2019-12-11 SM Agenda - Item 1 - Attachment 7 - Final New Noosa Plan - Part 8-10 Schedule Appendix - Clean version

      (j)   movements of freight carrying vehicles associated with the proposal and how these are to be minimised;
      (k)   the possibility of integration with adjacent development;
      (l)   the effects on public transport, traffic operations and parking, of any temporary works required during construction;
      (m)   any comments made by the Department of Transport and Main Roads that are in accordance with the rights and powers of
            this agency;
      (n)   the existing and likely future amenity of the surrounding area; and
      (o)   a statement of all of the assumptions made in the preparation of the report and the design parameters adopted in the
            technical analysis.

Acoustic assessment report
(1)   An acoustic assessment report may be required where a proposed development is likely to cause noise impacts or where a
      proposed development site is located in close proximity to a land use or infrastructure which may cause noise impacts on the
      proposed development (often referred to as reverse amenity impacts).
(2)   An acoustic assessment report should provide an assessment of:
      (a)   the potential noise impacts associated with the proposed development; and
      (b)   the measures proposed to avoid or minimise adverse noise impacts.

(3)   The acoustic assessment report should have regard to:
      (a)   Australian Standards AS 1055.2 Acoustics – Description and measurement of environmental noise – Application to specific
            situations and AS 2107 Acoustics – Recommended design sound levels and reverberation times for building interiors;
      (b)   Environmental Protection Act 1994 and Environmental Protection (Noise) Policy 2008 (EPP Noise);
      (c)   Noise Measurement Manual Department of Environment and Heritage Protection 2013
      (d)   Road Traffic Noise Management Code of Practice, Department of Transport and Main Roads, 2008.

(4)   The acoustic assessment report should include identification of:
      (a)   noise standards;
      (b)   nature of the noise;
      (c)   times of operation of the noise source and use/development on site;
      (d)   the type of occupancy/activity categories from AS 2107 that may apply;
      (e)   type of occupancy/activity and proximity of adjacent land uses;
      (f)   details of any prescribed planning levels in the EPP (Noise) that may apply to the adjacent land uses; and
      (g)   whether any noise data exists for those adjacent land uses

(5)   The report should include justification of the appropriate noise planning assessment methodology to determine the noise impacts
      on and from the land uses and structures both on the subject site and adjacent sites. The report should also provide an
      assessment of whether the noise emission complies with the calculated limiting criteria. If noise is likely to be unacceptable, the
      report should describe the control measures that will be used to ensure compliance.

Economic impact assessment report
(1)   Council is likely to require the submission of an economic impact assessment report for major retail and commercial
      development and other types of development with the potential to have adverse economic impacts.
(2)   In particular, Council may require an economic impact assessment report for development which involves one or more the
      following:
      (a)   the establishment of a business use exceeding a gross leasable floor area of 2,500m², where located in a centre zone;
      (b)   the establishment of a business use exceeding a gross leasable floor area of 100m², where located in a zone other than a
            centre zone; or
      (c)   the establishment of a business use which is identified as an inconsistent use in the applicable zone code or local plan.

(3)   An economic impact assessment report is a report prepared by an appropriately qualified and experienced economist or
      economic analyst, which assesses and demonstrates the public need for, and the acceptable economic impact of a proposed
      development.
(4)   Typically, an economic impact assessment report should include the following:
      (a)   a description of the size, function and tenancy mix of the proposed development, together with details of any pre­
