8.2. Management principles
To mitigate potential noise impacts at receivers, we recommend applying the following
management principles:

     •     Waste collection shall be limited to the daytime period, between 7am and 6pm.
     •     All shop doors on the southern and western building facades shall remain closed when not
           in use for immediate access.
     •     Staff shall not congregate at the rear of the shops during the evening period.
     •     All shop doors on the southern and western building facades shall be fitted with automatic
           closing mechanisms.


8.3. Onsite Mechanical Plant Noise
Included in the design is a I lm parapet that will provided additional attenuation to Receivers 2-5
from of rooftop plant noise. Because detailed plant selections are not available at this stage, it is
not possible to carry out a detailed examination of the ameliorative measures that may be
required to achieve the noise targets. Plant will be acoustically treated to achieve the criteria
detailed in Section 6.2 to prevent noise emissions from adversely impacting the surrounding
properties. This may include selecting the quietest plant possible, or treating the plant equipment
with enclosures, barriers, duct lining and silencers, etc if required to comply with the assessment
criteria.

Experience with similar projects indicates that it would be possible to achieve the Council
requirement with appropriate treatment of the plant. This treatment would be determined at the
Building Approval/Construction Certificate stage.

A mechanical plant noise assessment should be conducted by a suitably qualified acoustic
person once plant selections are finalised; and compliance tests conducted after the equipment is
installed to ensure compliance with the criteria. Such measures should also be conditioned in the
Development Approval.
