Due to its exceptional level of heritage significance the Powerhouse (Building 58) will be conserved and interpreted. Its future use will be more as a working artefact than a fully operational facility. It may also be used for functions or events. The conservation works and use will be guided by the CMP which has been prepared for the building by Godden Mackay Logan (Refer to Policy 45).

Building Additions and New Buildings
The buildings in this precinct form a relatively cohesive group of industrial buildings ranging from the 1909 Timber Shipwrights' shed to the double brick Weapons Workshop built in the late 1960s. The heritage significance of these buildings and structures varies, with the Shipwrights' shed and the Sutherland Wharf considered having high significance and the other buildings having a much lower significance. The collection of buildings, however are valuable for interpreting the shipbuilding history of the island. It is proposed that the Shipwrights Shed will be restored along with its associated waterfront infrastructure. The buildings have been continually used for maritime related uses and have been altered several times in their lifetime to accommodate changing requirements. Their revival may require a number of changes to comply with current work practices and safety standards as well as changes in technology. The buildings of lesser heritage significance could be re-modelled or re-built over time to suit emerging uses.
Some activities may require purpose built structures. The inadequacy of existing buildings and the requirement for a new structure will need to be demonstrated. New buildings are expected to be infill rather than demolition and replacement of the whole grouping. Any new building or additions to existing buildings are to:
  * Be consistent with the generally low scale of buildings on the south western side of the apron and within a maximum height of RL12.5;
  * Retain the spatial relationship of buildings to the water's edge, the slipways, wharves and the Sutherland Dock by staying within the prescribed building envelope;
  * Retain the overall character of the grouping of freestanding buildings;
  * Fit sympathetically with the silhouette of buildings and their individual roof forms against the sandstone cliff face – particularly as viewed from the south
  * Utilise utilitarian building forms, details, materials of buildings (pale brick, corrugated roofing iron) and building signs;
  * Be in keeping with the existing materials and structures of the southern apron;
  * Retain occasional spaces between buildings and the scattered glimpses between buildings; and
  * Provide sufficient 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
