Visual impact assessments
Pacific Infrastructure Group prepares visual impact assessments for development and infrastructure proposals. We examine landscape context, visibility and affected viewpoints, using visual evidence to assess effects and consider ways the design can respond.
Understand how a proposal will be seen.
Visual effects depend on the setting, the people viewing it and the relationship between the proposal and its surroundings. Pacific brings those considerations into the assessment, identifying relevant viewpoints and preparing evidence to explain the potential change. We connect the findings with design responses so the project team and decision-makers can understand both the effects and the measures proposed to address them.
What we do
Our capabilities
Our work connects landscape context, viewpoints and visual evidence with the assessment of the proposal.
Landscape context
We examine the setting and characteristics relevant to the visual assessment. This establishes the context in which the proposal will be seen and the relationships that need to be considered.
Viewpoint selection
We identify viewpoints and viewing conditions relevant to understanding the proposal’s effects. A clear selection basis helps the team understand what the visual evidence represents.
Visual evidence
We prepare and interpret visual material, including photomontages where required, to communicate the proposed change. The evidence gives the assessment and design discussion a shared point of reference.
Design response
We assess measures that could reduce or respond to identified visual effects. Linking these considerations to the proposal helps the team evaluate adjustments and explain the preferred approach.
What you receive
Deliverables
Visual assessment outputs should make the proposed change, its context and the basis of the findings clear.
An account of the setting, viewpoints, potential visual effects and responses considered. It explains the basis of the assessment for the project team and decision-makers.
Viewpoint records and photomontages where included in the scope. They help communicate the relationship between the existing setting and the proposed development.
Recommendations for responding to identified effects through the design. They support comparison of adjustments and coordination with planning, landscape and other disciplines.

Value for your project
Change made understandable
Use visual evidence to communicate how the proposal relates to its surroundings.
A clear assessment basis
Explain the viewpoints and context behind the findings so the reasoning can be understood.
Findings connected to design
Consider practical responses while the proposal can still be refined.
