3. EQUIPMENT
The following equipment was used to record ambient noise levels in the vicinity of the site:

     •     ARL EL316 Environmental Noise Monitor (SN# 16-707-016); and
     •     BSWA Technology Co. Ltd CA106 Acoustical Calibrator (SN # 44095).

The environmental noise monitor holds current NATA Laboratory Certification and was calibrated
before and after the monitoring session with no significant drift from the reference signal
recorded.


4. METHODOLOGY
4.1. Unattended Noise Monitoring
An ARL EL316 environmental noise monitor was placed in the vicinity of the site at 1 Keel Court
to measure the ambient noise levels. The microphone was in a position considered
representative of the noise environment experienced by residents located east of the site and
approximately 1.4 metres above ground level.

The unattended noise monitor was set to record noise levels from the 15th to the 23rd of
September, 2010 as follows:

      •    "A" weighting;
      •    "Fast" response; and
      •     15 minute statistical interval.

The statistical interval was chosen to allow application of AS/NZS 2107.2000 `Acoustics -
Recommended Design Sound Level and Reverberation Times for Building Interiors'.

Refer to Figure 3 for the unattended noise monitoring location.
