The Sydney Catchment Authority was a statutory authority of the Government of New South Wales created in 1999 to manage and protect drinking water catchments and catchment infrastructure, and supplies bulk water to its customers, including Sydney Water and a number of local government authorities in the state of New South Wales, Australia.
The authority was led by its chief executive, who reported to the board of the authority that was ultimately responsible to the Minister for Primary Industries and Minister for Regional Water.
The authority was established pursuant to the Sydney Water Catchment Management Act, 1998 (NSW). From 1 January 2015, the Sydney Catchment Authority joined with State Water to form WaterNSW, a single organisation responsible for managing bulk water supply across the State.
