5.         Environmental Noise Assessment
This section presents the analysis and results of noise from the development at the nearest noise
sensitive receivers.


5.1        Application 1 – Coles Expansion and Refurbishment
The proposal is for the internal refurbishment and expansion of an existing Coles tenancy. The
vehicular access, loading dock and car parking shall remain as per the existing outdoor layout with
hours of operation also to remain unchanged.

As a result, it is predicted that surrounding noise sensitive receivers will not experience increased
noise impacts as a result of the internal refurbishment and expansion of an existing Coles
supermarket.

It is noted however that, should mechanical plant be relocated or new plant installed, a detailed
mechanical plant assessment should be carried out by a suitably qualified acoustic consultant
once equipment selections are determined. Noise levels should be designed to achieve
compliance with the criteria outlined in Section 4.1.3.


5.2        Application 2 – Specialty Retail, Accommodation, First Choice
           Liquor, Hotel, and Commercial

5.2.1      Noise Source Levels
Table 9 presents the potential noise sources and the respective measured noise levels in LAeq,T,
LA10,T, and LA1,T.
