Schreibers Road.
c) appropriately screened.
Furthermore, the property
contains pockets of vegetated
areas which will help screen the
facility to the north, east and
west and the backdrop of an
existing ridge line to the south
will provide a buffer along the
property boundary which will
effectively integrate the facility
from dwellings located in the
surrounding area. This is
considered to be in accordance
with S7.1.
Furthermore, noise and
vibration emissions associated
with the proposed facility will
be limited to the construction
phase. Noise generated during
the construction phase will be
of short duration and will be in
accordance with the standards
outlined in the Environmental
Protection Regulation 1998 and
Environmental Protection
(Noise) Policy 1997.
Construction works will only
occur between the hours of
7.00am and 6.00pm.
There will be some low level
noise from the ongoing
operation of air conditioning
equipment associated with the
outdoor cabinets, once
installed. Noise emanating from
the air conditioning equipment
is at a comparable level to a
domestic air conditioning
installation, and will generally
accord with the background
noise levels prescribed by
Australian Standard AS1055.
The air conditioning unit will be
well removed from surrounding
residential dwellings.
