5.2.2        Background Creep
This criterion is to prevent background noise progressively increasing or creeping higher over time with the
establishment of new developments in a locality. EPP2008 states that:

1. This section states the management intent for an activity involving noise.

2. To the extent that it is reasonable to do so, noise from an activity must not be—

     -     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

     -     for noise that varies over time measured by LAeq,adj,T—more than 5dB(A) greater than the existing
           acoustic environment measured by LA90,T.

In accordance with the Environmental Protection Regulation 2008, the time period (T) is considered to be a
time interval of at least 15 minutes.

The Background Creep criteria for steady-state and transient noise sources are stated in Table 5.
