ORDINARY MEETING AGENDA                                                          20 APRIL 2017


        Building Height
                The maximum height of the structure must not exceed 46 metres above the
                finished ground level and the natural ground surface.
                Certification must be submitted to Council from a Licensed Surveyor which
                certifies that the monopole structure does not exceed the maximum height
                requirement of this Decision Notice.
                No lights are permitted to be attached to the telecommunications facility, except
                where required for aircraft hazard lighting purposes or similar.
        Noise
                Equipment, motors, electrical generators, compressors, etc must be suitably
                provided with noise reduction measures and located so as to prevent a noise
                nuisance beyond the boundary of the site and not exceed the levels specified in
                Table 1.
                                              TABLE 1
                                  NOISE LIMITS AT A SENSITIVE RECEPTOR
                      Noise level at noise sensitive place measured as the adjusted maximum
    PERIOD
                      sound pressure level (LAmax, adj,T)
    7am – 6pm         Background noise level (LAbg,T) plus 5 dB(A)
    6pm – 10pm        Background noise level plus 5 dB(A)
    10pm – 7am        Inaudible
                                  NOISE LIMITS AT A COMMERCIAL PLACE
                      Noise level at a commercial place measured as the adjusted maximum
    PERIOD
                      sound pressure level (Lamax, adj,T)
    7am – 6pm          Background noise level (LAbg,T) plus 10 dB(A)
    6pm – 10pm         Background noise level plus10 dB(A)
    10pm – 7am         Background noise level plus 8 dB(A)

                When requested by Noosa Council, a Noise Impact Assessment Report (NIAR)
                showing monitoring and recording of noise levels must be undertaken to
                investigate any non-vexatious complaint caused by noise emissions from
                operations of the facility. Such monitoring must be undertaken and completed
                within a reasonable and practicable timeframe as nominated by Council and be
                performed by a suitably qualified and experienced person.
                The NIAR is to 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.
                Rectification works will be required within a reasonable timeframe as set by
                Council where equipment, air conditioning units, motors, electrical generators,
                compressors, etc exceed the Noise Limits of Table 1.
                Measurement of sound pressure levels (adjusted for tonality and impulse) must
                be in accordance with Australian Standard AS1055.1 “Acoustics – Description
                and measurement of environmental noise – General procedures”.
                For the purpose of measuring and certifying relevant noise conditions and
                reporting (eg. equipment, air conditioning units, motors, electrical generators,
                compressors, etc), a suitably qualified person is either:
                i.    a Registered Professional Engineer of Queensland, or
                ii.   an environmental consultant with a minimum of 3 years current experience
                      in the field of acoustics.


                                                                                   Page 6 of 21
