Hurstville REF - Transport for NSW - NSW Government

The visual landscape surrounding the proposed site includes the Eastern Suburbs and IllawarraLine and associated overhead power lines. There is vegetation lining the southern fence of therail corridor.Residential dwellings are about 80 metres away on Woniora Road.Potential ImpactsDuring construction the visual environment will be temporarily altered through the presence oftemporary work buildings, plant and equipment, such as trucks.While the site is operational, a new 10 metre high monopole will be introduced into the visualenvironment. The DTRS cabinet will be located within the Apparatus Room 40 metres northwestof Outdoor Location 2 and the DBS/power cabinet will be located within the west portal ofthe Hurstville Station Tunnel and will therefore not be visible to the public. The DBS/powercabinet will be located within the portal and surrounded by a retaining wall and will also be outof site of the public. The Yagi antennas that are proposed to be mounted to the west end portalof the tunnel will be of similar colour to the tunnel.A photomontage of the new monopole at Outdoor Location 2 is provided as a guide in Figure 5.Visually sensitive receivers in the vicinity of the site include the residential dwellings on WonioraRoad located approximately 80 metres to the southwest of the site. There are tall commercialbuildings and an area of mature trees that line the railway corridor which will block the view ofthe proposed monopole from these receivers.The new monopole will be 10 metres in height and will be visually similar to the existingoverhead power lines and infrastructure within the railway corridor.The potential visual impact of the proposal is considered to be low.Page 47 of 75
