Environmental Noise Level Impact Assessment for Proposed Expansion of Existing Backpacker
Accommodation onto 106 Pacific Avenue, Sunshine Beach                                                    Page 1 of 18



INTRODUCTION

There is an existing backpacker accommodation (Visitor Accommodation Type 4 - Hostel) premises
located at 102 Pacific Avenue, Sunshine Beach, for which David Moore & Associates Pty Ltd prepared
the noise report for in 2009. This report was titled Environmental Noise Level Study for Proposed
Residential – Budget Accommodation – Development, 102 Pacific Avenue, Sunshine Beach. The
owner of this backpacker accommodation has now purchased the adjoining residence at 106 Pacific
Avenue, Sunshine Beach and proposes to expand the backpacker accommodation into this existing
dwelling. In accordance with advice from Nadine Gorton, Town Planner, Noosa Council have
requested a noise impact assessment be prepared for this proposed expansion of the backpacker
accommodation.

This report has been prepared in response to this Council request, with noise limit criteria based on
the Environmental Protection (Noise) Policy 2008 and the adopted background sound levels based on
the results of the 2009 ambient noise assessments. It is the opinion of the acoustic consultant that
these 2009 background sound levels are still relevant today, albeit that they are most likely
conservative as the primary noise source in this area is traffic on Pacific Avenue, which is a direct link
between the David Low Way and Noosa Heads and carries a significant volume of traffic. By using
the 2009 background sound levels to establish the noise limits, these noise limits will be conservative
and provide additional acoustic ‘protection’ to the adjoining residential, which is behind the subject site
to the north-east, as well as adjoining to the north-west.

Pacific Avenue is not a transport noise corridor and as the existing residence is not being replaced or
extended traffic noise impact does not require consideration.

The only potential environmental noise impact is from the subject site and this could include vehicle
activities, airconditioning plant and people laughing and talking.

In 2009 to assess the ambient noise levels relative to the closest boundary to Pacific Avenue, with the
ambient noise levels dominated by traffic, a 24-hour noise level study was conducted from Monitoring
Location A, on the front (Pacific Avenue) boundary of 102 Pacific Avenue with the microphone
elevated 2 metres. These ambient noise levels are relevant to the residential adjoining the subject site
to the north-west.

To assess the general ambient noise levels for this residential area and establish appropriate noise
limits for noise from the subject site at the adjoining residential to the north-east a 24-hour ambient
noise assessment was conducted over a weekend from monitoring location B from adjacent the rear
boundary of 102 Pacific Avenue – boundary most distant from the influence of traffic noise from Pacific
Avenue, with the microphone also elevated 2 metres.

This report details the results of these noise level studies, noise limits, noise level impact and any
required noise control measures.

In preparing this report the following drawings prepared by Floor Plan Plus were referenced:

•   Drawing 1001, 2:        Proposed Amalgamated Hostel Site Plan;
•   Drawing 1002, 2:        Existing 3 × 1 Bedroom Unit Layout and Site Plan (106 Pacific Avenue);

CRITERIA

Measurements and Calculations

All noise level measurements were conducted in accordance with the following:

•   general requirements of the Queensland environmental protection legislation;
•   Environmental Protection (Noise) Policy 2008;
•   Noise Measurement Manual, Queensland Department of Environment and Heritage Protection,
    Version 4 date 22 August 2013; and
•   Australian Standard AS 1055.1-1997, Acoustics – Description and measurement of environmental
    noise, Part 1 – General procedures.

Noise Limits

The Noosa Council Town Plan does not contain specific noise limits. However, in accordance with the
Environmental Protection (Noise) Policy 2008 the following should be noted:

1. Acoustic Quality Objectives. For the whole of Queensland the acoustic quality objectives are
   target noise levels which should not be exceeded. These are, for residential:

    •    Outdoors, daytime and evening:
            o 50 dB(A) LAeq,adj,1hr;
            o 65 dB(A) LA1,adj,1hr; and
            o 55 dB(A) LA10,adj,1hr;

    •    Indoors, daytime and evening:
             o 35 dB(A) LAeq,adj,1hr;
             o 45 dB(A) LA1,adj,1hr; and
             o 40 dB(A) LA10,adj,1hr;

    •    Indoors, night-time:
             o 30 dB(A) LAeq,adj,1hr;
             o 40 dB(A) LA1,adj,1hr; and
             o 35 dB(A) LA10,adj,1hr;

