DA ACOUSTIC REPORT
1 Introduction
Renzo Tonin & Associates was engaged to undertake an operational noise assessment to support the
Development Application (DA) for the proposed place of worship (mosque) and community centre,
located at 88-90 and 92 Botany Street, Carlton.
The development is proposed to have a maximum 120-patron capacity and 22 car spaces located on
site. The proposed operational hours are from 5:30am to 9:55pm (Monday to Sunday).
However, it should be noted that the effective usage hours of the mosque for prayers are as follows
(except month of Ramadan) - Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday – 1.5
hours per day and on Fridays – 2 hours per day.
A patronage size of 100 will only occur once per week (Friday midday prayer) with other prayer services
attracting a maximum of 20 people.
Up to 10 times per year, (typically expected to be public holidays that fall on a Friday, and first two and
last two days of Ramadan), a maximum capacity of 120 is expected.
The primary aspect of noise emission will be from on-site vehicle movements and carparking, breakout
noise from internal areas and traffic generated on the public road system.
The report quantifies noise emission from activities associated with the development and assesses
operational noise on nearby sensitive receivers in accordance with the noise requirements of the NSW
Noise Policy for Industry (NPfI) and the NSW Road Noise Policy (RNP). These potential noise generating
activities relate only to the mosque’s prayer sessions which are limited to 1.5 hours per day and 2 hours
on Fridays, with the exception of Ramadan.
The work documented in this report was carried out in accordance with the Renzo Tonin & Associates
Quality Assurance System, which is based on Australian Standard / NZS ISO 9001. APPENDIX A contains
a glossary of acoustic terms used in this report.

2.2.1 Discussion regarding prayer time
It should be noted that Ramadan prayers that commence late are those that happen to fall over the
longest daylight days in summer and are cyclical and only take place with reference to the lunar
calendar cycle. The late prayer sessions for Ramadan month also don’t always cover the full month
period either (see explanation below). This means that this acoustic/noise report has assessed the
ultimate worst case scenario but the frequency that these occur is irregular but dictated by a 33 year
cycle.
The Muslim calendar is based on the Lunar calendar rather than the Gregorian calendar. The points
below and the Ramadan Cycle diagram in Figure 1, help to explain this.
a) The Muslim calendar is 10-12 days shorter than the Gregorian calendar.
b) Ramadan therefore commences earlier each year until it progressively returns back to the
start of the cycle every 33 years.
c) Ramadan prayer sessions follow sunsets of whichever season they fall onto.

DA ACOUSTIC REPORT
d) Ramadan prayers commence the latest (in the day) when Ramadan falls over the longest days
of a summer season (19 December to 26 January), where the sunset is so late that it occurs
between 8-8:10pm.
e) In these scenarios, Ramadan can span up to 1 month in duration (though most adjacent
years are less, see below) and take place each year for 5 years of the 33 year cycle.
f) In accordance with Islamic practices, a minimum 1 hour time is necessary before evening
prayer can commence equating to a 9:10pm commencement time for prayers.
g) The next time a scenario where Ramadan will occur return to a cycle that affects the longest
days of the summer seasons in the year of 2029.
h) For the remaining 28 years in the 33 year cycle, all other Ramadan commencement times will
be commensurately earlier and align with sunsets of the relevant season.
i) The next time these late Ramadan prayer sessions will occur will be in 2029:
• In 2029 – 11 days
• In 2030 – 21 days
• In 2031 – 29-30 days
• In 2032 – 22 days
• In 2033 – 15 days
• From 2034 and ongoing – nil (until next cycle)
Renzo Tonin & Associates has assessed the worst case scenario where acoustic and noise impacts occur
later in the evening for reasons stated above. The above explanation also provides an accord of how the
month of Ramadan is affected by the Lunar calendar through its natural shifts and cycles. It shows that
over the 33 year cycle, only over 5 years would Ramadan have a commencement time of 9:10pm and
they would all complete by 9:45pm. Over this 5 year span, only in the year of 2031 would span the full
Ramadan month with years 2031 and 2032 spanning over 21 and 22 days, respectively. For years 2029
and 2033 Ramadan would only affect 11 and 15 days out of the full month, respectively.

2.4 Acoustic assessment methodology
In order to assess the potential noise impact from the development the following methodology was
used:
• Identify nearest most potentially affected receiver locations to the subject site
• Determine existing background noise levels at the nearest most potentially affected receiver
locations
• Use measured background noise levels to establish noise goals in accordance with the
relevant noise criteria
• Using predictive noise modelling, determine the extent of noise impacts from the proposal at
potentially affected receiver locations
• Identify if noise emission from the area under investigation may exceed the relevant noise
criteria (outlined in Section 0), and
• Where noise emission from the area under investigation may exceed the relevant noise
criteria (outlined in Section 0), provide recommendations to reduce noise impacts from the
site.

