Erect screening and hoardings

where viable
Implement a maintenance

For minor work sites consider

possible
Use directional light sources

Use low luminescence lighting
lights where feasible to reduce
the lateral light spill
Shield the top of all site
lighting to prevent any upward
light glare
Remove any lighting conflict
with the general street lighting
to prevent the risk of motorists
becoming disorientated or
distracted
Consult with City of Sydney to
agree the hours when outdoor
lighting can be used at night to
service the works sites and
manage this through the
CEMP
Visual impacts
during
construction at
sensitive
locations
Implement additional visual
controls at the more visually
sensitive locations
Use sensitive screenings and
hoardings around these sites,
potentially involving printed
artwork or backdrops of the
adjacent buildings or low-level
bollards where applicable
