Notes: Day & Evening 7am-10pm, Night 10pm-7am. Predicted noise levels that exceed criteria are shown in ‘bold’ font.

*A 1-3dB exceedance of criteria is considered a ‘marginal compliance’ as a 1-3dB change in noise level is typically not
discernible to the human ear in an environmental setting
Noise impacts are predicted to comply with the noise criteria at onsite receivers, with the recommended
minimum façade attenuation, with the exception of:

•     External criteria due to outdoor dining at Receiver A (southwest façade) and Receiver D (northeast
      facade) (marginal compliance) . It will be recommended that balconies have solid balustrades at these
      locations to improve the outdoor amenity. It is noted that compliance with indoor noise criteria is
      achieved.

Refer to Section 8 for recommended noise mitigation measures.

6.4.2 Background Creep (EPP)
Table 17 presents the predicted background creep noise levels at the nearest sensitive receivers. Background
creep applies to offsite receivers. The maximum noise impact per receiver is displayed in the table and full
results are presented in Appendix C.
