Waste Storage
The developer must provide waste storage and disposal facilities in accordance with Planning Scheme Policy 9, Waste Management, including an external imperviously paved area correctly sized for all refuse and recycling containers and suitably screened from public places and neighbouring properties.
Noise
Written certification is required from a suitably qualified person confirming that sound pressure levels from all mechanical plant and equipment comply with the following :
Air-conditioning and Refrigeration
7am to 10pm: Maximum level allowable = background + 5dB(A)
10pm to 7am: Maximum level allowable =  background + 3dB(A)
Pumps
7am to 7pm: Maximum level allowable = background + 5dB(A)
7pm to 10pm: Maximum level allowable = background + 3dB(A)
10pm to 7am: No audible noise.
Assessment and certification is required immediately after installation of the equipment and prior to any occupation of the building.  All equipment should be operating at the same time to test the overall noise level created, with the measurement location at either the residential boundary or outside the most exposed part of an affected building - whichever is the closest to the plant/equipment.
The certification must be submitted to Council, which certifies that operational noise from any fixed plant and equipment complies with the requirements of this Decision Notice.
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.
Noise from residential building works shall comply with the following –
Limited to between 6:30am to 6:30pm Monday to Saturday.
All reasonable measures are taken to minimise noise emissions.
Not permitted on Sunday or public holidays.
Measurement of Noise
Measurement of sound pressure levels (adjusted for tonality and impulse) must be in accordance with either: (a) Australian Standard AS1055.1 “Acoustics–Description and measurement of environmental noise – General procedures”, or (b) The relevant “Noise Measurement Manual” as provided by the Department of Environment and Heritage Protection.
A qualified person is considered to be either: (a) a Registered Professional Engineer of Queensland, or (b) an environmental consultant with a minimum of 3 years current experience in the field of acoustics.
Acoustic Advice & Design
It is highly recommended that the developer seek the advice and design input of a qualified acoustic consultant at the plan development stage to ensure the development does not cause a noise nuisance under the Environmental Protection Act 1994.  Attention should be given to the following (but not limited to) :
building design and construction
design, selection and installation of fixed plant and equipment
the location of air conditioning and heating units, refrigeration plant, pumps, mechanical exhausts and plant rooms etc
the use of acoustic enclosures/screens around noisy plant and  equipment
operating times
Environmental Protection
The development should be undertaken in a manner that causes no unlawful environmental nuisance under the Environmental Protection Act 1994 by the creation of excessive noise, lighting, waste, atmospheric pollutants (including dust or odours) or other releases to the environment.
In accordance with the Environmental Protection Act 1994, all sand, silt, mud, paint, cement, concrete, builder’s waste or other prescribed contaminants should not to be released to or be placed where it could reasonably be expected to move into a roadside gutter, storm water drain or a watercourse.
