1   Introduction

ASK Consulting Engineers Pty Ltd (ASK) was commissioned by Palmlake Works Pty Ltd to provide
acoustic consultancy services for the proposed new retirement and aged care development to
be constructed at Trading Post Road, Cooroy.
This acoustic report is to accompany a revised Development Application for consideration by
Noosa Shire Council and the Department of Infrastructure, Local Government and Planning
(DILGP). The site has existing approval under Development Permit (132007.2398.02) for 164
independent living units (allotments) and a 120 bed aged care facility.
This version of the report has been prepared in response to an information request from the
Department of Infrastructure, Local Government and Planning (DILGP) (Reference: SDA-1215-
026793). Item 1 of the information request specified an amendment to the noise impact
assessment report originally prepared by ASK (reference: 7617R01V01 dated 18/12/2014) to
include the additional 56 unit allotments which had been added to the final site layout.
ASK has previously assessed the site in ASK report 4991R01V01, dated 12/03/2009. Since
that report the local authority has changed.
The proposed development includes 220 Independent Living Units for a proposed community
development and a 120 bed proposed aged care development.
The purpose of this report is as follows:
       Outline the relevant project noise criteria.
       Present the results of noise monitoring.
       Predict and assess the road and rail traffic noise impact onto the development.
       Describe noise mitigation requirements, if any.


To aid in the understanding of the terms in this report a glossary is included in Appendix A.
