Outcomes
Cockatoo Island is being revitalised as an active part of Sydney's cultural life that is open to general public access. While becoming more integrated with the city, the valued characteristics and qualities that make the island distinct from the surrounding urban landscape will be protected.
The island will accommodate a broad range of mutually supportive uses and activities of varying scales aimed at broadening the island's appeal and ensuring the island's viability. Maritime and related industry are being re-established, while new uses such as cultural events, studios, workshops for creative industries and visitor accommodation has been introduced. Balancing this activity, there are a diversity of public open spaces, vantage points and quiet places for reflection.
Existing buildings and structures are being adaptively reused, and heritage sites are being conserved and interpreted as an important element of the island's attractions. While the revitalisation of the island has drawn from the past phases of its history, a distinctly new phase is being created, characterised by the island's openness to, and occupation by the public, to whom it was closed for 165 years, from its time as a convict gaol through to its opening up by the Harbour Trust in 2005.

Vision
The various themes of the vision, and its implementation to date, are set out below:
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   Being an Island
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   Cockatoo Island provides a sense of wonder by being an island that has a grand scale as well as intricacy and complexity. The island is in a commanding position in a broad basin at the meeting of three waterways where it enjoys vistas over the surrounding waters, islands and peninsulas.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   This relationship to the surrounding waters will be appreciated through the journey by water, the sense of arrival, and the selection of new uses and activities on the island. As an island, there is a need for a degree of self-sufficiency, by providing accommodation and basic services such as food outlets to cater for Cockatoo's visitor, worker and resident population.
