4.3        Road Traffic Noise

4.3.1      Internal Noise Limits
There is no specific road traffic noise criterion in the Noosa Plan 2006. Therefore reference is
drawn to the Maroochy Plan 2000 Planning Scheme Policy No. 7 – Acoustic Environment
Assessment.
The policy requires that internal noise levels of all dwellings achieve those specified in AS/NZ 2107
Acoustics – Recommended Design Sound Levels and Reverberation Times for Building Interiors.
Given the proximity to Noosa Drive and surrounding commercial area, we recommend the
maximum indoor sound levels outlined in Table 8.

Table 8: Internal Noise Limits for Residential Dwellings from AS/NZS 2107
