Open Roads makes way for Penguin Parade at Phillip Island Nature Parks

摘要

Tract Consultants Expand Trails for Eco-Tourists, Using OpenRoads to Balance Viewing Experiences and Habitat Preservation against Construction Costs Just 90 minutes from Melbourne, Australia's most popular penguins attract more than 600,000 visitors annually from all over the world. The daily Penguin Parade on Victoria's Phillip Island is both a natural treasure and anicon for tourism. To enhance the visitor experience and increase domestic and international visitation, the Phillip Island Nature Parks asked Tract Consultants to execute phase one of a master plan that would expand the island's network of trailways and viewing areas. Tract used Bentley's OpenRoads civil design software to create a trail system that provided unprecedented views without impinging upon the habitat of Little Penguins and other native wildlife. The AUD 2.8 million project won multiple awards for seamlessly achieving these economic and ecological goals.
