NOOSA COUNCIL IDAS Development Application Decision Notice                                                  10 of 16


Environmental Health
77.    The developer must provide waste storage and disposal facilities in accordance with Planning Scheme
       Policy No 9 “Waste Management Multi-Dwellings and Commercial and Industrial Premises”, including an
       external imperviously paved area correctly sized for all refuse and recycling containers and suitably
       screened from public places and neighbouring properties. A roofed waste/bin wash area is required with
       a cold-water tap, hose and drain outlet connected to sewer, via a bucket trap and grease arrestor.

78.   Noise emission from mechanical equipment (air conditioners, refrigeration equipment or pool pumps etc)
      shall comply with the following requirements:
      The equipment shall be installed and located in a manner that prevents excessive noise in accordance
      with Council’s Local Law No. 12 - Control of Nuisances. Infringement Notices (on-the-spot fines) may
      apply for offences.
      A person must not use equipment on any day if it makes or causes noise to be made –
      From 10pm to 7am: More than the lower of either –
     40 dB(A)

     3 dB(A) above the background noise level

     No audible noise for pool pumps apply during these hours.
              From 7am to 7pm: More than the lower of either –
     50 dB(A)

     5 dB(A) above the background noise level
       From 7pm to 10pm: More than 3 dB(A) above the background noise level.
79.    Submission of written certification from a suitably qualified person confirming that the noise levels from all
       mechanical equipment comply with the cause above when measured at either the residential boundary or
       outside the most exposed part of an affected building, whichever is the closest to the equipment.
      The assessment and certification is required immediately after installation of the equipment and prior to
      any occupation of the building, and in a format approved by Council. This assessment must take into
      account noise from any other fixed equipment on the property e.g. swimming pool pump, heating/cooling
      equipment, etc that may increase the overall noise level emitted.
      Advice: It is highly recommended that the person you engage to certify the installation is involved at the
      plan development stage so they can recommend where this equipment is best located. They can also
      advise about noise enclosures and can make other suggestions to avoid noise problems. It is a lot more
      costly to try and deal with noise problems after everything is built.
Trade Waste
80.    A place of food preparation and/or cooking is to have the liquid waste connected to a Trade Waste line,
       that discharges to an approved grease arrestor of a size determined by Council’s Trade Waste Policy.

81.    A completed Trade Waste application showing the Trade Waste requirements in accordance with the
       Noosa Trade Waste Policy are to be submitted to Council together with an applicable fee and two (2) sets
       of professionally drawn plans.

82.    The hydraulic drawings are to show all the Trade Waste requirements in accordance with the Noosa
       Trade Waste Policy. NB: A Trade Waste Permit must cover all types of Trade Waste discharged.

83.    Trade Waste requirements are to be in place, inspected and approved prior to the commencement of
       trading or operation. The appropriate Trade Waste Permits will be issued following approval at final
       inspection.
