                                                                                                     MCU15/0058

                                                 Noise level at a commercial place measured as the adjusted
                                PERIOD
                                                 maximum sound pressure level (Lamax, adj,T)
                                7am – 6pm        Background noise level (LAbg,T) plus 10 dB(A)
                                6pm – 10pm       Background noise level plus10 dB(A)
                                10pm – 7am       Background noise level plus 8 dB(A)

                      7.      When requested by Noosa Council, a Noise Impact Assessment Report (NIAR)
                              showing monitoring and recording of noise levels must be undertaken to
                              investigate any non-vexatious complaint caused by noise emissions from
                              operations of the facility. Such monitoring must be undertaken and completed
                              within a reasonable and practicable timeframe as nominated by Council and be
                              performed by a suitably qualified and experienced person.
                      8.      The NIAR is to be submitted to Council detailing the results of such monitoring and
                              recommendations for any measures to achieve compliance with limits outlined in
                              Table 1 of this Decision Notice.
                      9.      Rectification works will be required within a reasonable timeframe as set by
                              Council where equipment, air conditioning units, motors, electrical generators,
                              compressors, etc exceed the Noise Limits of Table 1.
                      10.     Measurement of sound pressure levels (adjusted for tonality and impulse) must be
                              in accordance with Australian Standard AS1055.1 “Acoustics – Description and
                              measurement of environmental noise – General procedures”.
                      11.     For the purpose of measuring and certifying relevant noise conditions and
                              reporting (eg. equipment, air conditioning units, motors, electrical generators,
                              compressors, etc), a suitably qualified person is either:
                              i.       a Registered Professional Engineer of Queensland, or
                              ii.      an environmental consultant with a minimum of 3 years current experience in
                                       the field of acoustics.
                      Health and Safety
                      12.     The development must not, at any time during the life of the development, result in
                              human exposure to environmental electromagnetic emissions exceeding the
                              current regulations, standards and/or recommendations of the Australian Radiation
                              Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA). The carrier of the
                              infrastructure must provide, prior to commencement of use/transmission, written
                              certification to demonstrate compliance with this condition. Certification must be
                              based on full power transmission.
                      13.     Warning information signs and security fencing must be provided on the site to
                              prevent unauthorised entry. Fencing must be camouflaged through the use of
                              colours, materials and screening vegetation to blend the fence into the visual
                              landscape.
                      Colours and Finishes
                      14.     The monopole and associated panels must be finished in colours that blend in
                              visually into the landscape.
                      Cessation of Use
                      15.     The telecommunications facility must be removed from the site upon cessation of
                              the use.
