On-Island Facilities
The report recommends that for operational purposes the island provide two passenger wharves and two Roll on/Roll off ramps for receiving goods and visitors. The report identifies infrastructure suitable for upgrade or redevelopment to provide access to Cockatoo Island for freight and passengers. These are:
Roll-On/Roll-Off Ramp:
  * Adjacent to former Fitzroy Wharf (Southern Apron); and
  * No. 2 Slipway (Northern Apron).
Passenger Ferries
  * Parramatta Wharf (Eastern Apron); and
  * Camber Wharf (Southern Apron).
The report also suggests that the Sutherland Wharf is suitable for craning materials on and off the island from barges or ferries.
The Parramatta Wharf is used for the regular ferry service, and the Camber Wharf has been used as an "overflow" access point during events, or for charter ferries.
Some recommendations of this report have been incorporated into the Outcomes section of this report.

Noise Impact Assessment
In August 2004 the Harbour Trust commissioned Dick Benbow & Associates Pty Ltd to undertake a Noise Impact Assessment of Cockatoo Island. As part of this study a detailed noise survey was conducted across the residential areas surrounding the Island. Reasonable noise limits were established to protect the acoustic amenity of these areas. These limits set the noise design objectives that activities on Cockatoo Island would need to be able to satisfy. The ability of potential activities to meet the objectives was then assessed through extensive noise modeling.
The modeling found that there would be numerous activities that can readily satisfy the noise design objectives for day and evening time periods. The southern apron will be able to be used for small maritime industrial activities and the existing workshop buildings will provide sufficient noise reduction. Minor activities in external areas along the southern apron will also readily satisfy daytime noise design objectives. Larger scale maritime activities will require a specific noise management plan to be developed with a set of guideline noise limits for major noise generating equipment to be provided.
Large scale events that involve amplified music will also need specific guidelines on the level of noise that can be generated for daytime, evening and night time. The use of PA systems for events will also be critical to noise management.
The study also identified a number of other uses such as restaurants and cafes, hotels and conference facilities, and film and TV studios that could be accommodated on the island without having adverse noise impacts.
