Environmental Noise Level Impact Assessment for Proposed Increase to Bed Numbers for
Flashpackers, 102 and 106 Pacific Avenue, Sunshine Beach Page 1 of 22
INTRODUCTION
In 2018 David Moore & Associates Pty Ltd completed a noise impact assessment for the existing
backpacker accommodation (Visitor Accommodation Type 4 - Hostel) premises located at 102 Pacific
Avenue, Sunshine Beach, to be expanded onto the adjoining residential property at 106 Pacific
Avenue, Sunshine Beach. Noosa Council subsequently approved this expansion of the backpacker
accommodation – Council Decision Notice reference 132007.2446.03. At this time Flashpackers had
68 approved beds across 102 and 106 Pacific Avenue, Sunshine Beach.
It is now proposed to increase the number of beds within this backpacker accommodation by eleven
(11), from 69 plus manager to 80 plus manager, without making any changes to the overall size of the
two buildings. There will be some internal room reconfiguration to achieve this increase in the number
of guests, but there will be no changes to any part of the buildings, windows, doors, etc. All of the
current noise control measures will remain in place.
To achieve the additional 11 guests the following changes to numbers of guests per room will be
implemented:
• Room 1: currently 4 bed, increased to 6 bed;
• Room 2: currently 4 bed, increased to 6 bed;
• Room 3: currently 4 bed, increased to 6 bed;
• Room 4: currently 4 bed, increased to 6 bed;
• Room 5: currently 4 bed, remain as 4 bed;
• Room 6: currently 2 double, remain as two double;
• Room 7: Manager (2), increased to two double;
• Room 8: currently 3 bed, increased to 4 bed;
• Room 9: currently 3 bed, increased to two double;
• Room 10: currently 3 bed, increased to 4 bed;
• Room 11: currently 3 bed, increased to two double;
• Room 12: currently 3 bed, increased to 4 bed;
• Room 13: currently 3 bed, increased to two double;
• Room 14: currently 3 bed, increased to 4 bed;
• Room 15: currently 3 bed, increased to two double;
• Room 16: currently two double, changed to 4 bed;
• Room 17: currently 10 bed, remain as 10 bed;
• Room 18: currently 10 bed, remain as 10 bed.
This report has been prepared to assess any potential increase in noise impact to the adjoining
residential. The noise limit criteria has been based on the same criteria used for the 2018 report,
namely the noise limits contained in the Environmental Protection (Noise) Policy 2008 and the
adopted background sound levels based on the results of the 2009 ambient noise assessments,
together with a further 7-day ambient noise assessment in September 2018. The predominant noise
source in this area is traffic on Pacific Avenue, which is a direct link between the David Low Way and
Noosa Heads and carries a significant volume of traffic, together with the natural sounds of birds, wind
in the vegetation, domestic activities, etc. The September 2018 background sound levels were
specifically assessed adjacent to the closest adjoining residences, which are to the immediate north-
east of the subject site.
Pacific Avenue is not a transport noise corridor and as the existing residential building is not being
replaced or extended traffic noise impact does not require consideration.
The only potential environmental noise impact is from the subject site and this could include vehicle
activities and people laughing and talking. There will be no changes to the current air-conditioning
plant and, therefore, this does not need to be considered as a potential noise source.
In 2009 to assess the ambient noise levels relative to the closest boundary to Pacific Avenue, with the
ambient noise levels dominated by traffic, a 24-hour noise level study was conducted from Monitoring

