Years: 1821 - 1821
Lachlan Macquarie, during his time as governor of New South Wales, has commissioned the construction of roads, wharves, churches and public buildings, sent explorers out from Sydney and employed a planner to design the street layout of Sydney.
Macquarie's legacy is still evident today.
Leaders of the free settler community have complained to London about Macquarie's policies, and in 1819 the government had appointed an English judge, John Bigge, to visit New South Wales and report on its administration.
Bigge generally agrees with the settlers' criticisms, and his reports on the colony lead to Macquarie's resignation in 1821; he has, however, served longer than any other governor.
