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 of the education and information resource centre - offices and functions associated with day to day management of the island. There is also potential for a meeting area for former Cockatoo Island workers to facilitate the collection and communication of their experiences, and a refreshment area that could open the building towards a terrace by the water on the eastern side.
Visitor amenities have been provided in Building 33, following the removal of redundant demountable buildings.
Berths may be provided along the eastern edge of the island within the area of water owned by the Harbour Trust. Its layout will direct visitors towards the entry forecourt near the Administration Building (Refer to Policy 47).
Berths may also be provided at the southern corner of the apron, associated with the possible repair and reinstatement of the Ruby Wharf and steps.
The Bolt Wharf will be repaired and improved to enable large ferries (Freshwater Class) to service the island during large events. The southern end of the wharf would allow visiting and historic ships to be moored there, which would add to the attractions that relate to the island's maritime heritage (Refer to Policy 47).
The Plaza – created by the demolition of workshops prior to the formation of the Harbour Trust, will continue as a multi-purpose space for a broad range of uses, such as events, cultural activities, market stalls, and the display of boats (Refer to Policy 48).
Improvements are being made to the area to cater for safe, unrestricted public access. Improvements have been made in the collection and treatment of stormwater, and the treatment of uneven surfaces and trip hazards. These treatments will be used to facilitate interpretation of past structures, buildings and uses; the main service spine that extended along the entire length of the apron; and former shorelines. Shade will be provided in a manner that is in keeping with the robust, industrial character of the island and the precinct. In-ground planting is precluded by the requirement to retain the integrity of paving and to avoid disturbing contaminants.
A building on the plaza may be considered if it is for a significant cultural, civic or maritime purpose. The building's siting, scale and form would have to respond sympathetically to its dramatic setting, and would have to retain the continuity of access along the foreshore. A new building is not envisaged in the near future (Refer to Policy 42).