To assess the general ambient noise levels for this residential area and establish appropriate noise limits for noise from the subject site at the adjoining residential to the north-east a 24-hour ambient noise assessment was conducted over a weekend from monitoring location B from adjacent the rear boundary of 102 Pacific Avenue – boundary most distant from the influence of traffic noise from Pacific Avenue, with the microphone also elevated 2 metres. In September 2018 an extended 7-day ambient noise assessment was conducted from monitoring location C, adjacent to the north-east boundary of the subject site and the closest adjoining residences to the north-east, with the microphone elevated 1.8 metres. This report details the results of these noise level studies, noise limits, and any noise level impact as a result of the additional 11 guests. In preparing this report the following drawings prepared by Floor Plan Plus were referenced: • Drawing 1001, 2: Proposed Amalgamated Hostel Site Plan; • Drawing 1002, 2: Existing 3 × 1 Bedroom Unit Layout and Site Plan (106 Pacific Avenue); • Drawing 1003, 2: Proposed 21 Bed Hostel Layout Plan (106 Pacific Avenue); • Drawing 1004, 2: East and West Elevation Plan (106 Pacific Avenue); • Drawing 1005, 2: North and South Elevation Plan (106 Pacific Avenue).

CRITERIA
Measurements and Calculations
All noise level measurements were conducted in accordance with the following:
• general requirements of the Queensland environmental protection legislation;
• Environmental Protection (Noise) Policy 2008;
• Noise Measurement Manual, Queensland Department of Environment and Heritage Protection,
Version 4 date 22 August 2013; and
• Australian Standard AS 1055.1-1997, Acoustics – Description and measurement of environmental
noise, Part 1 – General procedures.

Noise Limits
The Noosa Council Town Plan does not contain specific noise limits. However, in accordance with the
Environmental Protection (Noise) Policy 2008 the following should be noted:
1. Acoustic Quality Objectives. For the whole of Queensland the acoustic quality objectives are
target noise levels which should not be exceeded. These are, for residential:
• Outdoors, daytime and evening:
o 50 dB(A) LAeq,adj,1hr;
o 65 dB(A) LA1,adj,1hr; and
o 55 dB(A) LA10,adj,1hr;
• Indoors, daytime and evening:
o 35 dB(A) LAeq,adj,1hr;
o 45 dB(A) LA1,adj,1hr; and
o 40 dB(A) LA10,adj,1hr;
• Indoors, night-time:
o 30 dB(A) LAeq,adj,1hr;
o 40 dB(A) LA1,adj,1hr; and
o 35 dB(A) LA10,adj,1hr;
As it is not possible to assess inside the adjoining residential, the internal noise criteria needs to be
converted to the equivalent external criteria. To assist in converting the interior noise limits to
equivalent external noise limits, reference is made to the Department of Environment and Heritage
Protection Guideline, Noise Control, Planning for Noise Control, Version 1 dated 15 January 2016,
and in particular Table 7. Table 7 nominates different noise reduction levels for various states of
windows wide open, partially closed or completely closed, namely 5 dB(A), 10 dB(A) and 20 dB(A)
respectively. In addition, it should be noted that the ‘partially closed criteria’ protects at least 90
percent of the population from the adverse effects of transient noise, and for this reason a difference
of 10 dB(A) has been adopted to convert the interior noise criteria to the equivalent noise criteria
outside the residences.
Therefore, for the night-time period the equivalent external noise criteria would be:
• 30 + 10 = 40 dB(A) LAeq,adj,1hr;
• 40 + 10 = 50 dB(A) LA1,adj,1hr;
• 35 + 10 = 45 dB(A) LA10,adj,1hr;
2. Background Creep.
The ‘background creep’ noise limit criteria is specifically designed to adequately account from the
additive effect of a number of different noise sources, which can be generated by a number of
different premises. For the 2018 report the background creep criteria was adopted as the most
appropriate noise limit criteria. This is the criteria which has also been adopted in this report.
10 Controlling Background Creep
(1) This section states the management intent for an activity involving noise.
(2) To the extent that it is reasonable to do so, noise from an activity must not be-
(a) for noise that is continuous noise measured by LA90,T – more than nil
dB(A) greater than the existing acoustic environment measured by
LA90,T; or

dB(A) greater than the existing acoustic environment measured by
LA90,T.

