The acoustic report submitted with the previous application is deemed to be acceptable and can be
conditioned to ensure the current development achieves compliance. A road and rail noise
assessment was conducted for the proposal. Rail traffic noise was assessed from Sunshine Coast Line
(Nambour and Gympie North). And Road traffic noise was assessed from Cooroy Connection Road
(Elm Street) onto the proposed development.

The results and recommendations of the assessment are as follows:

    -    Acoustic barrier for the full length of Cooroy Connection Road;
    -    Constructions materials and standards; and
    -    Mechanical ventilation in accordance with MP4.4 and the Building Code of Australia.

The height of the Acoustic barrier for the full length of Cooroy Connection Road is considered
excessive and visually intrusive. As was conditioned in the previous development approval the
acoustic barrier should not exceed 2.1m.
