O'Keefe had a major part in obtaining, to help restore the property. Visitation to Woodford Academy increased 600 per cent in 2013/14 due largely to a widely expanded programme of events showcasing local artists, performers and historians and partnerships in local events. New primary and high school programmes have been launched, museum displays have been updated, the dining hall repainted, sandstone re-laid on the front verandah and external timberwork repaired. A lively new volunteer team at Woodford Academy have turned the fortunes of the property around from 2013–2015, also making it a centre for Blue Mountains artistic innovation.
