Environmental Noise Level Impact Assessment for Proposed Increase to Bed Numbers for
Flashpackers, 102 and 106 Pacific Avenue, Sunshine Beach                                                 Page 2 of 22



Location A, on the front (Pacific Avenue) boundary of 102 Pacific Avenue with the microphone
elevated 2 metres.

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.
