DEVELOPING DIGITAL TOOLS FOR PLANNING, COORDINATION AND VISUALISATION OF DATA AND DESIGNS FOR DARWIN MIDDLE ARM

Resumen

The Darwin Middle Arm Sustainable Development Precinct (MASDP) is a Whole of Government Project led by the Northern Territory (NT) Department of Infrastructure, Planning and Logistics (DIPL). Royal HaskoningDHV (RHDHV) has been working with DIPL on the maritime infrastructure design elements of the Precinct and has also been assisting with environmental planning and approvals. The communication of complex planning, design, environmental and commercial factors to various nontechnical stakeholders is a significant challenge for major infrastructure projects like MASDP. Digital tools, including online Geospatial Information Systems (GIS) and 3D Visualisation/Building Information Modelling (BIM) modelling software, have been utilised for effective management and communication of planning and design information.
