Cockatoo Island - Kimberley Development Commission

Cockatoo Island has a colourful history, having been both a hub of iron ore mining activity for 70 years and, for a short time, a playground for WA’s business and political elite with the high-end Cockatoo Island Resort. With Cockatoo Island Mining receiving approval to acquire the mining leases in 2021 and a group of local businesspeople reviving the resort, Cockatoo Island is again bustling with activity.
