PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                8 NOVEMBER 2016



                                            Table 1
                                NOISE LIMITS AT A SENSITIVE RECEPTOR
                          (Excludes On-Site Ancillary Dwelling Unit – Caretakers Unit)
           PERIOD           Noise level at noise sensitive place measured as the adjusted
                            maximum sound pressure level (Lamax, adj,T)
           7am – 6pm        Background noise level (LAbg,T) plus 5 dB(A)
           6pm – 10pm       Background noise level plus 5 dB(A)
           10pm – 7am       Inaudible
                                 NOISE LEVELS AT COMMERCIAL PLACE
           PERIOD           Noise level at a commercial place measured as the adjusted
                            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)

    22.   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 at the
          premises. 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.
          The NIAR must 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.
    23.   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”.
          For the purpose of measuring and certifying relevant noise conditions and reporting
          (eg. mechanical plant and equipment, a/c units, motors, refrigeration equipment,
          compressors, pumps etc ), a suitably qualified person is either:
          a.   a Registered Professional Engineer of Queensland, or
          b.   an environmental consultant with a minimum of 3 years current experience in
               the field of acoustics.
          Outdoor Lighting Devices
    24.   Lighting associated with the use must be designed, sited, installed and tested to
          comply with Table 2.1 & 2.2 of Australian Standard AS4282-1997 “Control of the
          obtrusive effects of outdoor lighting” using a control level of 1.
    25.   Certification must be submitted to Council from a qualified person which certifies that
          all outdoor lighting devices comply with the requirements of this Decision Notice at
          the time of commissioning.
          For the purpose of certifying outdoor lighting devices for the development, a qualified
          person is:
          a.   a Registered Professional Engineer of Queensland;
          b.   an environmental or electrical design consultant with a minimum of 3 years
               current experience in the field of outdoor lighting.
