10.         Recommendations & Conclusion
A noise assessment has been conducted for the proposed Essence of Peregian Beach residential
development to be located at 215 David Low Way, Peregian Beach. The results and recommendations of
the assessment are as follows:
    Potential noise impacts from the Peregian Beach Hotel have been assessed onto the proposed
     development and the assessment resulted in the following:
     ○ It is proposed to mitigate the Hotel’s mechanical plant noise emissions at the source.
     ○ To reduce noise impacts from the amplified music, it is recommended that the facade of the Linea
        Houses are upgraded in accordance with Section 6.5. To achieve the nominated internal noise
        criteria, will require external openings to be closed when these habitable rooms are occupied.
        Therefore, an air‐conditioning/mechanical ventilation system that does not degrade the internal
        acoustic environment or the sound isolation of the building envelope, and also meets the
        ventilation requirements of the Building Code of Australia may need to be installed.
     ○ To reduce noise impacts vehicles in the from the drive‐thru, it is recommended that 2.5m high
        acoustic barrier is constructed in accordance with Section 6.6.
    Potential noise impacts from the IGA Shopping Centre have been assessed onto the proposed
     development and the assessment resulted in the following:
     ○ To reduce noise impacts loading dock and carpark vehicles, it is recommended that facade of the
        unit building is upgraded in accordance with Section 7.4. To achieve the nominated internal noise
        criteria, will require external openings to be closed when these habitable rooms are occupied.
        Therefore, an air‐conditioning/mechanical ventilation system that does not degrade the internal
        acoustic environment or the sound isolation of the building envelope, and also meets the
        ventilation requirements of the Building Code of Australia may need to be installed.
     ○ It is proposed to mitigate the IGA’s rooftop plant deck with an acoustic screen around the plant
        deck, 1.0m higher than the top of the mechanical plant, as presented in Figure 7.1.
    Potential noise impacts from the Peregian Beach Community Kindergarten have been assessed onto
     the proposed development and indicated that the internal noise level criterion can be achieved with
     the external windows closed, therefore no additional upgrades are recommended. To achieve the
     nominated internal noise criteria, will require external openings to be closed when these habitable
     rooms are occupied. Therefore, an air‐conditioning/mechanical ventilation system that does not
     degrade the internal acoustic environment or the sound isolation of the building envelope, and also
     meets the ventilation requirements of the Building Code of Australia may need to be installed.
    Mechanical plant is to be designed, selected and located to achieve the noise limits nominated in
     Table 9.1 outside adjoining residential dwellings as outlined in Section 9.
