The visual impacts experienced during construction can be generally grouped as
follows:
High-moderate adverse temporary impacts would occur in locations where the
streets are generally narrower and contained, framed by more sensitive
buildings, including heritage-listed buildings, and the works would be large
scale taking place for typically longer than one month
Moderate and moderate-to-low adverse temporary impacts would occur in
locations where the streets are still narrow and contained however the adjacent
receivers are less sensitive to change.
Night time works and light spill impacts during construction
The proposal to work ‘out of hours’ (refer to section 3.3.3) would mean that certain
activities would be undertaken at night. This would require the use of additional highpowered
construction lighting. The specific lighting requirements would depend on
the extent of night works, the type of activity being undertaken and the construction
staging; all factors that would be determined by the construction contractor.
Whilst ambient light levels in the city centre are higher than many other locations in
NSW, and potentially exceed the two lux limit set in Table 6-38, the introduction of
high-intensity white light would potentially create additive light-spill impacts to local
receivers or impact on a greater number of receivers. Again, the impact would
depend on the receiver-type with residences potentially more sensitive to such
impacts than public buildings, public spaces, heritage items and key businesses. This
of course would depend on whether other receiver types are occupied or lit at night.
