MCU16/0079 Appendix F - Environmental Noise Imact Assessment

6.0       RECOMMENDED ACOUSTIC TREATMENTS

6.1      Onsite Activity Acoustic Treatment Recommendations
We recommend that the following acoustic treatments be incorporated into the development to
mitigate onsite activity noise:

     Use of the southern outdoor deck at the function / dining extension should be limited to the
      daytime and evening periods between 7am and 10pm.

     Sound lock doors be installed at the proposed smoker’s terrace as detailed in the attached
      development plans (Rubicon: Proposed Ground Floor Plans: Stage 4 plan and Stage 5 & 6 plan).

     Staff should be diligent in maintaining acceptable activities and noise levels from the patrons at
      the proposed smoker’s terrace, particularly after 10pm; and at the southern outdoor deck at the
      function / dining extension.

     Driveways, ramps and carpark areas be finished with surface coatings which prevent tyre squeal
      (an uncoated surface is acceptable).

     Drainage grating over trafficable areas be well secured to prevent rattling.

     Mechanical plant be designed and installed to comply with the noise criterion presented in
      Section 4.1.2. As final plant selection has not been completed, an assessment of plant should be
      conducted during the design phase, and a Certificate provided to the Building Certifier
      confirming that installed plant achieves the noise limit criteria.

         Based upon the assumed source levels, the exhaust discharge ducting is likely require a 90o
          bend at the outlet end of the exhaust fan/s. The ducting is to have acoustic insulation before
          and after the bend. The car park exhaust discharge riser is to be lined with 50mm thick
          insulation (hydrophobic fibreglass batts min. 32kg/m2) faced with perforated metal (min.
          12% open face area).
