The long-awaited masterplan is aimed at attracting hundreds of thousands more visitors each year to the Sydney Harbour landmark.
A new harbourside swimming pool is the centrepiece of a plan to transform Cockatoo Island and attract hundreds of thousands more visitors each year to the landmark site on Sydney Harbour.
“What we want to do is have more people come and experience what an amazing place it is, have them stay longer, and have more people be able to stay overnight,” Carding said. Carding said a new main entrance, accompanied by a second ferry stop and more frequent ferry services, would be installed beside the industrial precinct at the south-east corner.The plans also propose rehabilitating the two slipways on the western side into a public pool – which would likely require lining and a filtration system to ensure it was safe – as well as a spot for kayaks and other small vessels.
Carding said the southern headland had been earmarked for a hotel, which the plans said remained a “long-term aspiration”. She said it would only be built “if the demand was there”.
