5.1 General

       The objective of this section is to identify the proposed methods that will be employed to
       minimise the impact of noise, vibration and air quality in the vicinity of the development.

5.2 Noise and Vibration Management

       The normal hours of work will typically be 7.00am to 5.30pm, Monday to Saturday excluding
       public holidays. Noise management will generally be in accordance with the QLD DEHP
       environmental noise management criteria. All plant will be regularly maintained and log books
       kept ensuring that there are no excess noise emissions. Where it is practical, electric
       machinery will be used in lieu of mechanical devices.

       All subcontractors will be responsible for managing noise and vibration in accordance with
       their project specific Management Plans.

       It is proposed to undertake some after hour’s works for specific tasks to minimise impacts to
       pedestrians, vehicular traffic or in the interest of safety. The works that are proposed to be
       undertaken outside of normal working hours include the following:

          • Fencing works;

          • Crane erection and dismantling; and

          • Footpath works.

       All after hour’s works will be subject to the engagement and communication with all identified
       stakeholders. Consultation with the Noosa Shire Council will occur at all times prior to any
       works being scheduled. All surrounding residents will be given notification via email, letter box
       drop and personal contact of all the proposed after hours works prior to the works
       commencing which will include details of the works and the time to undertake each activity.

5.3 Air Quality / Dust Management

       Dust control measures will be implemented as required and will be in accordance with QLD
       Workplace health and safety regulations and Environmental Protection Act.

       Dust management will be most critical during the demolition phase of the project, with the
       subcontractors for these trades specifically dealing with dust management within their
       project specific management plans.

       Prior to commencement of construction, neighbouring residents shall be notified in writing by
       letter drop of the construction period, designated working hours and contacts regarding
       complaints of excessive air quality issues.

       Measures that may be employed include:

           •   Activities are to only be conducted during suitable weather conditions.
