Environmental Noise Level Study for Proposed Industrial Business Type 2 (Production, Alteration, Repackaging
and Repairing), 5 Taylor Court, Cooroy                                                                         Page 1 of 17


INTRODUCTION

It is proposed to develop the currently vacant subject site at 5 Taylor Court, Cooroy (Lot 5 on
SP197617) with industrial sheds – “Industrial Business – Type 2, production, alteration, repackaging
and repairing”. Potential noise sources associated with these proposed industrial sheds could include:

•   delivery vehicles, both raw materials and finished product;
•   passenger vehicle movements on site;
•   manufacturing machinery, including both metalwork and woodwork;
•   motor vehicle repairs; and
•   plant and equipment.

Traffic noise from the Bruce Highway, a Department of Transport and Main Roads (DTMR) controlled
road, is quite significant 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 must be considered for accommodation activities, child care centres and
educational establishments and hospitals. Traffic noise impact does not require consideration for this
proposed development.

The closest residences to the subject site (and separation distance) are as follows (as determined from
site visit and Google Maps):

•   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.

This report details the results of this extended ambient noise level assessment, noise limits, typical
source noise levels for the proposed development, source noise levels calculated to the closest
residential premises, state of compliance with noise limits and any required noise control measures.
