1 INTRODUCTION

Acoustic Logic consultancy (ALC) have been engaged to conduct an assessment of major noise source
impacts from the Noosa Civic Shopping Centre onto proposed adjacent residential development.

The report is in response to the Council’s request:

1.

Prepare and submit to Council for approval with and Operational Works application a revised acoustic
report which includes measures to mitigate noise generated from the shopping centre operations and
equipment, including deliveries, truck movements and rubbish collection. This report should consider
attenuation at the noise source as well as a noise barrier along the shared boundary of Lots 19 and
217. All measures to mitigate noise must be implemented prior the submission of the subdivision plan
to Council.

Noise attenuation is required to achieve the following acoustic quality for potential residential uses on
Lots 17-19. The measurement location must include receivers being places at the closest point to the
future residential and office buildings.

 

 

 

 

 

Criteria (measured at the receptor) dB(A)
Sensitive receptor Time of Day LAeq.adj, Thr? LAT adj, Th
Daytime and evening
(habitable spaces) 35 e
Dwelling (indoors)
Night-time (sleeping
areas) 30 40

 

 

 

 

 

"Acoustic descriptor/noise target for continuous noise sources (eg. Mechanical plant).
“Acoustic descriptor/noise target for transient impacts arising from loading dock activities (e.g. truck
movements, reversing alarms, compactor, trolley etc.)

The purpose of this assessment is the following:

Establish the predicted intrusive noise levels at the proposed subdivision site on Hofmann Road for
lots 17-21.

Provide acoustic attenuation recommendations to meet the indoor acoustic criteria set by Noosa
Shire Council. These are applied at the source, boundary, and receiver.

This report includes attended and unattended noise measurements from the previous ALC acoustic report
(ref: 20191414.1/1501A/R2/SS, dated 15/01/2020).
