The objective of this section is to identify the proposed methods that will be employed to minimise
the impact of noise, vibration and air quality in the vicinity of the development.



5.2 Noise and Vibration Management

stakeholders. Consultation with the Noosa Shire Council will occur at all times prior to any works
being scheduled. All businesses will be given notification either via email, letter box drop and
personal contact of all the proposed after hours works prior to the works commencing which will
include details of the works and the time to undertake each activity.