As it is not possible to assess inside the adjoining residential, the internal noise criteria needs to be
converted to the equivalent external criteria. To assist in converting the interior noise limits to
equivalent external noise limits, reference is made to the Department of Environment and Heritage
Protection Guideline, Noise Control, Planning for Noise Control, Version 1 dated 15 January 2016,
and in particular Table 7. Table 7 nominates different noise reduction levels for various states of
windows wide open, partially closed or completely closed, namely 5 dB(A), 10 dB(A) and 20 dB(A)
respectively. In addition, it should be noted that the ‘partially closed criteria’ protects at least 90
percent of the population from the adverse effects of transient noise, and for this reason a difference
of 10 dB(A) has been adopted to convert the interior noise criteria to the equivalent noise criteria
outside the residences.

Therefore, for the night-time period the equivalent external noise criteria would be:

    •    30 + 10 = 40 dB(A) LAeq,adj,1hr;
    •    40 + 10 = 50 dB(A) LA1,adj,1hr;
    •    35 + 10 = 45 dB(A) LA10,adj,1hr;

  2. Background Creep.

       The ‘background creep’ noise limit criteria is specifically designed to adequately account from the
       additive effect of a number of different noise sources, which can be generated by a number of
       different premises. As there is an existing backpacker accommodation at 102 Pacific Avenue and
       it is proposed to extend this onto the subject site at 106 Pacific Avenue, background creep is
       considered the most appropriate noise limit criteria. This is the criteria which has been adopted in
       this report.

            10        Controlling Background Creep

                      (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-

                              (a)       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

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

From Table 1, the following average weekday and weekend background noise levels should be noted:

Weekday, Monitoring Location A

o   daytime:       53 dB(A) LA90,T;
o   evening:       46 dB(A) LA90,T;
o   night:         39 dB(A) LA90,T;

Weekend, Monitoring Location B

o   daytime:       47 dB(A) LA90,T;
o   evening:       43 dB(A) LA90,T;
o   night:         40 dB(A) LA90,T;

Based on the above background noise levels the appropriate noise limits are:

Closest Residence to North-west

•   steady state noise: background + 0 dB(A): daytime = 53 dB(A) LA90,T;

These are the noise limits that have been adopted in this report for noise from the subject site.


NOISE FROM SUBJECT SITE


On-Site Vehicle Noise

From previous noise level measurements conducted by the consultant, typical on-site vehicle noise
levels (time varying noise source) would be:

•   car driving on driveway:          46 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T @ 8 m;
•   car door closing:                 48 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T @ 30 m;
•   car engine starting:              48 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T @ 30 m.

At the closest adjoining residence to the north-west the only potential noise impact from on-site vehicle
activities is cars driving on the subject site driveway and car parking activities – engines starting and
doors closing. At this closest adjoining residence to the north-west these noise levels would be:

•   car driving on driveway:          46 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T @ 8 m – 2 (distance) = 44 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T;
•   car door closing:                 48 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T @ 30 m + 14 (distance) = 62 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T;

•   car engine starting:             48 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T @ 30 m + 14 (distance) = 62 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T.

The noise limits for the above noise sources, at the adjoining residence to the north-west, are:

    •    daytime:           58 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T;
    •    evening:           51 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T;
    •    night-time:        44 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T.

With no noise control measures in place these noise limits are exceeded by:

    •    daytime:           4 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T;
    •    evening:           11 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T;
    •    night-time:        18 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T.

For comparison, it should be noted that for the existing use (three one-bedroom units) the noise limit
exceedences for the current carport location would be:

    •    daytime:           1.5 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T;
    •    evening:           8.5 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T;
    •    night-time:        15.5 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T.

For the closest residences to the north-east the noise level impact would be:

•   car driving on driveway:         46 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T @ 8 m – 14 (distance) = 32 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T;
•   car door closing:                48 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T @ 30 m – 3 (distance) = 45 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T;
•   car engine starting:             48 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T @ 30 m – 3 (distance) = 45 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T.

The noise limits for the above noise sources, at the adjoining residences to the north-east, are:

    •    daytime:           52 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T;
    •    evening:           48 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T;
    •    night-time:        45 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T.

With no noise control measures in place these noise limits are exceeded by:

    •    daytime:           0 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T;
    •    evening:           0 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T;
    •    night-time:        0 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T.

Therefore, based on the above, noise control measures are required for on-site vehicle activities
relative to the adjoining residence to the north-west only. This noise control measure could be in the
form of an acoustic barrier.


