it would be preferable to locate uses more likely to generate noise such as forklifts, trucks, air-

conditioning units, etc away from residences through careful site development.

Mitigation Measures

General measures for the mitigation of noise on construction sites include:

> Limiting operation to occur between 7am to 6pm Monday to Friday, and 7am to Spm on
Saturday with no works to occur on Sundays or public holidays, to minimise potential
nuisance to surrounding sensitive receptors. Extensions may be granted where it can be
demonstrated that no person or business is affected, or that the level of background noise is
sufficient to prevent site noise being a nuisance. The relevant regulatory authorities should
be contacted for advice for specific requirements;

> Implementation of noise control methods, where appropriate; and

> The addition of an acoustic fence on the western boundary.

Mitigation of ongoing noise associated with the future development of the land may include
appropriate siting of buildings located on the western and southern boundaries of the

development, and the inclusion of acoustic attenuation in buildings where noisy activities occur.
AIR QUALITY ASSESSMENT

General

Consideration of potential air quality impact was undertaken as part of the air and noise impact
assessment undertaken for the proposed development by Air Noise Environment Pty Ltd (refer

Appendix E of this report).

Air Quality Risk

The report completed by Air Noise Environment P/L details the risk of emissions from any
businesses locating to the development site is likely to be low except where an ERA is proposed.
The major emission sources are likely to be associated with vehicle emissions, which based on
the location of the proposed development with respect to the Bruce Highway is not considered to

result in a measurable increase in exhaust emissions. Specific ERAs posing the greatest risk of
