      Stationary and mobile equipment including offsite vehicles would be maintained regularly.
      Operation would be limited to occur within the approved hours.
     Continuous training through inductions and ongoing meetings would be provided for operators,
      labourers, subcontractors and supervisors, to keep minimal noise impacts on local residents and
      businesses top of mind.
     Notifications of particularly noisy works would be undertaken prior to any planned works
      commencing. This would include either personal or community meetings with adjoining
      properties owners and/or tenants, this process will be undertaken in particular prior to
      Demolition and Excavation phase of the project.
     Regular servicing of equipment , or when an individual plant item are identified as being
      particularly noisy, would be conducted.
     A construction noise monitoring plan for the construction period prior to commencing works
      would be designed and implemented.
      All complaints in relation to noise would be monitored and recorded.
     An onsite person would be identified as the contact point in the event of noise complaints with
      contact details provided within the Construction Management Plan.


Monitoring
The Main Contractor may engage an independent acoustic / vibration consultant to install and monitor
noise and vibration logging equipment at suitable locations if necessary.
Noise monitoring
Noise monitoring may be undertaken to monitor and help minimize construction noise in order to avoid
discomfort to the building occupants and their cliental, the public, and occupants of surrounding
premises.

Locations for the monitors would be selected strategically based on assessment of the nearest
affected receivers. Should they be installed in an unsecure location, typically the noise monitoring
equipment would be housed in a steel cage to prevent damage, theft or vandalism.
Manned Noise Monitors

Manned noise monitoring may be undertaken to assess specific and new work methodologies
when required. Construction methods will be reviewed and changed if required.
Noise Reports may be prepared on an as required basis i.e. monthly.
Community Liaison will be carried out if required to address any community concerns regarding noise.

Vibration Monitoring
Vibration monitoring during the demolition and structural new build phases may be undertaken in
order to monitor potential human discomfort and potential structural / heritage damage in and around
the existing buildings.
The specific vibration monitoring methods that will be used are identified within the Construction Vibration
Plan.
   Upon establishment of the required vibration monitoring equipment, monitoring will be carried
    out on a regular basis to ensure work is being undertaken within the agreed vibration levels.
    Working hours, work methods and site practices will be reviewed accordingly.
   Vibration monitoring reports will be prepared on an as required basis i.e. monthly or incident
    reporting.
Monitoring will be carried out on a regular basis throughout the project. The four main activities of
work that are expected to provide vibration and noise that will require monitoring are:
