          were   measured in previous       projects. The calculations are generally conservative in nature and
          indicate that there may be some vehicle manoeuvring activities that may exceed noise limits from

         time to time. The duration of the individual noise events are expected to be brief.




          However should quieter loading/services vehicles be nominated for the commercial site, additional

          measurements         and    assessment    could   be   made   of   the   quieter vehicles, and          the    above

         recommendations can be revisited and reassessed.




10       MECHANICAL PLANT NOISE




         Noise from mechanical plant associated with the air-conditioning, refrigeration units, exhaust fans

         etc. has the potential to impact upon nearby noise sensitive premises.



10.1     Assessment of mechanical plant noise


         As the exact uses and tenancies for the buildings within the shopping centre are unknown at this

         stage, the types of mechanical plant could not be determined. In this instance, it is recommended
         that all new proposed plant are checked for compliance by a qualified acoustical consultant before

         installation and certified for compliance by testing prior to the commencement of use. Generally

         the combined component noise level due to mechanical                plant within the site should not exceed
         the final component noise limits stipulated in Section 7.3 at residential areas.




11       NOISE FROM INCREASED ROAD TRAFFIC




         It is anticipated that traffic along Woodland       Drive, Rufous Street and David Low Way are expected
         to increase with the development of the shopping centre. Due to the increase in traffic conditions,

         a   change in traffic noise levels from these local roads is also expected.               An assessment of the

         impact of road traffic noise is presented in this section.
