8        NOOSA CIVIC SHOPPING CENTRE MECHANICAL PLANT – ACOUSTIC
         TREATMENTS

The required acoustic treatments to the mechanical plant servicing Noosa Civic Shopping Centre
summarised below:

8.1       MECHANICAL PLANT OPERATING HOURS:

    a. The chillers in the mechanical plant room are switched off at 9pm and shall not be operational during
       the night time period (location 7);
    b. Previous assessment included recommendation for condenser units to either be operational with
       reduced capacity to lower the noise emissions by 5dB(A) or are switched off during the night time
       period. Due to the operation hours of the shopping centre, this assumption has been now excluded
       and we expect the condensers to operate prior to 7am;
    c. Mechanical plant adjacent and within loading docks is not operational between 9pm and 7am
       Monday – Saturday, and 6pm and 8am on Sunday (location 7 and adjacent to loading docks); and
    d. Kitchen exhaust fans are not operational between 9pm and 7am Monday – Saturday, and 6pm and
       8am on Sunday.
