M2 Macquarie Park Art Installation – Visual Impact Assessment Report 1
01 Introduction
Transurban, the operator of The Hills M2 motorway, is planning to restore a degraded roadside area adjacent to the M2 motorway at Macquarie Park that was used as a construction site during an upgrade of the motorway in 2012. The site is located opposite the Herring Road intersection with the M2 and is bounded by Khartoum Road to the east, Shrimpton’s Creek to the west and Lane Cove National Park to the north.
The main aspect of the restoration involves minor modifications and revegetation with native bushland species to restore ecological integrity to this parcel of land adjoining the National Park. To achieve this Transurban has partnered with Landcare Australia to carry out the ecological restoration of the site.
In conjunction with the ecological restoration Transurban are also planning to incorporate an iconic art installation that makes a positive and memorable contribution to the motorway landscape and local community of Macquarie Park.
This report has been prepared as part of a Review of Environmental Factors (REF) for the proposed works to assess the visual impact of the public art installation and the associated site improvements.
02 Methodology
The visual impact assessment has been undertaken in accordance with the methodology described in Roads & Maritime Services (RMS) Environmental Impact Assessment Practice Note EIA-N04 – Guideline for Landscape Character and Visual Impact Assessment (Version 2-0, 2013), Section 6.
The tasks required for the assessment are broadly as outlined below:
•Ā Describe design proposal and associated works
•Ā Describe existing site conditions and context
•Ā Assess visibility of proposal and identify key viewpoints
•Ā Assess visual impacts •Ā Summarise findings and impact mitigation strategies (if required)
03 Site Context
The Macquarie Park site is an area in the order of 8ha located opposite the Herring Road off-ramp immediately to the north of the M2 motorway, between Khartoum Road to the east, Christie Road to the west and Lane Cove National Park along the northern boundary. Immediately to the south of the motorway is the Macquarie Park commercial precinct and Macquarie University campus. To the east is a medium density residential precinct serviced by Khartoum Road and Fontenoy Road.
Part of the overall site was used as a construction compound as part of the motorway upgrade in 2013. This was an area of approximately 1 hectare, adjoining the motorway that was cleared, filled and leveled to facilitate construction support activity. The margins of the compound comprise relatively steep embankments with relatively heavy weed infestation. The wider 8ha site also carries significant weed cover in the understory layers.

On completion of the motorway upgrade works, the compound site appears to have been cultivated, topsoiled and seeded as part of a revegetation process. The entire site drains into the Lane Cove River that occurs a few hundred metres to the north.

04 Proposed Site Improvements
There are two main aspects to the proposed site improvements. The first involves rehabilitation of the site to re-establish native bushland plant communities and the second is the installation of a landmark artwork.
04.1 Site Rehabilitation The site rehabilitation work will be undertaken by Landcare Australia generally seeks to achieve the following objectives:
•Ā Rehabilitate the M2 Macquarie Park Motorscapes Project site of approximately 5 ha improve native bushland condition and ecological functionality;
•Ā Reduce current off-site impacts on adjoining properties, particularly Lane Cove National Park, through weed control, revegetation, vertebrate pest management, creek riparian zone stability and improvements to site drainage;
•Ā Introduce an indigenous vegetation community comprising Hornsby Enriched Sandston Exposed Woodland and appropriate selected species of the STIF critically endangered ecological community;
•Ā Establish and protect bushland vegetation communities, inclusive of a healthy groundcover stratum as a natural stabiliser of the soil surface through an intensive maintenance programme;
•Ā Improve water quality in Shrimptons and Industrial Creeks which drain the site;
•Ā Manage known areas of soil contamination;
•Ā Undertake community engagement activities;
•Ā Complete the majority of works within 12 months; and
•Ā Deliver the works safely and cost effectively.
Further details of the site landscape and rehabilitation works will be developed in conjunction with detailed design development of the preferred artwork installation, in order to achieve a co-ordinated design outcome and spatial setting for the artwork. Further consideration will also be given to relocating two large existing motorway advisory signs on the northern edge of the eastbound carriageway.
04.2 Artwork Installation In relation to the artwork installation, Transurban are in the process of further evaluation of a preferred artwork that was selected following an ideas competition for the site. The competition was run in October and November of 2015 and sought ideas from designers and artists that showcased innovative solutions that could demonstrate ecological, social and economic sustainability and that were both meaningful and relevant to the setting and could also be readily implemented. Figure 2. shows the general site structure approach and preferred location for the artwork installation.
The general site for the artwork has been selected to maximize visibility from the motorway for eastbound and westbound motorists. The site nominated is approximately 50 metres long by 15metres wide and is set back approximately 5metres from the top of the existing drainage swale embankment running along the northern edge of the motorway.

