Environmental Noise Level Study for Proposed Service Station and Fast Food Premises, 6 Taylor Court, Cooroy   Page 1 of 15



INTRODUCTION

It is proposed to develop the subject site at 6 Taylor Court, Cooroy (Lot 3 on SP197617) with a service
station and fast food premises. This proposed development would operate 24-hours per day.

Potential noise sources associated with this proposed service station and fast food premises would
include:

   fuel delivery – semi trailers;
   passenger vehicle and fixed and articulated truck movements on site;
   service yard and carparking;
   forecourt activities; and
   service station shop and fast food premises 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 area. In accordance with DTMR
traffic noise must be considered for residential, educational, health facilities and offices. 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 450 metres;
   east on the northern side of Nandroya Road, approximately 360 metres;
   south-west on the eastern side of Ferrells Road, approximately 430 metres.

To assess current ambient noise levels an extended (7-day) ambient noise assessment was conducted
from 72 Ferrells Road, from the front (western) boundary of this property. The permission of the owners
of this private property is appreciated and acknowledged. This property was selected as one with the
quietest ambient noise levels, as it is one of the more distant properties 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.

In preparing this report, the following drawings prepared by Reddog Architects, project number 12480-
276 were referenced:
