NOISE LIMITS

In accordance with the Noosa Council Decision Notice – Minor Change document dated 18 October
2019 (Council reference 132005.1133.10) the following should be noted with respect to noise and the
Facilities Building:

81.      Noise emission from mechanical equipment (air conditioners, refrigeration equipment, or pool
         pumps, etc) shall comply with the following requirements:

         a.        A person must not use equipment on any day if it makes or causes noise to be made:

                   i.       From 10pm to 7am: not more than the higher of either:
                            a.     40 dB(A);
                            b.     3 dB(A) above the background noise level;

                            No audible noise for pool pumps apply during these hours.

                   ii.      From 7am to 7pm: not more than the lower of either:
                            a.     50 dB(A);
                            b.     5 dB(A) above the background noise level;

                   iii.     From 7pm to 10pm:
                            a.     Not more than 3 dB(A) above the background noise level.

84.      The location and noise attenuation for all plant and equipment is to comply with the
         requirement of the Environmental Protection (Noise) Policy and Noosa Council’s Local Law
         No. 12 Control of Nuisances.

In consideration of the above, together with the Acoustic Quality Objectives and ‘background creep’
requirements of the Environmental Protection (Noise) Policy 2008 and Australian Standard AS
2107:2000 Acoustics – Recommended design sound levels and reverberation times for building
interiors, the following noise limits have been adopted for the Facilities Building:

Steady State Noise Source

        daytime (0700 to 1900 hours):                    50 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T;
        evening (1900m to 2200 hours):                   43 dB(A) LAe,adj,T;
        night-time (2200 hours to midnight):             38 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T.

Time Varying Noise Source

        daytime (0700 to 1800 hours):                    50 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T;
        evening (1800m to 2200 hours):                   45 dB(A) LAe,adj,T;
        night-time (2200 hours to midnight):             40 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T.

The above noise limits relate to immediately outside a residential building. The steady state noise
limits are in accordance with Condition 81 of the Noosa Council approval for the Facilities Building.
