Onsite accommodation and potential noise intrusion can be addressed during the detailed design stage
(façade treatment) and operational noise managed by onsite management.

It is recommended that compliance is achieved with Acceptable Outcome AO22.4 for mechanical plant with
minimum boundary setbacks (2m) and screened by ground level fencing (min. 1.5m high) and screened for
above ground level plant.

5.2          Environmental Protection (Noise) Policy
Schedule 6 Planning scheme policies part SC6.2 - PSP1 Preparing a well-made application, SC6.2.4 Appendix
1, states that noise emissions from onsite activities are assessed against the Environmental Protection (Noise)
Policy 2008 (EPP 2008). Details of the criteria and established noise limits are presented in the following
sections.

5.2.1        Acoustic Quality Objectives
Table 4 presents the acoustic quality objectives at noise sensitive receivers as detailed in Schedule 1 of the
EPP2008.
