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

                  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 10:00pm every day.

    .
         Generally    our     assessment       shows that       some     loading    activities     can   potentially    exceed    the

         nominated noise lmits. 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.


   .     The exact uses and tenancies are unknown at this stage, therefore the types of mechanical                              plant
         to be installed at the site could not be determined. We recommend 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.


   .    Traffic noise from          David    Low   Way   is   expected     to increase     by approximately          1dBA and      for

         Woodland Drive and Rufous Street by SdBA to 7dBA above current levels after the construction of

         the shopping centre. The increase of noise levels due to the increase in traffic volumes will likely

         be noticeable at the residences along Woodland Drive and Rufous Street.


   .    The    possible    noise control treatment is           provision of acoustic upgrades            to   existing residential

         buildings, but it is understood that this option                is not feasible. A reduction of noise            impacts is

        expected if an alternate            access   to the    shopping centre via David           Low   Way is provided. It is
         understood    that the alternate          access     option may be explored by the Client and                   a   separate

        application may be made to Council to that effect.

   .    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.
