During the noise assessments at the three closest adjoining residential properties which were
accessed by the consultant, a source noise level of 76 dB(A) LA90,T and 78 dB(A) LA10,T was audible at
the closest side of the residences at 268 and 295 Tablelands Road, and only just barely audible on the
side of the deck closest to this noise source at 374 Tablelands Road.


Without the noise source present the background noise levels at these residences, at the time of this
assessment, were 35 to 37 dB(A) LA90,T with no insect noise present.

The atmospheric conditions, at the time of this assessment, were representative of worst case
scenario for the residences to the north, near the entrance to the National Park.
