The main focus of this research is to conduct a comparative cost/benefit assessment of noise amelioration by means of alternative treatments outside the road reserve compared with the present pactice of treatment within the road reserve. The project aims to foster a full range noise abatement strategy encompassing source, path and noise receiver. The benefit of such a study would be to mitigate the problem where it is most effective and would defuse traditional 'authority' boundaries to produce the optimum outcome. The final project report is confidential and not available |
