From the early 1800s, land was reserved, or set aside, by the NSW Government for Aboriginal people to use and live on. Motivations for creating reserves were mixed. In some cases, the reservation of land was the result of advocacy by Aboriginal people.

Reserves

Missionary societies from the United Kingdom established missions in NSW. Each mission operated independently. The living conditions on each mission depended on the people in charge. Aboriginal people went to missions by choice and by necessity. The NSW Government’s role was limited to granting land, funding, and distributing resources.