Based on the above 2009 background noise levels the background creep noise limits for the closest
adjoining residences to the north-east are:
• steady state noise: background + 0 dB(A): daytime = 47 dB(A) LA90,T;
evening = 43 dB(A) LA90,T;
night-time = 40 dB(A) LA90,T;

From Table 2, the following average ambient noise levels should be noted:
o LAeq,T:
o daytime: 49.4, 48.9, 49.8, 49.2, 48.5, 48.1, 52.3 Average = 49.6 dB(A);
o evening: 44.8, 46.5, 44.3, 53.1, 44.4, 52.7, 45.9 Average = 47.4 dB(A);
o night-time: 42.0, 43.7, 41.4, 43.1, 43.2, 42.2, 43.6 Average = 42.7 dB(A);
o LA1,T:
o daytime: 58.4, 57.2, 58.6, 59.0, 57.7, 57.2, 63.1 Average = 58.7 dB(A);
o evening: 53.4, 55.9, 52.8, 57.7, 53.1, 57.7, 53.5 Average = 54.9 dB(A);
o night-time: 50.9, 51.4, 49.8, 52.4, 52.6, 52.5, 52.7 Average = 51.8 dB(A);
o LA10,T:
o daytime: 51.3, 51.1, 51.5, 51.9, 51.1, 50.7, 56.1 Average = 52.0 dB(A);
o evening: 47.4, 48.5, 46.9, 55.7, 46.8, 55.1, 48.3 Average = 49.8 dB(A);
o night-time: 44.3, 45.5, 44.1, 45.3, 45.4, 44.3, 45.8 Average = 45.0 dB(A);
o LA90,T:
o daytime: 42.1, 43.6, 43.9, 41.0, 41.8, 41.3, 43.2 Average = 42.4 dB(A);
o evening: 37.7, 40.6, 38.4, 47.5, 37.9, 46.9, 41.2 Average = 41.6 dB(A);
o night-time: 36.8, 38.3, 35.2, 37.0, 36.7, 35.6, 37.5 Average = 36.7 dB(A).
Based on the above 2018 background noise levels the background creep noise limits are:
Closest Residences to North-east
• steady state noise: background + 0 dB(A): daytime = 42 dB(A) LA90,T;
evening = 42 dB(A) LA90,T;
night-time = 37 dB(A) LA90,T;
• time varying noise: background + 5 dB(A): daytime = 47 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T;
evening = 47 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T;
night-time = 42 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T.
As the 2018 ambient noise assessment has resulted in lower noise limit criteria than the 2009
assessment the above 2018 background creep noise limits are the noise limits that have been
adopted in this report for noise from the subject site.
NOISE FROM SUBJECT SITE
On-Site Vehicle Noise
From previous noise level measurements conducted by the consultant, typical on-site vehicle noise
levels (time varying noise source) would be:
• car driving on driveway: 46 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T @ 8 m;
• car door closing: 48 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T @ 30 m;
• car engine starting: 48 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T @ 30 m.
At the closest adjoining residence to the north-east the primary potential noise impact is from the noise
of people, as the closest on-site vehicle activities – cars driving on the subject site driveway and car
parking activities – engines starting and doors closing, is adjacent to Pacific Avenue.