People Laughing and Talking

From previous source noise assessments conducted by the consultant typical noise levels for people
laughing and talking would be:

•   people laughing and talking:               54 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T @ 8 metres.

For the proposed backpacker accommodation the primary area where guests would be laughing and
talking would be in the (covered) communal area and the outdoor DOSA, adjacent to Pacific Avenue.
The pool and most of the deck adjacent to the pool are existing and, therefore, do not require
consideration.

At the closest adjoining residence to the north-west the noise of people laughing and talking would be:

•   covered communal area:           54 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T @ 8 m – 4 (distance) – 8 (acoustic barrier/fence
                                     between communal area and staff carparking space = 42 dB(A);

•   outdoor DOSA:                    54 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T @ 8 m – 5 (distance) – 8 (acoustic barrier/fence
                                     between outdoor DOSA and staff carparking space = 41 dB(A).

The noise limits for the above noise source, at the adjoining residence to the north-west, are:

•   daytime:    58 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T;
•   evening:    51 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T;
•   night-time: 44 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T.

All of the above noise limits are complied with for the complete 24-hour day, provided the fence
between the communal area and DOSA and the staff carparking space is an acoustic barrier.


Plant Noise

Plant noise from the proposed backpacker accommodation could include airconditioning units. Whilst
at the time of preparing this report no detail was available with respect to plant it has been assumed
that the 6-bed Dorms would be airconditioned, along with the Manager and Staff facilities and the
cinema. Based on previous noise assessments conducted by the consultant typical airconditioner
noise levels are 64 dB(A) LWA.

At the closest adjoining residence to the north-west the noise level of the airconditioning units,
assuming a total of 6 units (dorms × 3, cinema × 1, staff/manager × 2) would be:

•   dorms:                  64 dB(A) LWA + 6 (3 units) – 26 (distance) = 44 dB(A);
•   cinema:                 64 dB(A) LWA – 30 (distance) – 8 (fence/barrier between communal area and
                            staff carpark) = 26 dB(A);
•   staff:                  64 dB(A) LWA + 3 (2 units) – 30 (distance) = 37 dB(A);
•   combined:               44 + 26 + 37 = 45 dB(A) LA90,T.

The noise limits for plant noise at the adjoining residence to the north-west are:

•   daytime:    53 dB(A);
•   evening:    46 dB(A);
•   night-time: 39 dB(A).

The night-time noise limit is exceeded by the three airconditioning units associated with the Dorms.
Therefore, if the Dorms are to be airconditioned, EITHER the airconditioning units need to be located
remote from the adjoining residence to the north-west OR these airconditioning units are acoustically
treated with an acoustic enclosure OR acoustic barrier on the common boundary adjacent to these
airconditioning units.

At the closest adjoining residences to the north-east the noise level of the airconditioning units,
assuming a total of 6 units (dorms × 3, cinema × 1, staff/manager × 2) would be:

•   dorms:                  64 dB(A) LWA + 6 (3 units) – 36 (distance) = 34 dB(A);
•   cinema:                 64 dB(A) LWA – 38 (distance) – 15 (intervening building) = 11 dB(A);
•   staff:                  64 dB(A) LWA + 3 (2 units) – 32 (distance) = 35 dB(A);
•   combined:               34 + 11 + 35 = 38 dB(A) LA90,T.

The noise limits for plant noise at the adjoining residences to the north-east are:

•   daytime:    47 dB(A);
•   evening:    43 dB(A);
•   night-time: 40 dB(A).

All of the above noise limits are complied with, with no additional noise control measures required.

Once the location and exact number of airconditioning units has been determined, and the
manufacturer and model number (and associated noise levels) selected, this information should be
provided to the acoustic consultant to re-assess the noise impact from the airconditioning units and, if
any of the noise limits are exceeded, nominate suitable noise control measures.


NOISE CONTROL

Acoustic barriers are required for the control of vehicle activities on the subject site, as well as the
noise of people laughing and talking in the covered communal area and outdoor DOSA, relative to the
adjoining residence to the north-west. The noise of airconditioning units requires further consideration
once their number and location has been determined, together with manufacturer and associated
noise levels.

