INTRODUCTION

It is proposed to complete the following extensions to the existing CYC Noosa Campsite, 48 Kabi
Road (Lot 394 on M371117, Lot 650 on M37380 and Lot 7 on RP216403):

     •    new communal area comprising two buildings:
               o sports hall;
               o office, kitchen and dining;
     •    new Village 1 comprising:
               o dining building;
               o dormitory buildings, 5 of;
               o activity building;
               o playing area and playing field;
     •    new Village 2 comprising:
               o dining building;
               o dormitory buildings, 4 of;
               o playing area and playing field;
     •    new Village 3 comprising:
               o dining building;
               o dormitory buildings, 3 of;
               o playing area/playing field;
     •    roofed amenities/kitchenette building;
     •    activity field;
     •    new internal sealed roads.

To enable the determination of appropriate noise limits for the above a 7-day ambient noise
assessment was conducted from monitoring location A, adjacent to the western boundary and near
the adjoining residence to the north-west at 41 Kabi Road (as remote from any on-site noise sources
as possible) to determine the background sound levels – monitoring location A. Background noise
level measurements at this location would be similar to all other close residential premises.

This report details the results of the ambient noise assessment and, in particular, the background
sound levels, noise limits generally imposed by Noosa Council, source noise levels, source noise
levels calculated to the closest adjoining residences and state of compliance with the noise limits. If
any of the nominate noise limits are exceeded appropriate noise control measures have been
nominated.

Refer Figure 1 for locality plan, monitoring location A and the closest residences (denoted R1 to R5
inclusive), Figure 2 for the whole site plan, Figure 3 for the site plan, Figure 4 for detail of the existing
carpark and communal buildings and Figure 5 for detail of Village 1.

The closest residences are:

    •    R1:       41 Kabi Road to the north-west;
    •    R2:       209 Cootharaba Downs Road, to the south-east;
    •    R3:       55 Hatch Road to the south-south-west;
    •    R4:       24 Kabi Road to the west – southern side of Kabi Road;
    •    R5:       27 Kabi Road to the west – northern side of Kabi Road.
