                     4.2.2    Carpark Exhausts and Other Pumps
                     The general criteria in Section 2.3 and the measured ambient noise levels in
                     Section 3 provide site-specific criteria for noise from pumps as shown in Table 4.
                     Table 4 Site-Specific Criteria for Pumps

                                               General Criterion                  Measured      Site-

                      7 am-7 pm                ≤ background level LA90 + 5dB(A)   36 dB         36 + 5 =

                     Air conditioning and mechanical plant has not yet been specified for the project.
                     However, it is envisaged that the criteria will be readily achieved with due attention
                     during the detailed design stage of the project.


5 Conclusion and Summary of Recommendations

                     Medicentre Property Pty Ltd to assess potential noise impacts associated with a
                     medical centre proposed for construction at 52-58 Goodchap Street, Noosaville.
                     Noise sources associated with the proposed development potentially impacting on
                     surrounding residences include vehicle noise and mechanical plant.
                     The proposal has been designed to require no development traffic on Val
                     Crescent.
                     Car parking noise will be reduced to acceptable levels through the use of noise
                     barriers and, in the case of the lower (Val Crescent) level carpark, eliminated by
                     completely enclosing the carpark.
                     Mechanical plant will require further assessment during the detailed design phase
                     of the project. However, it is envisaged that achieving the nominated criteria will
                     not be difficult.
