All commercial fishing is banned in Sydney harbor and along the Parramatta river. It's also recommended that you don't consume anything caught west of the harbor bridge and limit yourself to only consuming 150g/month of seafood caught east of the bridge.
This is because all of it is contaminated with dioxins resulting from the Union Carbide plant in Homebush that operated until the 1980s and produced chemicals including 2,4,5-T and agent orange.
The photo was taken at Breakfast Point on the weekend which used to be the former site of a coal gasification plant. Its funny to think all this expensive property ($750k AUD for a 1bd unit) is built on a former contaminated industrial site and the waterways will remain contaminated and therefore will not be used for fishing within my lifetime.
