Response to Information Request 5-7 Rufous Street Peregian Beach - Attachment D MCU13/0092

         understood     that the alternate         access   option will be explored by the Client and               a   separate

         application will be made to Council to that effect.


         As stated in Section      2.0, the site currently contains a sports and recreational use (Lawn Bowls
         Club with Clubhouse) which has not been operational for a number of years. The Client has stated

         that if the Bowls Club      was   in   operation, it would likely have generated additional traffic flows

         along Woodland      Drive and    servicing requirements greater than the Current Daily Traffic Volume
         and   Composition values presented           in Table     12. In other     words, the Client suggests that the
         residential properties along Woodland Drive and Rufous Street were previously affected by traffic

         noise from vehicles travelling to and from the Bowls Club when it was in operation.




12       CONCLUSIONS




         Based upon the analysis presented in this report, the following conclusions have been drawn:


                  The proposed shopping centre would have the following noise impacts on residential areas

                  located to the northwest, north            and   east   -
                                                                              car   park noise, noise from delivery and
                  services trucks, noise from increased traffic along Rufous Street and Woodland Drive and

                  noise from mechanical plant;


            .
                  Existing ambient noise levels were monitored over a week period. Based on the results of
                  the noise monitoring and conditions stipulated in the Environmental Protection Act 1994,

                  Environmental Protection (Noise)Policy 2008 and the Environmental Protection Regulation

                  2008, relevant noise limits for car park noise, delivery and services vehicles noise, and
                  mechanical plant were determined and presented in Section 7 of the report;


            .     Noise from    typical transient events in the car park are predicted and demonstrated to

                  comply with the daytime, evening and night time noise limits at surrounding residential
                  properties;

            .     To minimise    potential noise nuisance from the supermarket loading dock, the developer

                  proposes to construct 2.sm and 3.5m high acoustic barriers as shown in Figure 4. For the

                  noise barriers to provide adequate noise reduction, they are required to have a minimum

                  superficial density of 14kg/m2 and           a   maximum      leakage of 1%. This may be achieved

                  using materials such as concrete tilt panel, masonry block wall, 35mm thick CCA treated

                  lapped and capped timber palings or 75mm Hebel Power Panel. The northern end of the
                  barrier will consist of a solid and gap-free gate for ingress of service and delivery vehicles;


            .     With the noise barriers constructed, modelling and assessment of noise from most loading

                 and services transient events within the site are demonstrated to comply with the daytime

                 and   evening noise limits. Exceedances of the transient noise limits are predicted for the

                 following transient events:
