and connects a number of vantage points overlooking the operational areas of the southern apron, the docks, the major public spaces of the eastern apron, and across the water to the city. Access will also be provided to the vantage points at corners of the island.
Disabled access is being provided to connect the key vantage points and the island's significant public spaces.
The most significant public places, shown in Figure 27, include the large-scaled open spaces such as the Eastern Apron plaza, the Northern Apron; the space between the two dry docks; the hillside overlooking the Northern Apron; and the smaller defined spaces such as the convict compound courtyards and the street-like spaces between the workshops. Each space provides a unique view or experience within the island, and offers locations for a diverse range of activities and functions.

The design of these public spaces will enhance visitors' understanding and appreciation of the place and the evolution of the occupation of the island. Shade and shelter is being incorporated in the design in a sympathetic manner. Access around the Island will generally be by walking and cycling, but some vehicular activity will be permitted such as for movement of goods, maintenance and construction; as well as small electric buggies for Ranger patrols and high frequency tenant movements. Vehicular access through these spaces will be limited. The slipway between the Camber Wharf and Buildings 92 & 93 will provide the primary vehicular access point to the island.
The sense of arrival by water will be enhanced by the design of entries, providing orientation, gathering areas and visitor facilities.
The lighting of the island is important to create a night-time landmark and also to provide spaces that are safe and inviting to use during the evening. The lighting of the eastern cliff face has created a harbour feature.

Precinct Outcomes

Southern Apron

Maritime Industry
Maritime uses are preferred for the Southern Apron because it has a diverse range of workshop buildings, sheds, hardstand, wharves and slipways that would suit the smaller scale industry that is now likely to be viable. The relatively lower heritage values of the buildings generally on the southern apron provide more flexibility for their adaptation to suit contemporary technology and work practices. The area is also more readily separated from the rest of the island by the two dry docks. This may enable WH&S requirements to be met more easily. The area can still be viewed by the public from a safe distance, and overlooked from the southern edge of the plateau. Specific policies to inform these outcomes include Policies 38-44.
