The nearest affected resident to the Tenancy 8 outdoor area is Receiver 2, which is a single
storey dwelling. Compliance with the evening criteria is predicted at this receiver provided that a
2.2m high acoustic barrier is constructed on the boundary.

Use of the bin areas is predicted to exceed the sleep disturbance criteria during the night period
at Receiver 5. We have recommended that use of this area is restricted from 7am to 10pm.

All remaining onsite activities including car movements and patronage of the centre are predicted
to comply for all time periods.


8. RECOMMENDATIONS
8.1. Recommended Acoustic Barrier
To reduce noise levels at neighbouring receivers to within acceptable levels, we recommend the
construction of an acoustic barrier to the height and extent shown in Figure 4 below. The
acoustic barrier should be constructed free of gaps or holes and of a material with a minimum
surface density of 12.5kg/m2. Suitable materials include overlapped timber palings (with an
overlap of 40%), masonry, toughened safety glass, fibre cement sheet, earth mounding, or a
combination of these materials.
