Lachlan Macquarie was Governor of the New South Wales colony in Australia from 1810 to 1821. He helped to develop the New South Wales colony, extending from Sydney to Parramatta, from penal colony to free settlement. He was the one to introduce the first building code into the colony; requirements of the building code included that all buildings must be constructed of timber or brick; they must have a shingle tile roof; and they must have a proper chimney, to minimise fire risk. He also ordered that roads, bridges, wharves, churches and public buildings be constructed. Because he was a man with a plan and a vision, Parramatta developed into a business centre with a life of its own, not just an outpost for Sydney.
Macquarie promoted exploration in order to facilitate the spread of settlement. In 1813 he sponsored Blaxland, Wentworth and Lawson on their journey across the Blue Mountains, where they found the grazing plains of the interior.
