Environmental Noise Level Study for Proposed Industrial Business Type 2 (Production, Alteration, Repackaging
and Repairing), 5 Taylor Court, Cooroy                                                                         Page 11 of 17




Traffic noise from the Bruce Highway is a significant noise source on the subject site and in the
surrounding rural/residential area. In accordance with the State Development Assessment Provisions,
State Code 1: Development in a State - Controlled Road Environment traffic noise impact does not
require consideration for this proposed development.

The closest residences to the subject site (and separation distance) are as follows:

•   west, on the eastern side of Ferrells Road, approximately 470 metres;
•   east on the northern side of Nandroya Road, approximately 430 metres;
•   south-west on the eastern side of Ferrells Road, approximately 355 metres.

To assess current ambient noise levels the results of a 2013 extended (7-day) ambient noise
assessment which was conducted from 72 Ferrells Road, from the front (western) boundary of this
property, for another project, was adopted. The permission of the owners of this private property is
appreciated and acknowledged. This property was selected as it is more distant from the Bruce
Highway, as throughout this area traffic noise from the Highway dominates.

Based on the calculations detailed in this report all potential noise sources associated with the proposed
industrial sheds comply with the noise limits at all of the above closest residences, for the complete 24-
hour day. To achieve this compliance with the noise limits no additional noise control measures are
required.


RECOMMENDATION

It is recommended that, from an environmental noise perspective, the proposed industrial sheds be
approved, with no noise control measures required for 24-hour operation.
