DILGP - Information request (concurrence agency) - SDA-1215-026793

                                                                                       SDA-1215-026793


Item      Information requested
          the following matters:
          (a)     Please demonstrate that the development can achieve the relevant
                  environmental emission criteria for noise with the recommended noise
                  attenuation treatments.
                  The department’s environmental emission criteria for noise are set out in the
                  Department of Transport and Main Roads (DTMR) Policy Position Statement:
                  Development on Land Affected by Environmental Emissions from Transport and
                  Transport Infrastructure; Version 2.0 dated 10 May 2013, which is available at:
                  http://www.tmr.qld.gov.au/Community-and-environment/Planning-
                  anddevelopment/Planning-policy/Policy-statements-guidelines-
                  anddevelopment-codes/Development-on-Land-Affected-by-
                  EnvironmentalEmissions.aspx.
          Note: The relevant noise criteria for the proposed development are (See Table 1.1.1
                AO1.1):
                       external noise criterion of ≤ 60 dB(A) L10 (18hr) facade corrected (measured
                        L90 (8hr) free field between 10pm and 6am ≤ 40dB(A))
                  OR
                       external noise criterion of ≤ 63 dB(A) L10 (18hr) facade corrected (measured
                        L90 (8hr) free field between 10pm and 6am > 40 dB.
          (b)     Please ensure the amended report includes the additional 56 lots.
          (c)     The layout of the aged care section has been amended in the current proposal
                  to what is shown in the report. Please ensure the noise report is amended to
                  reflect this and that the predicted impacts on the individual rooms are revised.
          (d)     Please ensure the nominated QDC categories of units behind the noise barrier
                  are revised. There is concern that these are incorrect, for example, in Appendix
                  D Table D.1 the predicted level for Lot 75 suddenly drops. This may be due to
                  the assumed receptor location just behind the proposed noise barrier and the
                  relative heights of the rail source and receiver.
         Reason for request:
         To allow the department to determine if the development complies with the State
         Development Assessment Provisions (SDAP), Performance Outcome (PO) 1, Module
         1 – Managing noise and vibration impacts from transport corridors state code, further
         information will need to be provided.
          The applicant is requested to amend the Noise Impact Assessment prepared by ASK
          Consulting Engineers Pty Ltd, dated 18 December 2014, Document reference
          7617R01V01.
