                 3.3.4 Background Creep
                 In accordance with the policy, to the extent that it is reasonable to do so, noise must be dealt with
                 in a way that ensures –

                      a) The noise does not have any adverse effect, or potential adverse effect, on an
                         environmental value under this policy; and
                      b) Background creep in an area or place is prevented or minimised.

                 No quantitative background creep criteria are provided within the EPP (Noise) 2019. Therefore,
                 the criteria from the EPP (Noise) 2008 have been applied:

                 To the extent that it is reasonable to do so, noise from an activity must note be-

                       a) for noise that is continuous noise measured by LA90,T – more than nil dB(A) greater than
                          the existing acoustic environment measured by LA90,T; or
                       b) for noise that varies over time measured by LAeq,adj,T – more than 5 dB(A) greater than the
                          existing acoustic environment measured by LA90,T

                 Based on the EPP (Noise) 2008 background creep criteria, the limits are derived herein.
