Cockatoo Island is undergoing a major transformation. The Sydney Harbour Federation Trust is revitalising Cockatoo Island, and it is becoming home to a vibrant mix of enterprises, organisations and fascinating public and interpretive spaces. 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 will be re-established, while new uses such as cultural events, studios, workshops for creative industries and visitor accommodation will be introduced. Balancing this activity, there will be a diversity of public open spaces, vantage points and quiet places for reflection.

Existing buildings and structures will be adaptively reused, and heritage sites will be conserved and interpreted as an important element of the island's attractions.

Combining stunning views, proximity to the CBD and a wealth of remnants from its penal and industrial past, this wonderful place combines tranquillity and the lustre of a rare opportunity. The Harbour Trust invites businesses, service providers, groups and individuals to consider the advantages of leasing space in this landmark location.

Facilities range from expansive workshops to quirky studios; from functional office space to historic former residences; from dramatic exhibition space to valuable marine facilities; from gritty hardstand to waterfront grassland.

For a unique place to conduct a business or enterprise, Cockatoo Island is hard to beat.
