appealing. This will require ensuring the objects of the Harbour Trust Act and Harbour Trust's operational needs are met whilst balancing competing interests on the Island and the requirements of the EPBC Act.
Risks to achieving the Harbour Trust's goals could come from a range of potential actions. For example:
  * The need for further remediation the island may compromise material of archaeological significance and require the removal of fabric which contributes to the interesting industrial patina.
  * Providing public access to the continued re-occupation of the island will require upgrading of the buildings and infrastructure, roads and pathways to meet current operational standards. These works may affect the existing layered and 'make do' character of the island.
  * Works to upgrade buildings for leasing in accordance with building, health and safety requirements could result in the creation of a collection of shiny 'new' buildings that would be out of character with their surrounds.
The inherent risk in achieving these varied aims is that the heritage values of the island may be diminished. The cycle of re-use and redevelopment means that these pressures to the heritage values will be an ongoing management concern. Consideration has been given to these risks when developing the conservation policies for the island.
However, the heritage aspects of the Island and its buildings, structures and objects are recognised as its prime attributes and will be treated with utmost respect as required by the Burra Charter.

Conservation Policies
The following policies have been prepared as required by EPBC Amendment Regulations 2003, 10.01, 10.01C, Schedule 5, 5A (h)
(i-xii) and 10.03B and Schedule 7A (h) (i-xii).
The policies seek to protect and conserve the statutory World, National and Commonwealth heritage values of the island, as identified in the previous sections of this plan. The policies also aim to provide management guidance and these are reflected in the proposed Outcomes in this plan. The policies have been primarily derived from the Convict and Dockyard Conservation Management Plans. The table presents policies applicable to the entire island and more specific policies to protect the values of Cockatoo's convict, institutional and dockyard history. Excerpts from the World, National and Commonwealth values have been included throughout the table to emphasise the link between the values and the policies.
