Noise wall design guideline : design guideline to improve the appearance of noise walls in NSW / Urban Design Roads and Waterways, Transport for NSW

"This updated guideline, published as part of the Beyond the Pavement initiative, addresses the issue of noise wall design and its effect on the community, customers and landscape of NSW. TfNSW has a commitment to good infrastructure design, including the element of noise walls along its transport corridors ... This document sets down objectives, principles and detailed guidelines that will lead to well designed and cost-effective noise walls. It encourages a design approach that is considerate of the character of the transport corridor, its context and the views to and from it and the interests of the community and travellers. It stresses the importance of maintenance and the need for simple, robust designs. Above all,it leads to a balanced approach to design so that noise walls are not just utilitarian noise reduction measures but also fit sensitively into their context and are attractive elements in their own right." -- Page 2.