04.3 Preferred Artwork Selection The outcome of the ideas competition was the selection of three preferred ideas, which then went through a further feasibility assessment prepared by Urban Art Projects (UAP) for Transurban that considered materials and finishes, structural feasibility, fabrication and installation issues, anticipated maintenance requirements and cost. From this process one, ‘Kinetica’ (refer Figure 4 below) was selected as the preferred option. However, for the purposes of this visual impact assessment, all three of the proposed ideas were considered. The UAP Feasibility Study incorporating details of all the three preferred ideas is included in Appendix A. Details of the three original submissions are also included in Appendix B.

An extract from from the UAP Feasibility Study of the preferred artwork ‘Kinetica’ is provided below to further explain the artwork and provide a summary description of matters considered by the feasibility study.
‘Concept Design Intent A playful graphic narrative of the Australian flora on scale, depicting the cycle of nature. Bold in scale and colour Kinetica will have a visual presence in the landscape.
Recommended Materials and Finishes •Ā Laser cut corten steel, laser cut aluminium plate
•Ā Automotive/Powdercoat exterior grade paint finish
•Ā Mechanical fixings, motor for Waratah element.
•Ā Solar panels & LED lighting fixtures
Structure The structural delivery of the work deemed feasible. The visual aesthetic of the concept will continue to develop significantly in future phases, however because the basis for this design is a 2d graphic image, this development is expected to help preserve and improve the original visual intent rather than challenge it.
Fabrication & Installation Conceptually based around movement, the proposal of moving elements is deemed to be not appropriate based on cost and maintenance implications and visibility given the speed of most artwork viewers. Some movement can be retained, but can be reduced and simplified. Initial concept included identical elements on rear facing artwork, this is not recommended, due to lack of sight lines.
Anticipated Maintenance •Ā Annual inspection for structure and moving parts
•Ā Recommended re-paint on site after 15-year period
•Ā Recommended refurb of moving parts on 10-year cycle
•Ā Annual cleaning recommended ‘ The installation would include approximately nine individual sculptures ranging from approximately 2 metres to 10.5 metres tall and will be illuminated for night time effect and visual interest. The artwork proposal is essentially, a conceptual idea at this time and is subject to further detail design development and site planning considerations in relation to sight lines from the M2 motorway and other road safety considerations.

05 Visibility of Proposal and Key Viewpoints
The visibility of the site is the extent of adjoining areas that the proposal will be visible from, this is illustrated in the Visual Envelope Map in Figure 8 below. The project site is primarily visible from the M2 motorway and partially visible from the upper floors of a number of commercial buildings and serviced apartments located to the south of the motorway and a medium density residential precinct adjoining the north eastern boundary.
In relation to the commercial properties south of the motorway, access to these properties was not possible, however it is likely that views from the upper floors (the site is not visible from street level) would be dominated in the foreground by the M2 motorway, tolling gantries, road signage, lighting and the constant traffic on the motorway with background views over Land Cove National Park and the suburb of West Pymble to the north. These facilities are reasonably well screened from the motorway by existing vegetation and, over time, it is anticipated that views of the site from these buildings will further diminish as constructed landscape buffer zones between these buildings and the motorway mature.
Figure 8 Visual Envelope Map & Key Viewpoint Locations
M2 Macquarie Park Art Installation – Visual Impact Assessment Report 9
The medium density residential precinct adjoining the site to the north east consists primarily of three storey apartment buildings serviced by Khartoum Road, Leisure Close, Durham Close and Carlisle Close. The artwork installation site is not visible from these properties areas due to extensive vegetation cover. However, the north eastern areas of the site, including Industrial Creek, adjoining the residential boundary will be visible from the perimeter driveway of the apartment complex accessed from Leisure Close and the apartments facing the project site. These areas will be subject to site rehabilitation works including, primarily, creek bank stabilization, weed removal and revegetation.
There are two key viewpoints that have been identified for impact assessment, both of these are from the motorway, one from the eastbound carriageway and one from the westbound carriageway. This project is somewhat different from most that undergo a visual impact assessment as the whole intention is to provide a landmark artwork installation that requires maximum visibility for the most number of viewers possible in order for a meaningful and successful outcome to be achieved.
06 Visual Impact Assessment The visual impact of the proposal is determined by evaluating the sensitivity to change of the view and the magnitude of the proposal in that view.
Magnitude is the expression of change in a view created by the interaction between the proposal and the existing environment. Assessment issues include:
-Ā changes to landform; -Ā changes to vegetation patterns; -Ā the nature, density and scale of existing attributes and proposed works.
Visual sensitivity depends on a range of user group characteristics and the author’s knowledge or public perception of the quality of particular land uses and landscape settings. Characteristics considered in this assessment include:
-Ā the perceived cultural value of the visual environment and elements within it; -Ā user groups (residents, workers, motorists); -Ā frequency (the number of viewers or the frequency of views for an individual); -Ā duration of views, and -Ā the distance of the proposed works from viewers.
The visual impact is calculated using the landscape character and visual impact grading matrix provided in RMS Practice Note EIA–N04 (refer Figure 9 below).

