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

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY




Multi   Span Australia Group Pty Ltd is proposing               to   develop a shopping         centre at Rufous Street and

Woodland Drive, Peregian Beach. The real property description is Lot 94 on SP137431. The local authority

is the Sunshine Coast Regional Council.




Council has issued an Information Request on 18th June 2013, requiring an assessment of noise emissions

from the development to neighbouring noise sensitive premises (Ref: MCU13/0092).



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;


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

         to construct 2.5m 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, 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;

   .     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, as described in
         Section 9.2.


   .
         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:
