4.0 NOISE CRITERIA
4.1 Noise impacts from Surrounding Noise Sources on the Proposed Development

SC6.2.4 Appendix 1 - Requirements for technical assessments and reports of the Noose Shire Plan 2020 set
out the requirements for various technical reports including acoustic assessment reports. This section of the
Noose Shire Plan 2020 states an acoustic assessment report may be required if:

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).

In relation to the proposed development it is located in proximity to a number of commercial businesses to
the north and a storage yard for a scaffolding business to the east. Noise impacts from these businesses on
the proposed development will be considered in line with requirements for technical reports from the Noose
Shire Plan 2020. In addition to this noise impacts from the pool area on the neighbouring residential area
and internal vehicle movements on some bedrooms will also be considered.


SC6.2.4 Appendix 1 - Requirements for technical assessments and reports of the Noose Shire Plan 2020
states that acoustic assessment report should have regard to the following standards when assessing noise
imapcts:

1.           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;
2.           Environmental Protection Act 1994 and Environmental Protection (Noise) Policy 2008 (EPP Noise);
3.           Noise Measurement Manual Department of Environment and Heritage Protection 2013
4.           Road Traffic Noise Management Code of Practice, Department of Transport and Main Roads, 2008.


In order to assess the noise impacts from the surrounding businesses on the proposed development
reference will be made to Australian Standard AS 2107 Acoustics – Recommended design sound levels and
reverberation times for building interiors and the Environmental Protection (Noise) Policy 2008 (EPP Noise).
Australian/New Zealand Standard AS/NZ 2107- Recommended Design Sound Levels and Reverberation
Times for Building Interiors contains internal design sound levels for buildings of various types. Section 7 of
Table 1 of this standard contains the design sound level for residential buildings. This section of the standard
has been reproduced over the page.
