NOOSA COUNCIL IDAS Development Application Decision Notice 8 of 12

. 5 dB(A) above the background noise level

46.5. From 7pm to 10pm: More than 3 dB(A) above the background noise level.

47. Submission of written certification from a suitably qualified person confirming that the noise levels from all
mechanical equipment comply with the cause above when measured at either the residential boundary or
outside the most exposed part of an affected building, whichever is the closest to the equipment.

48. The assessment and certification is required immediately after installation of the equipment and prior to
any occupation of the building, and in a format approved by Council. This assessment must take into
account noise from any other fixed equipment on the property e.g. swimming pool pump, heating/cooling
equipment, etc that may increase the overall noise level emitted.

It is highly recommended that the person you engage to certify the installation is involved at the plan
development stage so they can recommend where this equipment is best located. They can also advise
about noise enclosures and can make other suggestions to avoid noise problems. It is a lot more costly
to try and deal with noise problems after everything is built.
