Local government in NSW was first established by the ''Local Government (Shires) Act 1905 (NSW)'' which enabled the state governor to divide the state into shires and ridings.{{sfn|Twomey|2004|p=33}}
This was consolidated by the 1906 ''Act'', and further consolidated by the 1919 one, which also brought the [[City of Sydney]] under its umbrella, that had theretofore been controlled by the ''Sydney City Incorporation Act 1842 (NSW)''.{{sfn|Twomey|2004|p=33}}
The 1993 ''Act'' repealed the earlier ones and replaced them.{{sfn|Twomey|2004|p=33}}
