Given the broad community support for the draft master plan, no major changes were made; however, the document included a range of changes including additional First Nations material, minor editing and clarifications, as well as including a number of specific comments made by submitters.
The Harbour Trust is working to develop the detailed staging of the proposals within the master plan, as well as to secure the funding required to complete the vision for Cockatoo Island / Wareamah. Further community consultation will be undertaken as required on major components as the master plan is implemented. Any proposals that have the potential to pose a significant impact on the environmental or heritage values of the place may be referred to the Commonwealth Minister for the Environment for consideration under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.
