City of Sydney draft scaffolding policy
The City of Sydney has released a draft hoardings and scaffoldings policy and guidelines.
The policy outlines minimum requirements for the design, installation and maintenance for scaffolding in the city.
The main aims are to:
- Provide practical guidelines for the design and placement of temporary structures in a public place
- Minimise impacts of construction and maintenance activity on the city environment including impacts on pedestrian amenity and safe movement
- Improve the design quality and appearance of hoardings and scaffolding systems through the use of artwork, high quality images and colours
- Facilitate the use of green wall (vegetated) hoardings and the projection of digital images on scaffolding construction wraps.
The draft policy is on exhibition until Wednesday 8 October 2014.
