FIA Integrated Visual Design Standards

The intent of an Integrated Visual Design Plan is to provide long-term direction for the development of the timber resources for an area of 5,000 hectares or less in a manner consistent with higher-level planning direction and respectful of other resource values. Integrated Visual Design (IVD) employs a process that considers all resource values simultaneously in an integrated fashion. It is applied in both the plan and perspective view so as to address visual quality concerns while optimising harvest opportunities in visually sensitive areas.
