I am aware of the professional Noise Level Assessment done by David Moore & .
Associates and confirm that I agree with his findings in this report after witnessmg t
practical test done today.
A background noise level was recorded for a period of 20 minutes with the lowest
possible noise level of 29.8dB(A)recorded. I believe this to be the lowest possible
noise level for the area during daylight hours on any day or any time of the year. the
average for this period was 36.2dB(A)
A "Kymco MXU 300" quad bike was ridden on the proposed training track of298
Tablelands Road, by an inexperienced rider. The bike was governed so as not to
exceed 3500rpm. The noise level was measured from a distance of 10 meters from the
track with the average noise level calculated at 59.4 dB(A).
We then generated a motor noise using a ’Kubota"tractor, producing a cons1<!nt
75dB(A)measured at a 10m distance on the proposed quad bike training area of298
Tablelands Road. This noise was tested over a period of 10 minutes with the lowest
.
recorded sound level never falling below 75 dB(A).
With no change to this generated noise. We then measured the lowest recorded noise
over a period of 10 minutes, located one meter from the southern external comer of
the house at 374 Tablelands Road, closest to the noise source. The lowest recorded
noise level was 31dB(A). The temperature was 18 degrees Celsius with the wind
never exceeding 2 knbts from the East during the period oftesting.

This test clearly shows the practicality of the effect of both terrain and vegetation
impacting on noise reduction. It proves that the estimates in the David Moore report
.
are correct. It is a known fact that vegetation do ct on noise..reductin
and this simple test proves it.

I can assure Council there will be no impact from the noise generated by this
proposed tour business. I have based this on both a practical test done with Charles
Marais as well as a test of the proposed quad bikes to be used.
Surely Council must see that this whole questioning ofthe noise report is just another
attack against the proposal from a joint effort ofthe Fowler/Schofield campaign. To
date the Fowler/Schofield attack has been pointed to every possible part of the
proposed business and has clearly cost Charles Marais way too much in defending the
claims and the delays in starting this highly supported tourism business.
I trust Council will take my confirmation of the sound testing seriously and approve
this application for a material change of use without any further delays.
