Attachment 8 - Environmental Noise Assessment · MCU23/0078

8 Recommendations
Compliance with the criteria outlined in Section 5 is predicted to be achieved based on the inclusion of the
recommendations outlined below.

8.1           Onsite Residential Building Attenuation
For onsite noise and road traffic noise it is recommended to incorporate façade attenuation into the
proposed onsite residential buildings for habitable rooms.
Road traffic noise façade treatment requirements are presented in Table 23.
For onsite noise attenuation, it is recommended all onsite residential dwellings are constructed to achieve a
façade noise reduction of min. 25dB for habitable rooms (equivalent to QDC Noise Category 1). Onsite
habitable rooms adjacent to the proposed plaza area (outdoor dining) to achieve a façade noise reduction of
min. 30dB for habitable rooms (equivalent to QDC Noise Category 2).
Table 24 presents the recommended façade treatment requirements for road traffic noise and onsite noise
combined.
