Protecting Cockatoo
Cockatoo Island is a special place for the people of Australia. It is valued by the community for a diverse range of reasons: its harbour location and spectacular views; the surrounding maritime environment; its dramatic landscape features transformed over decades of use; the layers of history found in Cockatoo's complex network of buildings and its gritty, industrial character.
As custodian of Cockatoo Island for the people of Australia, the Harbour Trust is working to protect its significant features so that future generations can experience and enjoy this unique island.
Our Approach
The Harbour Trust aims to revitalise Cockatoo Island as an active part of Sydney's cultural life. For more information on our approach to management, strategic planning and decision-making in accordance with the principles of ecologically sustainable development, consult the Comprehensive Plan.
