The development would include extending the existing cruise wharf to accommodate ships up to 370 metres long.
The modification also seeks to remove the current limitation of 60 cruise visits per year.
The works would also include construction of a fixed passenger access walkway running alongside the wharf extension, which the Port Authority of NSW says will 'facilitate improved passenger movements' from larger cruise ships.
The Breakwater Wharf is considered a state significant development.
The new modification application has been received by the Department of Planning and Environment and was posted for public exhibition on Wednesday, September 27.
The exhibition phase will run until Tuesday, October 24
