Plant and Equipment

All of the plant and equipment associated with the Facilities Building is located on the roof of the
Facilities Building, in a purpose constructed Plant Deck. This plant deck comprises a concrete floor
and masonry nib walls all round, ranging in height from 800 mm to 1600 mm, an acoustic louvre for
the western end wall (from the top of the nib wall to the underside of the plant deck roof, including an
access door) and roof over. The plant and equipment located on this plant deck includes:

    kitchen exhaust fan;
    Daikin RXYQ8AYM air-conditioning unit;
    Daikin RXYQ16AYM air-conditioning unit;
    Daikin RXYMQ4AV4A air-conditioning units, two of;
    Glacier GC 301-B-2.7 refrigeration units, two of;
    MINT HUCE22-1M refrigeration unit;
    MINT HUCE-1L refrigeration unit.

The noise control measures for the rooftop plant deck are:

1.   western access door to remained closed at all times;

2.   western access door to be fitted with an automatic door closer;

3.   no additional plant and equipment to be added to the plant deck without the prior approval of an
     acoustic consultant;

4.   kitchen exhaust fan can be operated at ‘high’ (75%) until 2200 hours, but from 2200 hours it must
     only be operated at ‘low’ (50%);

5.   plant and equipment (excluding the kitchen exhaust) can operate 24-hours per day, 7-days per
     week.

6.   with all of the plant and equipment operating and the kitchen exhaust fan set to ‘high’ (75%) a
     noise assessment was conducted on the evening of Monday 2 December. The results of this
     noise assessment are that the combined noise of all of the plant and equipment operating and the
     kitchen exhaust set to ‘high’ complies with the daytime and evening noise limits, at all of the
     closest residential.

7.   with all of the plant and equipment operating and the kitchen exhaust fan set to ‘low’ (50%) a
     noise assessment was conducted on the evening of Wednesday 18 December. The results of
     this noise assessment are that the combined noise of all of the plant and equipment operating
     and the kitchen exhaust set to ‘low’ complies with the night-time (2200 hours to midnight) noise
     limit, at all of the closest residential.

8.   Based on the evening noise assessments plant and equipment noise levels comply with the noise
     limits nominated in Condition 81 (with operating conditions as detailed in this Noise Management
     Plan) for steady state noise sources.


Patron Noise

The source noise level for patrons was based on the formula LWAeq = 15 × log10 (number of patrons) +
64 dB(A) (technical paper ‘Prediction of Noise from Small to Medium Sized Crowds (Hayne et al,
2011).

For the outdoor dining area (no including the internal shared space), approximately 75% of this total
area is roofed.
