                                                   NOISE LIMITS AT A SENSITIVE RECEPTOR
                                             (Excludes On-Site Ancillary Dwelling Unit – Caretakers Unit)

                                PERIOD             Noise level at noise sensitive place measured as the
                                                   adjusted maximum sound pressure level (Lamax, adj,T)

                                7am – 6pm          Background noise level (LAbg,T) plus 5 dB(A)

                                6pm – 10pm         Background noise level plus 5 dB(A)

                                10pm – 7am         Inaudible

                                                    NOISE LEVELS AT COMMERCIAL PLACE

                                PERIOD             Noise level at a commercial place measured as the adjusted
                                                   maximum sound pressure level (Lamax, adj,T)

                                7am – 6pm          Background noise level (LAbg,T) plus 10 dB(A)

                                6pm – 10pm         Background noise level plus10 dB(A)

                                10pm – 7am         Background noise level plus 8 dB(A)

                      22.     When requested by Noosa Council, a Noise Impact Assessment Report (NIAR)
                              showing monitoring and recording of noise levels must be undertaken to
                              investigate any non-vexatious complaint caused by noise emissions from
                              operations at the premises. Such monitoring must be undertaken and completed
                              within a reasonable and practicable timeframe as nominated by council and be
                              performed by a suitably qualified and experienced person.
                              The NIAR must be submitted to Council detailing the results of such monitoring
                              and recommendations for any measures to achieve compliance with limits outlined
                              in Table 1 of this Decision Notice.
                      23.     Measurement of sound pressure levels (adjusted for tonality and impulse) must be
                              in accordance with Australian Standard AS1055.1 “Acoustics – Description and
                              measurement of environmental noise – General procedures”.
                              For the purpose of measuring and certifying relevant noise conditions and
                              reporting (eg. mechanical plant and equipment, a/c units, motors, refrigeration
                              equipment, compressors, pumps etc ), a suitably qualified person is either:
                              a.       a Registered Professional Engineer of Queensland, or
                              b.       an environmental consultant with a minimum of 3 years current experience in
                                       the field of acoustics.
                              Outdoor Lighting Devices
                      24.     Lighting associated with the use must be designed, sited, installed and tested to
                              comply with Table 2.1 & 2.2 of Australian Standard AS4282-1997 “Control of the
                              obtrusive effects of outdoor lighting” using a control level of 1.
