Future land uses and development precincts By introducing additional traffic capacity throughout the city centre the proposal would benefit the future development of the key Access Strategy projects (refer to section 2.1) and the development precincts identified in Table 6-32.

Supplementary information is provided in Appendix I. 6.6.1 Method Study area The assessment considered the predicted changes in landscape character and visual impacts throughout the five precincts shown on Figure 1-1. Regional landscape characteristics were also used to describe the existing environment. Method and assessment criteria The landscape character and visual impact assessment was undertaken in accordance with: The Guidelines for Landscape Character and Visual Impact Assessment (EIA- N04) (Roads and Maritime, 2013) Australian Standard (AS) 4282-1997 Control of the Obtrusive Effects of Outdoor Lighting (Australian Standards, 1997). The assessment: Characterised the existing regional and local landscape and streetscape character Determined regional visual characteristics and the study area’s local visual context and setting Defined the visual envelope, which represents the theoretical limit from where the proposal would be visible Determined the sensitivity of landscape character and visual environment to the changes that would occur as a result of constructing and introducing the proposal into the study area Sydney City Centre Capacity Improvement 334 Review of Environmental Factors

Land use zoning and development control planning<br />
The proposal would:<br />
Not impact on the objectives or development controls set for each land use<br />
zone, precinct or special character area (refer to section 4.2)<br />
Benefit the transport zoning priorities established under the Access Strategy by<br />
optimising traffic movement throughout the <strong>city</strong> <strong>centre</strong> (refer to section 2.1 and<br />
section 6.1).<br />
