NOOSA COUNCIL IDAS Development Application Decision Notice                                                     10 of 15


81.       Noise emission from mechanical equipment (air conditioners, refrigeration equipment or pool pumps etc)
          shall comply with the following requirements:
          The equipment shall be installed and located in a manner that prevents excessive noise in accordance
          with Council's Local Law No. 12 - Control of Nuisances. Infringement Notices (on-the-spot fines) may
          apply for offences.

          A person must not use equipment on any day If it makes or causes noise to be made -

          From 10pm to 7am: Not more than the higher of either -
•         40 dB(A)

•         3 dB(A) above the background noise level

•         No audible noise for pool pumps apply during these hours.
                   From 7am to 7pm: More than the lower of either -

•         50 dB(A)

•         5 dB(A) above the background noise level
          From 7pm to 10pm: More than 3 dB(A) above the background noise level.
82.       Submission of written certification from a suitably qualified person confirming that the noise levels from all
          mechanical equipment complies with the requirements of Noosa Council Local Law No. 12 - Control of
          Nuisances and the requirements of the Environmental Protection Regulation 1998.
          The assessment and certification is required immediately after installation of the equipment and prior to
          any occupation of the building, and in a format approved by Council. This assessment must take into
          account noise from any other fixed equipment on the property e.g. swimming pool pump, heating/cooling
          equipment, etc that may increase the overall noise level emitted.

          Advice: It is highly recommended that the person you engage to certify the installation is involved at the
          plan development stage so they can recommend where this equipment is best located. They can also
          advise about noise enclosures and can make other suggestions to avoid noise problems. It is a lot more
          costly to try and deal with noise problems after everything is built

          Ron Rumble Pty Ltd and dated November 2006, with the following additional details to be provided prior to
