   NOISE CRITERIA
   Discussions with the Noosa Shire Council have confirmed that they refer to the Environmental Protection Act
   for noise criteria.
   The Environmental Protection Act section 440U Air Conditioning Equipment – sets criteria of BG + 5dB(A),
   7am to 10pm, and BG + 3dB(A) from 10pm to 7am.
   Section 440W Indoor Venues sets the criteria of BG + 5dB(A), 7am to 10pm, and BG + 3dB(A) from 10pm to
   Midnight, and “inaudible” from Midnight to 7am. However 440W notes that the 7am – 10pm criteria do not
   apply if the “building is, or is part of, an educational institution, and the use of the building as an indoor venue
   is organized by or for the educational institution for non-commercial purposes of the institution”.




   2 Noise levels are expressed as a range of parameters. L1, L10, L90 are the “A-weighted” levels experienced for 1%,

   10% and 90% of the time period. Leq is the “A-weighted” level with the same energy as the actual fluctuating noise
   level, and may approximate the average level. The Lmax is the maximum level and is the highest level recorded during
   the time period for an event with the meter set to Fast response time. All values have been averaged over the Day
   (7am – 6pm), Evening (6pm – 10pm) and Night (10pm – 7am) time periods.