Tamobrojo Pty Ltd
Environmental Noise Level Impact Assessment for Proposed Increase to Bed Numbers for
Flashpackers, 102 and 106 Pacific Avenue, Sunshine Beach Page 10 of 22
For the closest adjoining residences to the north-east, with no additional noise control measures in
place, vehicle noise level impact would be:
• car driving on driveway: 46 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T @ 8 m – 12 (distance) = 34 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T;
• car door closing: 48 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T @ 30 m – 1 (distance) = 47 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T;
• car engine starting: 48 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T @ 30 m – 1 (distance) = 47 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T.
The noise limits for the above noise sources, at the adjoining residences to the north-east, are:
• daytime: 47 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T;
• evening: 47 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T;
• night-time: 42 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T.
With no noise control measures in place these noise limits are exceeded by:
• daytime: 0 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T;
• evening: 0 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T;
• night-time: 5 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T.
As the night-time noise limit criteria was exceeded a 1.8 metre high acoustic barrier was constructed
to control this noise source to the noise limits for the complete 24-hour day – refer Figure 1 for the
location of this acoustic barrier.
People Laughing and Talking
In the 2018 report the following source noise level was used for people laughing and talking:
• people laughing and talking: 54 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T @ 8 metres.
Based on the capacity of Flashpackers increasing by 11 guests the above source noise level would
increase by 1 dB(A) to 55 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T.
The primary areas where guests would be laughing and talking would be in the (covered) communal
area and the outdoor communal area, adjacent to Pacific Avenue, and the pool and deck adjacent to
the pool.
At the closest adjoining residences to the north-east the noise of people laughing and talking would
be:
• covered communal area: 55 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T @ 8 m – 12 (distance) – 8 (barrier effect of
backpacker accommodation building and/or acoustic barrier) = 35
dB(A) LAeq,adj,.T;
• outdoor area: 55 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T @ 8 m – 13 (distance) – 8 (barrier effect of
backpacker accommodation building and/or acoustic barrier) = 34
dB(A) LAeq,adj,T;
• pool and deck: 55 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T @ 8 m – 8 (distance) – 12 (barrier effect of
backpacker accommodation building and/or acoustic barrier) = 35
dB(A) LAeq,adj,T;
The noise limits for the above noise source, at the adjoining residences to the north-east, are:
• daytime: 47 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T;
• evening: 47 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T;
• night-time: 42 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T.

Environmental Noise Level Impact Assessment for Proposed Increase to Bed Numbers for
Flashpackers, 102 and 106 Pacific Avenue, Sunshine Beach Page 11 of 22
All of the above noise limits are complied with for the complete 24-hour day, with no additional noise
control measures required, for the roofed communal area, open communal area and pool and deck.
The only other possible source of people noise is with respect to the Manager’s Unit. If a limited
number of people (2 or 3) were outside the Manager’s Unit sliding glass door talking then their
anticipated noise level would be 50 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T @ 8 metres. At the closest residences to the north-
east this would be:
• 50 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T @ 8 metres – 4 (distance) – 8 (acoustic barrier) = 38 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T, which
complies with the noise limits for the complete 24-hour day.
All potential locations for the noise of people laughing and talking, with due consideration of the
increase in the number of guests, comply with the noise limits for the complete 24-hour day.
Plant Noise
In accordance with the 2018 report a 1.8 metre high acoustic barrier was required to control the noise
of the air-conditioning units (Figure 1 of this report refers). As there are no additional air-conditioning
units the noise level of this noise source will not change at the closest adjoining residential and,
therefore, no additional noise control measures are required.
NOISE CONTROL
The existing 1.8 metre high acoustic barrier, located as per Figure 1, is the only physical noise control
requirement to ensure that the addition of 11 guests still results in noise limit compliance for the
complete 24-hour day.
CONCLUSIONS
The existing Flashpacker (backpacker) accommodation located at 102 and 106 Pacific Avenue,
Sunshine Beach is approved for 69 beds, and it is proposed to increase this to 80 beds. This increase
of 11 beds with be achieved by internal reconfiguration only – there will be no changes to any of the
buildings, windows, internal or external walls, doors, etc.
As there will be no change to the current number or location of air-conditioning units, this potential
noise source will continue to comply with the noise limits for the complete 24-hour day.
The increase in the number of guests could result in a slight increase in the number of vehicle
movements on the subject site, and will result in an increase in the noise of people laughing and
talking outdoors.
Vehicle and people noise was calculated to all of the closest adjoining residences and complies with
the noise limits for the complete 24-hour day, with no additional noise control measures required.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that, from an environmental noise perspective, the proposed increase in the
number of beds from 69 to 80 should be approved, as there is no increase in the noise impact to any
of the adjoining residences with the current noise control measures which have been implemented.
