Hi Scott,
I am open to anywhere in that waterway with about a 35-37 ft boat.

Try middle harbour up near the Spit bridge they where reasonable last time I tried they had moorings to then there is always Pittwater
There are no live aboard marinas in Sydney as in NSW you are not allowed to live on a boat ,however if you are " cruising " you can stay while you work to replenish your cruising funds . Remember that statement . Try the other side of spit bridge for cruising moorings and walk on . Cammeray marina .
Woolwich marina
There is at least one living aboard at the motor boat club I have noticed .
I am sure you probably could somewhere on the port as well.
Swing mooring lots of them.

RMYC in Pittwater is no longer taking liveaboards and the the couple of remaining ones are being encouraged to move on.
We lived aboard at Woolwich Marina from 2015-2016, and Clontarf Marina from 2017-2018. Despite the fact that we were holding down corporate jobs and had a boat that "looked the part", it was tough to find a marina that would take us - they mostly said it wasn't allowed, although from what we understand, it IS allowed so long as the marina has a pump out station. Cammeray were happy, but were full, and also we couldn't face the 100 plus steps up to the road every day!
We eventually worked out that the right way is to approach the marina owner and say "If someone was to ask you if they could live aboard, what would you say?". The winning answer was "Well, if someone asked me, I'd have to say no!", delivered with a wink!
So basically they were happy to turn a blind eye, so long as you kept a low profile. I think they preferred having one or two liveaboards from a security perspective, and whenever there was a blow, we'd find ourselves wandering the marina ensuring nothing was amiss (and always found one or two boats with flapping mainsail covers or poorly tied mooring lines).
In the end, Clontarf was the winner, by far. It's beautiful, fully protected, and although the road traffic was a bit of a bear going to and from work, it was so worth it. On no accounts should you consider Woolwich marina - the wash from the ferries, not to mention 3 knots of cross tide (it's the narrowest part of Sydney Harbour) when you're trying to get in and out of you berth, make it untenable.
Good luck!
