residence at 374 Tablelands Road.
I am aware of the professional Noise Level Assessment done by David Moore &
Associates and confirm that I agree with his fmdings in this report after witiles’sing the
practical test done today.
A background noise level was recorded for a period of 20 minutes with the lowest
possible noise level of 29.8dB(A)recorded. I believe this to be the lowest possibie
noise level for the area during daylight hours on any day or any time of the year. The
average for this period was 36.2dB(A)
A "Kymco MXU 300" quad bike was ridden on the proposed training track of298
Tablelands Road, by an inexperienced rider. The bike was governed so as not to
exceed 3500rpm. The noise level was measured from a distance of 10 meters from the
track with the average noise level calculated at 59.4dB(A).
We then generated a motor noise using a ’Kubota"tractor, producing a constant
75dB(A)measured at a 10m distance on the proposed quad bike training area of298
Tablelands Road. This noise was tested over a period of 10 minutes with the lowest
recorded sound level never falling below 75dB(A).
With no change to this generated noise. We then measured the lowest recorded noise
over a period of 1 Q minutes, located one meter from the southern external comer of
the house at 374 Tablelands Road, closest to the noise source. The lowest recorded
noise level was 31dB(A). T, e temperature was 18 degrees Celsius with the wind
never exceeding 2 knots frpm the West during the period oftesting.
This test clearly showsthe practicality of the effect of both terrain and vegetation
impacting on noise ryduction. It proves that the estimates in the David Moore report
are correct. It is a 1910wn fact that vegetation does have an impact on noise reduction
and this simple test proves it.

Page 2 I am the closest resident to the entry ofWoondum National Park and a neighbour to 298 Tablelands Road and can assure Council there will be no impact from the noise generated by this proposed tour business. I have based this on both a practical test done with Charles Marais as well as a test of the proposed quad bikes to be used. Surely Council must see that this wholy questioning ofthe noise report is just another attack against the proposal from a joint effort ofthe Fowler/Schofield campaign. To date the Fowler/Schofield attack has been pointed to every possible part of the proposed business and has clearly cost Charles Marais way too much in defending the claims and the delays in starting this highly supported tourism business. I trust Council will take my confirmation of the sound testing seriously and approve this application for a material change ofuse without any further delays. YO~~, L. John & Jeanne Price
