Would you like to submit any specific feedback on the proposals within Cockatoo Island / Wareamah Draft Master Plan?

Please consider to make tree planting more informal, in groups or random just like its native setting in Australia. Formal linear, avenue or grid layout planting is very White European 'Colonalist' approach and must not be repeated on this island. These planting layouts also not suitable to the Sydney Harbour landscape. For Section 7.3 Building Removal Plan, my question is why removal of B92 and B93? It was a rundown building successfully hosted some of the most provoking artworks during Biennale of Sydney 2008. With the character of fine-grained, are nooks and crannies, cracks and broken part as qualities of the Island being taken into consideration?
