Headland Preservation Group

The Headland preservation group (HPG) was formed more than 20 years ago in 1996. Together with a coalition of other organisations, HPG ran a successful campaign to protect former Defence sites on Sydney Harbour from commercial development. 

The campaign led to the creation of the finest foreshore park in the world by the return of former Defence sites on Sydney Harbour to the people of Australia. The Sydney Harbour Federation Trust was formed in 2001 by an Act of Federal Parliament. The Trust now manages these sites including Cockatoo Island, Woolwich Dock, Sub Base Platypus, Chowder Bay, Georges Heights, Middle Head, North Head and Macquarie Light Station.  

HPG is, on behalf of its members and the wider community, forever vigilant in continuing to campaign to protect the heritage of Sydney Harbour Federation Trust sites for all Australians in perpetuity.
