                                but complies with the 55dBA criterion);

                           o    HRV engine start at Area B (exceedance of the night 50dBA criterion                    by 4dBA,
                                but complies with the 55dBA criterion);

                           o    HRV accelerating at Area A (exceedance during the day, evening, and night);

                           o    HRV travel at Area B (exceedance of the night 50dBA criterion by 4BA);

                           o    Air brakes at Area B (exceedence during the evening and night);

                           o    RCV Waste handling at Area B (exceedence during the evening and night); and

                           o    Forklift use at Area B (exceedance of the night 50dBA criterion by 6dBA)

            .     Modelling and assessment of quasi-continuous noise for some loading events within the
                  site demonstrated that:


                           o    Noise emissions from trucks with small             refrigeration    units at the nominated

                                loading docks      are   predicted   to   be   lower than the      representative daytime,

                                evening and night time ambient noise levels.
            .     Based    on   the modelling      results, the following recommendations for loading and service
                  activities within the site are made:


                           o    Use of the   shopping centre loading dock to the west should be restricted to

                                day-time periods, between 7:00am to 6:00pm;

                           o    Usage of HRVs accessing the shopping centre loading dock to the west should
                                be restricted to day-time periods, between 7:00am to 6:00pm;

                           o    Refuse waste collection activities should be restricted to day time periods only,

                                between 7:00am to 6:00pm; and

                           o    Usage of MRVs for loading and service activities for speciality shops to the east
                                should   be restricted     to   daytime   and   evening periods, between 7:00am                to


                                lO:OOpm every day.
            .     Generally our assessment shows that some loading activities can potentially exceed the
                  nominated noise limits. It should be noted that the assessment is based                     on   typical noise

                  source emissions that were         measured for 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.
