PHOTOMONTAGES

Photomontages illustrate a proposed development within a photo of an existing view.  This visual tool is used to illustrate various development scenarios that inform stakeholders and authorities about the visual impact of a potential development. 

Features:

  • Accurate Imagery: Photomontages are prepared using advanced modelling techniques to ensure the imagery is accurate

  • Survey Verification: Information is validated by an on-site surveyor 

  • Versatile Application: Utilised in the preparation of visual impact assessments for development applications, environmental impact assessments, development appeals, as evidence for cases in court and much more

  • Compliant: All photomontages are prepared in accordance with the relevant planning authority policy (see the NSW Land and Environment Court Policy here).

Scope of work:

  1. Initial Consultation: Understand the project and gather necessary information

  2. View Assessment: Evaluate viewpoints to identify potential impacts

  3. Liaise with Authorities: Coordinate a site visit with planning authorities

  4. Site Visit: Capture photos from surrounding properties with on-site surveyor

  5. Photomontage Preparation: Create accurate and legible photomontages

  6. Incorporation of Feedback: Client feedback addressed in presentation 

  7. Presentation of Scenarios: Final presentation illustrates a variety of development scenarios, tailored to the project. 

DIGITAL MONTAGES

Digital montages illustrate a proposed development within an image of 3D satellite imagery. The perspective shown in the image utilises survey information to replicate a view from either a property or the public domain.

Features:

  • Efficient: A simpler and faster process than photomontages

  • Accessible: Allow clients to estimate the impacts of a development on views from the surrounding properties or public domain without needing to gain access to these areas

  • Early-Stage Application: Utilised in the early stages of a development project or for the preparation of visual impact assessments for development applications.

Scope of work:

  1. Initial Consultation: Understand the project and gather necessary information 

  2. 3D Context Model: A model is created using 3d satellite imagery

  3. Digital Montage Preparation: Create accurate and legible digital montages

  4. Incorporation of Feedback: Client feedback addressed in presentation 

  5. Presentation of Scenarios: Final presentation illustrates a variety of development scenarios, tailored to the project.
