residents on Bottlebrush Avenue.
11. The development must be undertaken in accordance with the recommendations of the
Acoustic Report prepared by ATP Consulting Engineers (Reference ATP150314-NIA-
02) dated 24 June 2015 and ATP’s addendum letters dated 9 October 2015 and 10
December 2015.
12. The 2.6m acoustic fence recommended by the approved Acoustic Report must be
erected within 3 months of this approval taking effect. The fence must meet the
construction standards required by the approved Acoustic Report.
13. Noise emissions from any new mechanical equipment associated with the development
shall comply with the following requirements:
13.1. Air-conditioning and Refrigeration
7am to 10pm: Background + 5dB(A)
10pm to 7am: Background + 3dB(A)
14. Written certification must be submitted from a suitably qualified person confirming noise
levels from any new mechanical equipment comply when measured at either the
residential boundary or outside the most exposed part of an affected building,
whichever is the closest to the equipment.
The assessment and certification is required immediately after installation of the
equipment and in a format approved by Council. All equipment should be operating at
the same time to test the overall noise level created.
Advice: It is highly recommended the person you engage to certify the installation is
involved prior to installation of any equipment so they can recommend where
equipment is best located. They can also advise about noise enclosures and make
other suggestions to avoid noise problems. It is a lot more costly to try and deal with
noise problems after installation.

Bottlebrush Avenue side of the new acoustic fence for its full length to visually screen
the fence.
