                                               EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

         Blue Care are proposing to establish an integrated Aged Care Precinct on a site located on the
         corner of Ben Lexcen Drive and Grass Tree Court, Sunrise Beach. The site locality is shown
         on Sketch 1. Palmer Acoustics (Australia) Pty Ltd has been commissioned by Blue Care to
         complete a noise impact assessment addressing noise issues associated with the development.
         The report aims to address:

                  Noise intrusion onto the facility from nearby traffic infrastructure ; and
                  Noise emission from the facility onto neighbouring noise sensitive locations.

         This report has been prepared in accordance with the relevant codes of the Sunshine Coast
         Regional Council, Noosa Division.


         Based on the measurements and predictions presented, the following conclusions can be
         drawn:

          Road traffic Noise from Ben Lexcen Drive will impact on to the most affected facades of
           the development at levels up to 57 dB LA10 18 hr :
          With the inclusion of an acoustic barrier fence internal traffic noise levels impacts onto
           adjacent residents can be controlled to be below ambient levels.; and
          The site is not affected by noise intrusion from the adjacent church.



         To ensure compliance with the requirements of The Sunshine Coast Regional Council for the
         control of noise intrusion and emission the following is recommended:

             An acoustic barrier fence be incorporated in to the development as indicated on Sketch 2.
