The results of the fixed noise monitoring confirmed that the background noise levels are low at

the monitoring position. The noise levels recorded are consistent with the recommendations of

AS1055.3-1997-Acoustics: Description and Measurement of Environmental Noise for a land use

category R2. This category is described as areas with low density transportation.

The attended noise levels logged on the site were sited at three (3) receptor locations, as shown
in Figure 1 of the Air Noise Environment P/L Report included in Appendix E of this report.
Receptor 1 was located within the road reserve of Ferrells Road, Receptor 2 within the road
reserve of Holts Road adjacent to the Bruce Highway on the north eastern boundary of the
development site and Receptor 3 (where fixed monitoring also occurred) located within the road

reserve of Holts Road to the south of the site.
