        22.   Mechanical plant and equipment, a/c units, motors, refrigeration equipment,
              compressors, pumps etc on site should be situated within the building or suitably
              provided with noise reduction measures and located as to prevent a noise

              TABLE 1
                      NOISE LIMITS AT A SENSITIVE RECEPTOR
                               Noise level at noise sensitive place measured as the adjusted
               PERIOD
                               maximum sound pressure level (L10, adj,T)
               7am – 6pm           Background noise level (L90,T) plus 5 Db(A)
               6pm – 10pm          Background noise level plus 5 Db(A)
               10pm – 7am      Background noise level plus 3 Db(A)
                      NOISE LIMITS AT A COMMERCIAL PLACE

               PERIOD
                               maximum sound pressure level (L10, adj,T)
               7am – 6pm           Background noise level (L90,T) plus 10 Db(A)
               6pm – 10pm          Background noise level plus10 Db(A)
               10pm – 7am          Background noise level plus 8 Db(A)

        23.   When requested by Council, a Noise Impact Assessment Report (NIAR) showing
              monitoring and recording of noise levels must be undertaken to investigate any
              complaint (other than a frivolous or vexatious complaint) caused by noise
              emissions from operations at the premises. Such monitoring must be undertaken
              within a reasonable and practicable timeframe nominated by Council and be
              performed by a suitably qualified person in accordance with accepted guidelines
              and standards. The report must be submitted to Council detailing the results of
              such monitoring and recommendations for any measures to achieve compliance
              with limits outlined in Table 1 of this Decision Notice.
              For the purpose of measuring and certifying relevant noise conditions and
              reporting (e.g. mechanical plant and equipment, a/c units, motors, refrigeration
              equipment, compressors, pumps, rooftop plant and equipment. Etc) a suitably
              qualified person is either:
