Commuter Car Park Mt DruittVisual Impact Assessment ReportView 4View north-westacross site fromcorner of North Paradeand Mount StreetVisual AmenityVisual SensitivityMagnitude of VisualEffectsVisual ImpactMitigation StrategyThe subject site exists as vacant land with remnant building structure of lowvisual quality. Semi-mature trees within the Mount Street median and verge arehighly visible and feature in the view. The view of the site is contained by MtDruitt Court House and the Centrelink building which being blue in colour isvisually prominent.View sensitivity: the car park will be highly visible due to its proximity to NorthParade and Mount Street as well as the absence of existing screen plantingalong the road frontage.Receptor sensitivity: moderate - views from Mount Street public realm – road orfootpath – will be temporary and the proposed car park is compatible infunction with fringe Town Centre activity.The composition of the view will change with the addition of the car park whichwill be highly visible from Mount Street. The car park will reduce visibility of theCourt House and Centrelink building. There will be light spill from the car parkas it will be in operation 24 hrs/day, 7 days/week.The car park scale does not exceed the scale of surrounding buildings and willreinforce the built form edge along Mount Street.The visual impact will be positive. The car park will occupy a vacant site of poorvisual quality. The building will complement the scale and massing ofsurrounding buildings and its function will be compatible with surrounding landuses. The car park will also better define and activate the built edge alongMount Street.To further integrate the car park with the surrounding area and ensure the carpark complements the visual character of its setting the car park design willinclude the following:Built Form – simple and functional with minimal embellishment of the façade.The car park will incorporate a high degree of transparency. Neutral colours andtones will complement neighbouring built structures and reduce the visualprominence of the Centrelink building.Landscape design – existing semi-mature trees will be retained; an upgraded,wider footpath will be provided and a 10.4 metre wide strip of planting along theMount Street frontage will be incorporated which will enhance the streetscape.Lighting design – to comply with AS4282 Control of the Obtrusive Effect ofOutdoor Lighting.Refer to Section 6 – Proposals for Mitigation of Visual ImpactsR-VisualImpactAssessment-23Nov10 Final.docStatus:- FINALPage 36 of 42
