This section explains how the resources identified in Section 2 will be used to deliver outputs and administered items to contribute to the outcome for the Sydney Harbour Federation Trust (Harbour Trust).

3.1: SUMMARY OF OUTCOMES AND CONTRIBUTION TO OUTCOMES

The relationship between activities of the Harbour Trust and the outcomes is summarised in Figure 4.
