apron space adjacent to Sutherland wharf and the Sutherland Dock for truck and crane movements as well as storage.
The robust, concrete framed buildings on the south eastern corner (Buildings 92/93) enable the interior layout and exterior treatment to be modified extensively, if need be. Figure 30 - Possible New Building Envelopes indicates the maximum extent of any building extensions or new building, to retain adequate waterfront apron space along the Fitzroy Dock and along the Camber Wharf. The maximum height of additions or a new building is RL 21 to retain the visual prominence of the Workshops and the cliff line to the north of this site.

Eastern Apron
This precinct includes three distinct areas – the Parramatta Wharf entry at the northern end of the apron; the Plaza in front of the cliff face; and the Workshops on the southern side of the apron.
The Eastern Apron will continue to provide the main public access to the island and be home to a range of activities that enhance the sense of arrival and wonder due to the large scale of its workshops and spaces. Specific Policies to inform these outcomes include 47-52.
The outcomes for the Eastern apron are summarised in Figure 31. Figure 32 illustrates potential activities in this area.

Arrival to the Island
The Parramatta Wharf will continue to provide the main entry point for visitors arriving by ferry or charter boat. A new shelter, seating and lighting will be provided on the wharf pontoon to improve the amenity of the area while retaining the industrial character. Entry via the Gatehouse to the informal forecourt (formed by the Administration Building and Fire Station) will be retained and enhanced to create a sense of arrival. The forecourt provides an orientation and meeting area, framing views towards different parts of the island and the harbour that convey different aspects of the island's history (Refer to Policy 47).
The amenity and comfort of the area will be improved by the provision of seating, shelter and installations that facilitate interpretation of the island. Paving improvements will make use of the existing palette of materials which will improve the definition of the area and improve the control of stormwater run off. The openness and flexibility of the area will be retained so that it works well for managing arrival to large scale events as well for day to day, more casual visitation.
Facilities for Cockatoo Island visitors and workers, such as amenities, cafe, campground booking office and a visitor centre will be provided close to the main entry point. Many such facilities have now been established.
The Administration Building will provide activities that support the island - such as the continuation
