I did a bit of research when I got home and found the following on the Australian Government Natural Resource Management (NRM) website:

"The Bidjigal Reserve Trust was formed to manage Bidjigal Reserve. The Trust was set up after descendants of the Darug people lodged a claim for a role in managing part of Excelsior Reserve."

The Trust who manages the reserve is made up of a collection of people that includes indigenious members, local residents and other stakeholders. I think Wendy herself is a resident. Frontline can get very busy at times, but it seems the residents are tolerant of us climbing there (?). I think Council are no longer involved in managing the reserve and the Trust has replaced them as the land managers.
