1.0      INTRODUCTION

         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.

         The development is proposed for a site generally described as the south western corner of

         site is located near an existing small retail facility.
