forms of transport to and on the island. This will be achieved by:
  * Encouraging the majority of people to access the island by public transport;
  * Assessing the potential transport-related impact of proposed activities and events; and
  * Establishing a generally car-free island where people mostly get about by walking or cycling.

Materials and Waste
Aim: To reduce materials used and waste generated on the island. This will be achieved by:
  * Minimising the amount of waste generated by visitors and workers on Cockatoo Island;
  * Recycling building materials and other consumables; and
  * Providing the Island with an effective waste management system.

Interpretation
One of the primary objectives of the Harbour Trust, in conserving the heritage of its lands and opening them up to public access, is to convey their rich natural and cultural heritage in a meaningful, relevant and engaging way to the public. (Refer to Policy 25).
The proposed use of the Island, its buildings and spaces, the creation and the design of parklands and the development of public open days, events, and publications will all be considered as part of an interpretation program to convey the totality of the significant values of Cockatoo Island, its context and setting. This will need to include the past uses of the island from its pre-European landscape - original shoreline and form - and Aboriginal heritage through to the various phases of its development and use. The interpretation program will need to appeal to the general public, the formal education sector and special interest groups. See Figure 39 ­– Interpretation Opportunities.
The Harbour Trust has prepared an interpretation strategy for Cockatoo Island which provides recommendations as to how the Harbour Trust can best communicate the natural, cultural, social and other values and significance of the lands to the public. The strategy aims to ensure that the interpretive and educational needs and expectations of visitors, key stakeholders and the Harbour Trust are met.
The strategy has six main functions:
  * Define and articulate the interpretive vision, goals and objectives that will guide interpretation on Cockatoo Island;
  * Identify an overarching interpretive theme and a set of sub-themes and key stories around which interpretive information will be organised and structured;
  * Explore the interpretive needs and expectations of likely audiences and outline interpretive tools that will reach them;
  * Provide guidelines for suggested interpretive methods and techniques that will engage and enrich visitor experiences;
  * Recommend a strategic approach towards the spread of interpretation across the island; and
  * Recommend a process for monitoring and evaluating interpretive activities.
The strategy recommends that the interpretation program should include, but not be restricted to, the following elements:
  * Development of a visitors centre
