Table 2.2 Background Creep Criteria
Criteria*
Period Objective
(LAeq,adj,T)
Day 55
Background noise level (LA90,T) + 5dB(A)
(7:00am to 6:00pm) (50 + 5)
Evening 50
Background noise level (LA90,T) + 5dB(A)
(6:00pm to 10:00pm) (45 + 5)
Night 45
Background noise level (LA90,T) + 5dB(A)
(10:00pm to 7:00am) (40 + 5)
*Considering background noise levels corresponding with noise area category R3 from AS1055.3-1997
The most conservative noise criteria is the acoustic amenity criteria presented in Table 2.1. The
noise criteria is applied at the most exposed façade of the nearest noise sensitive places, which
are the Bottlebrush Townhouses at No. 1 Bottlebrush Avenue.
3. Noise Propagation Modelling
The SoundPLAN noise propagation model was modified as follows:
Height of the acoustic fence on the north-eastern boundary of the café was reduced to 2.0
metres.
Receivers were located at the first and second floor balconies of the nearest unit at No. 1
Bottlebrush Avenue, instead of on the footpath.
All other features of the model remain unchanged from the original noise impact
assessment.
The calculated noise levels at the nearest apartments at No. 1 Bottlebrush Avenue, considering
patron and music noise emissions from Village Bicycle café when operating at full occupancy (1-
hour period of highest noise), are presented in Table 3.1 and Appendix A.
