NOISE ASSESSMENT BENCHMARKS

From review of the assessment benchmarks under the Noosa Plan 2006 and the Superseded Noosa Planning Scheme, we believe that the Noise Management requirements
had been reasonably conditioned as part of the previous CDA 132005.1133.9 dated 14 May, 2019 given the context and history of the proposed development.
