Planning Framework

Relationship with the Harbour Trust's Comprehensive Plan
This Management Plan is the middle level of a three tiered comprehensive planning system developed to guide the future of the Harbour Trust's lands.
The other levels are:
  * The Harbour Trust's Comprehensive Plan - this is an overarching plan that provides a process for the preparation of Management Plans; and
  * Specific projects or actions - actions are defined in the EPBC Act 1999 and are similar to the concept of development in NSW planning legislation.
This Management Plan has to be interpreted in conjunction with the Harbour Trust's Comprehensive Plan, in particular the Outcomes identified in Part 5 of the Harbour Trust's Comprehensive Plan and the Objectives and Policies in Part 3.
The Outcomes diagram in Part 5 of the Harbour Trust's Comprehensive Plan for Cockatoo Island is reproduced at Figure 2. Conservation policies in this plan provide guidance on how these outcomes can be managed in a way that protects, conserves, presents and transmits to all generations the National and Commonwealth Heritage values.
The Objectives and Policies most relevant to this Management Plan are those relating to working harbour, tourism, contamination, water quality and catchment protection, cultural heritage, adaptive re-use of places and buildings, access, open space and recreation, and education. These Objectives and Policies were addressed during the assessment of the site and are discussed in more detail in the relevant sections of this plan.

Related Harbour Trust Policies and Guidelines
There are a number of overarching Policies and Guidelines foreshadowed in the Harbour Trust's Comprehensive Plan that will be developed over the lifetime of the Harbour Trust and that will also guide the conservation and adaptive reuse of the island. Current relevant policies are:
  * The Harbour Trust's Corporate Plan;
  * The Harbour Trust's Leasing of Land and Buildings Policy;
  * The Harbour Trust's policy for the Leasing of Land and Buildings to Community Users;
  * The Harbour Trust Event Policy;
  * The Harbour Trust's Heritage Strategy; and
  * The Harbour Trust's Interpretation Strategy for Cockatoo Island.
This Management Plan has regard for these existing policies. If or when other Harbour Trust Policies and Guidelines are developed this plan will be reviewed to ensure that they do not impact adversely on the World,
