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

1        INTRODUCTION




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

         Woodland        Drive, Peregian Beach. The site location is shown in Figure                     1.     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: MCU13j0092).
         The IR states:

                    The car parking areas increased traffic in the local street, loading bay service area and

                   operation of commercial plant and equipment (after hours deliveries, air conditioning and
                   refrigeration units, waste collection and vehicle noise), has the potential to denigrate the

                   amenity of the adjacent properties to the north west and east of the site. A noise impact
                   assessment is required addressing the potential noise impacts that may be generated by

                   the    use.    Where     potential impacts are identified, which          can    be   viably controlled, the
                   assessment should provide recommendations for noise amelioration.                           This assessment is

                   to be prepared by a suitably qualified person and in accordance with                        the, Environmental
                   Protection (Noise)Policy 2008, and relevant Australian Standards, e.g. AS1055 series.


         This report presents        an    assessment of the potential noise        impacts due to commercial activities
         and mechanical       plant. Renzo Tonin Ron Rumble has been commissioned by Multi Span Australia

         Group pty Ltd to undertake the assessment.




2        SURROUNDING AREA AND PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT SITE




         An    aerial   photograph      of the site and       surrounding   area   is   presented   in   Figure     2. The site is

         bounded        by Woodland       Drive to the north, Rufous Street to the west and David Low                   Way to the
         east. There is an       existing sports oval to the west. To the north of the site is an existing Telstra

         exchange facility and a vacant site. There is a community hall to the northeast. There are existing
        commercial and           office    buildings   to   the southeast. Residential      dwellings         are   located   to   the

         northwest, north, southeast and east of the site.



        The site currently contains a sports and recreational use (Lawn Bowls club with Clubhouse) which

        is no longer in use. It is understood that the Clubhouse has not been operational for a number of

        years.
