PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                      8 MAY 2018


           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)

    59.   When requested by Council, a Noise Impact Assessment Report (NIAR) showing
          monitoring and recording of noise levels must be undertaken to investigate any
          complaint (other than a frivolous or vexatious complaint) caused by noise emissions
          from operations at the premises.
    60.   Such monitoring must be undertaken within a reasonable and practicable timeframe
          nominated by Council and be performed by a suitably qualified person in accordance
          with accepted guidelines and standards. The report 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.
          For the purpose of measuring and certifying relevant noise conditions and reporting
          (e.g. mechanical plant and equipment, a/c units, motors, refrigeration equipment,
          compressors, pumps, rooftop plant and equipment. etc) a suitably qualified person is
          either:
          a.    a Registered Professional Engineer of Queensland, or
          b.    an environmental consultant with a minimum of three (3) years current
                experience in the field of acoustics.
          Rainwater/Detention Tanks
    61.   In accordance with the Public Health Act 2005, rainwater tanks (including the
          detention tank) must be constructed with mosquito proof screens (made from either
          brass, copper, aluminium or stainless steel), and constructed with a mesh size of no
          more than 1mm, and must be installed in a way that does not accelerate corrosion.
          Tanks that contain flap valves must be installed so that when closed, mosquitoes
          cannot pass through the valve.
    62.   Where it is intended to use rainwater for drinking purposes, a suitable treatment
          system is required to be installed to disinfect or treat the water to microbiological and
          physical standards as described in the current Australian Drinking Water Guidelines
          to make it fit for drinking purposes.
    WASTE
          Waste Disposal
    63.   The developer must provide waste storage and disposal facilities in accordance with
          Planning Scheme Policy No. 9 “Waste Management Multi-Dwellings and Commercial
          and Industrial Premises”. The facilities must include an external impervious area
          correctly sized for all refuse and recycling containers and suitably screened from
          public places and neighbouring properties. A bin wash area is required with a cold-
          water tap, hose and drain outlet connected to sewer, via a bucket trap. The drain
          outlet must be designed to prevent storm water entry to the sewerage system. This
          can be achieved with a nib wall 50mm high and up to 700mm x 700mm wide (max
          0.5m²), or alternatively the waste area can be roofed, or any other design approved
          by Council.
    64.   Refuse containers must be provided in accordance with the requirements of the
          Environmental Protection (Interim Waste) Regulation 1996 and (Waste Management)
          Regulation 2000, for the storage and collection of refuse.

                                                                                   Page 13 of 125
