council area was merged back into the City of Sydney including Camperdown, Chippendale, Darlington, East Sydney, Kings Cross and Woolloomooloo. Glebe was also transferred back from Leichhardt Council to the City of Sydney.<ref>{{cite web |title=Historic Council Boundaries |url=https://cityofsydney.maps.arcgis.com/apps/MapSeries/index.html?appid=8cf4c625fd924e38a14d40e8ff1960a0 |website=City of Sydney Data Hub |publisher=City of Sydney |access-date=5 December 2020}}</ref> On 6 February 2004, the remaining parts of the South Sydney City Council were merged into the City of Sydney. Critics claimed that this was performed with the intention of creating a "super-council" which would be under the control of Labor, which also controlled the NSW Government. Subsequent to this merger, an election took place on 27 March 2004 which resulted in the independent candidate [[Clover Moore]] defeating the high-profile Labor candidate, former federal minister [[Michael Lee (Australian politician)|Michael Lee]] and winning the position of [[List of Mayors and Lord Mayors of Sydney|Lord Mayor]].<ref name="green"/>
