SH 10 - Pacific Highway : Ross Lane to Bangalow : strategic concept design : visual and landscape evaluation

This evaluation has been carried out to briefly assess the landscape/environmental implications and likely impacts of the proposed reconstruction of the Pacific Highway from Ross Lane to Bangalow. It also describe strategies by which impacts may be reduced for the integration of the road corridor with the surrounding landscape. The landscape within the study area between Ross Lane and Bangalow was assessed for its intrinsic characteristics, its prominence and its capacity to absorb the proposed highway widening. This report deals with the broad landscape/environmental impacts associated with the proposed highway reconstruction. It also recommends the preferred route location based upon the existing landscape/environmental constraints and opportunities within the study area.

本评估旨在简要评估拟对太平洋公路（Pacific Highway）罗斯巷至班加洛段实施重建项目所产生的景观与环境影响及潜在后果。同时，本报告还阐述了可降低此类影响的相关策略，以推动道路廊道与周边景观的融合协调。研究团队针对罗斯巷至班加洛路段研究区域内的景观，从固有特征、景观醒目程度以及承载拟议公路拓宽工程的能力三个维度进行了系统评估。本报告围绕拟议公路重建项目相关的宏观景观与环境影响展开分析，并基于研究区域内现有的景观与环境约束条件及发展机遇，推荐最优路线选址方案。
