Overview

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.