With respect to the acoustic barrier requirements, path difference calculations have been performed
and the required extent and height of acoustic barriers calculated. With respect to the control of
vehicle activities the night-time period has not been considered as there are only two carparking
spaces in question and whilst they could be used at night, most of the activity will be during the
daytime and evening. It is also possible that these two carparking spaces could be signed that there
is to be no arrival/departure from these two spaces between the hours of 10pm and 7am daily. The
required acoustic barriers are:

    •    between the staff carparking space/driveway and the covered communal area and outdoor
         DOSA, 1.8 metres high and extending from the external wall of the cinema to the garden bad
         adjacent to pacific Avenue;

    •    corner (south-west) of the cinema to the north-western side boundary, then south-west on the
         north-western boundary to 3 metres from the Pacific Avenue boundary, 2.0 metres high. This
         acoustic barrier is approximately 7 metres long along the north-western side boundary.

The above acoustic barriers must be the nominated height relative to existing ground levels, be
located as per the above description and as indicated at Figure 4, be continuous and gap free and
have a minimum surface area density of 10 kg/m 2. Examples of suitable materials of construction
include, but are not limited to:

    •   reinforced concrete;
    •   concrete block;
    •   brick;
    •   hebel panel;
    •   sheet metal at least 2 mm thick;
    •   minimum 7.5 mm thick fibrous cement sheet;
    •   earth mound;
    •   lapped timber palings, for example, kiln dried softwood palings at least 19 mm thick and
        overlapped a minimum 20 mm;
    •   any combination of the above.

The 2.0 metre high acoustic barrier will reduce vehicle activity noise levels, at the closest adjoining
residence to the north-west, by approximately 9 dB(A), which will result in compliance with the daytime
noise limit and a 2 dB(A) exceedance of the evening noise limit. As, subjectively, a change in noise
level of 1 to 2 dB(A) is not perceivable to the human ear, this 2 dB(A) evening noise limit exceedance
will sound the same at the closest adjoining residence to the north-west and, there, should be deemed
to comply with the evening noise limit.


CONCLUSIONS

The existing backpacker accommodation located at 102 Pacific Avenue, Sunshine Beach, for which
David Moore & Associates Pty Ltd prepared the original noise report for in 2009, is proposed to be
extended onto 106 Pacific Avenue. The existing dwelling is to remain on site and undergo some
minor alterations to be suitable for the proposed backpacker accommodation. In accordance with
advice from Nadine Gorton, Town Planner, Noosa Council have requested a noise impact assessment
be prepared for this proposed expansion of the backpacker accommodation.

This report has been based on the noise criteria contained in the Environmental Protection (Noise)
Policy 2008 and the adopted background sound levels based on the results of the 2009 ambient noise
assessments. It is the opinion of the acoustic consultant that these 2009 background sound levels are
still relevant today, albeit that they are most likely conservative as the primary noise source in this
area is traffic on Pacific Avenue, which is a direct link between the David Low Way and Noosa Heads
and carries a significant volume of traffic.

Pacific Avenue is not a transport noise corridor and as the existing residence is not being replaced or
extended traffic noise impact does not require consideration.

Potential noise impacts from the proposed extension to the backpacker accommodation onto 106
Pacific Avenue could include vehicle activities (cars driving, car doors closing and car engines
starting), people laughing and talking and plant and equipment (airconditioning units). The 2009
background sound levels were used to determine the noise limits in accordance with the ‘background
creep’ criteria, for the closest adjoining residence to the north-west, as well as the adjoining
residences to the north-east. Source noise levels were based on previous assessments conducted by
the consultant of similar premises.

With the acoustic barriers nominated in Figure 4 in place the noise of on-site vehicle activities
complies/effectively complies with the daytime and evening noise limit criteria and the noise of people
laughing and talking complies with the noise limit criteria 24-hours per day. With respect to night-time
vehicle activity, this is not likely to occur very often and this assessment only relates to two carparking
spaces. Therefore any potential night-time noise impact would be minimal and, additionally, these two
carparking bays could be signed that no vehicle is to arrive into or depart from either of these
carparking bays between the hours of 10pm and 7am daily.

With respect to the noise impact from plant and equipment (airconditioning units) the number, noise
level and location of these units has been assumed and calculated to the closest adjoining residences.
Whilst the noise limits are complied with at the closest residences to the north-east, airconditioning
unit noise levels, particularly those units associated with the dorms, exceed the night-time noise limit.

To ensure compliance with the noise limits for 24-hours per day, once the location and exact number
of airconditioning units has been determined, and the manufacturer and model number (and
associated noise levels) selected, this information should be provided to the acoustic consultant to re-
assess the noise impact from the airconditioning units and, if any of the noise limits are exceeded,
nominate suitable noise control measures.
