With respect to the above extract it should be noted that this is not a direct transcript, as some of the
detail was not included in the Noosa Council Change to an Existing Approval document dated 18

Australian Standard 2107:2000

In accordance with Australian Standard 2107:2000 Acoustics – Recommended design sound levels and
reverberation times for building interiors the recommended design sound levels for building interiors,
namely houses and apartments near minor roads, are:

                                                                    Recommended Level, LAeq,
                              Type of Occupancy                            dB(A)
                                                                   Satisfactory         Maximum
               Living area                                              30                  40
               Sleeping area                                            30                  35
               Work areas                                               35                  40

For the night-time period for sleeping areas the above 30 dB(A) L Aeq,T is the same as the acoustic
quality objective for the same time period, for inside.


Measured Evening Background Noise Level

On Monday 2 December and Wednesday 18 December 2019 noise assessments were conducted
adjacent to the rear (eastern) boundary of Block 3, with the kitchen exhaust fan of the Facilities Building
turned off and any other plant and equipment associated with the Facilities Building inaudible.

For Monday 2 December the early evening background sound level was an average of 40 dB(A) LA90,T.
For Wednesday 18 December the late evening background sound level was 38 dB(A) LA90,T.

The adopted evening (1800 to 2200 hours) background sound level is 40 dB(A) LA90,T and the adopted
early night-time (2200 hours to midnight) background sound level is a conservative 35 dB(A) LA90,T.
