3.2.2        ‘C’ Weighted – Unattended Amplified and Live Entertainment Ambient
             Noise Measurements
Noise monitoring (with additional monitors) was also conducted to measure the existing C-
weighted ambient noise levels. The monitors were placed in the same locations as per Section
3.2.1. The microphones were in free-field locations, approximately 1.4m above ground surface
level.

The noise monitors were set to measure noise levels from the 21st to the 30th of November, 2012
as follows:

             ‘C’ weighting;
             ‘Fast’ response; and
             15 minute statistical interval.
Measurements were conducted generally in accordance with Australian Standard AS1055:1997
Acoustics – Description & Measurement of Environmental Noise.


3.2.3        Onsite Activity Noise Measurements
Noise levels associated with typical onsite activities have been taken from previous investigations
conducted by TTM. All measurements were conducted in accordance with AS/NZS 1055:1997
‘Acoustics – Description & Measurement of Environmental Noise’ (AS1055).


3.2.4        Attended Ambient Noise Measurement Procedure
Attended noise measurements were conducted on the 4th and 5th of December, 2012 to establish
the night time octave band noise criteria for Liquor Licensing purposes. Measurements were
conducted in the front yard of 7 Coral Tree Avenue and in the front yard of 22 Wyandra Street.
The measurements were taken between 11.00pm and 1.00am.

Attended noise measurements were also conducted on the night of 8th of July, 2013 to establish
the mechanical plant noise associated with the IGA and 7/11 fronting Noosa Drive. The
measurements were taken between 7.00pm and 9.00pm

The measurements were taken as follows:

             “Linear” in third octave bands;
             “Fast” response; and
             5 minute statistical interval.


3.2.5        Unattended Road Traffic Noise Measurements
An unattended noise monitor was placed at the edge of Pinaroo Rotary Park to measure existing
road traffic noise levels from Noosa Road. The monitor was located approximately 11 metres
from the nearest lane of traffic, in a free-field position, and had an unobstructed line of sight to
the road. Noise levels were measured between the 30th of November and the 5th of December
2012, as follows:
