Appendix 6. Odour Buffer Assessment [As Published] · 132007.2399

5    CONCLUSIONS

An evaluation of the potential for development of Noosa Springs within the current
buffer zone around the Noosa STP has been undertaken using a combination of
assessment techniques. The current buffer zone was established some years ago
and the Noosa STP has since had a major upgrade that includes a high level of
odour control.

After assessing the combined results of dispersion modelling, odour complaints
records and a small community survey conducted for the earlier Precinct G
development (Holmes, 2005) we conclude that the odour impacts onPthe Precinct J
development are not expected to result in significant annoyance to future residents.
The predicted odour levels in this area are below the 2.5 ou EPA guideline level. As
with the Precinct G results, the odour impacts occur at night and are infrequent.

We conclude that the proposed Precinct J development within the existing 600 m
buffer should not be refused on the grounds of possible adverse odour impacts.
