Environmental Noise Level Study for Proposed Wimmers Soft Drink Manufacturing Facility,
271 Lake Macdonald Drive, Lake Macdonald                                                                     Page 1 of 32


INTRODUCTION

It is proposed to establish a Wimmers soft drink manufacturing facility at a currently un-used industrial
site (previously occupied by a clay brick and tile manufacturer) at 271 Lake Macdonald Drive, Lake
Macdonald. Potential noise sources associated with this development could include:

•   truck movements, including semi trailers and forklifts;
•   passenger vehicle movements on site;
•   external steady state noise sources, including airconditioning plant, pumps, etc;
•   internal manufacturing machinery; and
•   materials handling within manufacturing - forklifts.

The closest residences to the subject site (and separation distance) are as follows (as determined from
site visit and Google Maps):

•   north, on the western side of Lake Macdonald Drive, approximately 350 metres from manufacturing;
•   east on the eastern side of Lake Macdonald Drive, approximately 220 metres from manufacturing;
•   south-east on the eastern side of Lake Macdonald Drive, approximately 230 metres from
    manufacturing;
•   south, on the western side of Lake Macdonald Drive, approximately 350 metres from manufacturing.

To assess current ambient noise levels an extended (8-day) ambient noise assessment was conducted
from the southern end of the site, from just to the north-east of the existing office building on the
property. This monitoring location would have a similar ambient noise level to all of the surrounding
residences, due to the rural/residential nature of the area and minimal traffic on Lake Macdonald Drive.

This report details the results of this extended ambient noise level assessment, noise limits, typical
source noise levels for the proposed development, source noise levels calculated to the closest
residential premises, state of compliance with noise limits and any required noise control measures.
