City of Hawkesbury, Administrative division in New South Wales, Australia
The Hawkesbury City Council manages an area of 2,776 square kilometers, incorporating both urban developments and extensive agricultural lands northwest of Sydney.
The region transformed from Indigenous Darug territory to European settlement in 1794 when farms were established to support Sydney's growing colonial population.
The Hawkesbury Regional Gallery and Museum present exhibitions that document the area's development from Aboriginal heritage through colonial times to present day.
Residents access council services through multiple channels, including online platforms for development applications, waste management schedules, and community program registrations.
The council area contains five original colonial towns established by Governor Macquarie in the 1800s, which maintain their historical street layouts and buildings.