Viewpoint 01: View from westbound carriageway
Viewpoint 01 depicts the motorist view on the westbound carriageway approaching the Herring Road exit to Talavera Road. Two images are indicated, image 01a, which is approximately 300 metres from the site, and image 01 b, which is about 150 metres from the site. The viewpoints are consistent with a typical motorway landscape of continual traffic movement, noise walls, motorway signage and various landscapes each side of the motorway.
Viewpoint Magnitude Sensitivity Impact
O1 Low The magnitude of the landscape rehabilitation works in these views will be minor given the extensive vegetation cover in the views. The rehabilitations works proposed beyond the extent of the old compound site will not be visible. Similarly the magnitude of the artwork envelope is generally consistent with typical motorway landscapes that include various roadside structures, signage and road furniture
Low High volume and with short duration views are experienced by motorway users. There is low sensitivity to change, as the background views of vegetation will remain constant.

Minor visual impacts
Other visual impacts associated with the project are primarily related to the construction phase of the project, and directly related to site disturbance, providing construction access from the motorway and weed removal throughout the site. The site will be fenced off from the motorway and therefore the construction activity on the old construction compound site will be largely screened from view. The majority of work being undertaken here is related to site revegetation, all of which will provide a significant visual improvement over the existing prevailing site conditions.
At the north eastern corner of the site, the rehabilitation works will involve removal of exotic weeds, creek bank stabilisation works, mulching and planting of indigenous species as part of the revegetation process. Existing native trees and understorey plants will be retained and protected. The majority of exotic vegetation removal occurs in the ground storey layer. The removal alone of the extensive weed cover and installation of a mulch layer will provide a significant visual improvement, which will be further improved by planting of indigenous species throughout the rehabilitation areas.
Overall visual impact
The proposed works to the M2 Macquarie Park site are considered to be generally consistent with the overall M2 Motorway landscape.
The proposed landscape and bushland regeneration works will significantly improve the visual amenity of the site through simply restoring vegetation cover that once existed and so, there is no negative visual impact, only a positive one.
In terms of the artwork installation, there will be an impact to existing views from the motorway, however the scale and magnitude of the selected preferred artwork, as well as the two other preferred artworks is considered to be consistent with the scale and frequency of various roadside infrastructure elements and structures. As with the site restoration works, it is considered that there will be no appreciable negative impacts, only a positive one.

07 Summary
The site regeneration and artwork installation will only bring positive outcomes for the overall motorway landscape and wider community.
An important consideration for on-going design development of the selected artwork, is further assessment of the location on site in relation to sightlines into the site and setbacks from the motorway along with resolution of the overall scale and detailing of the installation and the selection of plant species and surface finishes around the final installation. It will need to be of a scale that will enable it become a memorable landmark along the motorway. There is a risk that the artwork, if not of a suitable scale, could become lost within the landscape and the scale of the motorway and the various motorway infrastructure elements that exist within the road corridor.
It is recommended that additional design studies been developed to test the visibility and presence of the final selected artwork, through a series of photomontages and models, to ensure that the right balance is achieved to enable the installation to be appreciated in a meaningful way and without any road safety impacts. This should also consider relocation of the two existing roadside advisory signs, which in their current location will impede views of the artwork.
