L17. Consider strategies to minimise noise and light pollution
Mitigating noise and light pollution in urban development for wildlife conservation
Design and construction of infrastructure and public realm projects often culminates in noise and light pollution impacts on the surrounding community. This can result in physiological alterations to wildlife that co-habitate these environments. The National Light Pollution Guidelines for Wildlife provides guidance and strategies to reduce the impacts of noise and light pollution on fauna species, including birds and insects, which reside in urban environments.
