   9.2       Assessment of service and delivery vehicles


             Noise    emissions have          been   determined       by modelling the          noise   sources, receiver       locations,

             intervening structures and topographical features of the area using the SoundPLAN12 computer

             programme. The program              calculates the contribution of each noise                 source    at each     specified

             receptor point and allows for the prediction of the total noise from a site.


             The noise prediction takes into account of:


                      .      Location of noise sources and receivers;


                      .      Height of sources and receivers;

                      .
                             Separation distances between sources and receivers;

                     .       Screening provided by the proposed 3.5m high acoustic barriers;

                     .       Time duration for each noise event;


                     .       Ground type between sources and receivers;


                     .       Intervening buildings / structures between sources and receivers; and

                     .       Adjustment of +2dBA for annoying characteristics (i.e. tonality, impulsiveness) that are

                             just detectable, and +5dBA for annoying characteristics that are prominent / clearly
                             audible.


             Point calculations have also been conducted for loading dock activities and truck movements to

             assess the noise       impacts at the residential areas to the northwest, north and east of the site. The
             results for the worse-affected residence to the northwest and east are summarized in Table 10.

        SoundPlAN is     anintegrated software package for noise and air pollution evaluation developed in Germany by
        Braunstein   +   Berndt GmbH.  It has been configured to predict the extent of (i) road traffic noise intrusion by
        application of the CRTN ’88 algorithms and (ii) industrial noise emission using the CONCAWE algorithms. It is in
        use in more than 30 countries and has had widespread application throughout Australia.
                                                                                                        It is endorsed by

        Department of Main Roads, Brisbane City Council, Queensland EPA and most other State environmental authorities.