2.6 Assessment locations
The identified assessment locations are outlined in Table 5 below and are shown in Figure 3.
The assessment height that has been adopted is 1.5 metre above ground level for ground floor, plus 3.0
metres for additional floors. R3 is a single level dwelling but is elevated along the western facade so an
assessment height of 4.0 metres above ground level has been used. For each individual receiver, the
ground level assessment has been made at the nearest / worst affected location within the property and
the upper-level assessment has been made at the nearest / worst affected window/balcony.

DA ACOUSTIC REPORT
3 Existing noise environment
Criteria for the assessment of operational noise are usually derived from the existing noise environment
of an area, excluding noise from the subject development.
Fact Sheet B of the NSW EPA Noise Policy for Industry (NPfI) outlines two methods for determining the
background noise level of an area, being ‘B1 - Determining background noise using long-term noise
measurements’ and ‘B2 - Determining background noise using short-term noise measurements’. This
assessment has used a combination of long-term and short-term noise monitoring to further improve
the rigour of assessment.
As the noise environment of an area almost always varies over time, background and ambient noise
levels need to be determined for the operational times of the proposed development. For example, in a
suburban or urban area the noise environment is typically at its minimum at 3:00am in the morning and
at its maximum during the morning and afternoon traffic peak hours. The NPfI outlines the following
standard time periods over which the background and ambient noise levels are to be determined:
• Day: 07:00-18:00 Monday to Saturday and 08:00-18:00 Sundays & Public Holidays
• Evening: 18:00-22:00 Monday to Sunday & Public Holidays
• Night: 22:00-07:00 Monday to Saturday and 22:00-08:00 Sundays & Public Holidays
The NPfI also outlines methods for assessing 'shoulder periods' being shorter periods on either side of a
standard period, where the standard period noise levels are not representative. For example a 'shoulder
period' may be warranted for 05:00-07:00 where the night time period background noise level is not
representative. Fact Sheet A, Section A3 of the NPfI outlines two suitable methods to determine the
shoulder period background noise level.
3.1 Noise measurement locations
Noise measurements are ideally carried out at the nearest or most potentially affected locations
surrounding a site. In circumstances where there may be restrictions on access or the unavailability of
safe and secure locations to establish monitoring equipment, then a suitable alternative location should
be established. These are known as representative locations. Furthermore, representative locations may
be established where multiple receivers have been identified, as it is usually impractical to carry out
measurements at all locations surrounding a site.
The long-term and short-term measurement locations are outlined in Table 6 and shown in Figure 3 and
APPENDIX B. Photos are provided in APPENDIX B for clarity. These measurement locations are
considered conservative as the locations are located at the rear of the property with significant shielding
from Botany Street. Whereas the most sensitive assessment points (i.e. windows) of the surrounding
residences are elevated (4m and greater above the ground) and have more exposure to Botany Street.
The effect is that some receiver locations (particularly R1 and R4) would most likely have higher criteria
than what has been adopted.

DA ACOUSTIC REPORT
At the time of the measurements in 2019 and 2021, the existing development at 88-90 Botany Street,
Carlton (Botany Gardens Nursing Home) was permanently closed. The facility was vacant, and no
mechanical plant from the site was operating.
Multiple attempts were made to engage with residential locations, 84 Botany Street, Carlton; 86 Botany
Street, Carlton; and 27 Xenia Avenue, Carlton to utilise their backyards for long term noise monitoring
but were unsuccessful. Renzo Tonin & Associates testing methodology has been undertaken to address
this constraint, with short term monitoring undertaken again to test consistency.

3.2 Short-term noise measurement results
3.2.1 Site background noise levels
Outline of methodology and description of technique
Short-term noise measurements were undertaken during the daytime of Wednesday, 26 May 2021 in
order to supplement the long-term noise monitoring. Furthermore, the 3 hour short term noise
measurements were undertaken to determine if reflective surfaces have any effect on the previously
captured background noise level (LA90) and justify why facade corrections are not applicable to the LA90
descriptor and why a 2.5dB adjustment is not required for monitoring location L1.
The equipment used for noise measurements was an RTA Technology RTA06 noise logger which is based
on an NTi Audio Type XL2 precision sound level analyser which is a class 1 instrument having accuracy
suitable for field and laboratory use. The instrument was calibrated prior and subsequent to
measurements using a Bruel & Kjaer Type 4231 calibrator. No significant drift in calibration was
observed. All instrumentation complies with IEC 61672 (parts 1-3) 'Electroacoustics - Sound Level Meters'
and IEC 60942 'Electroacoustics - Sound calibrators' and carries current NATA certification (or if less than
2 years old, manufacturers certification).
The recording time of the equipment, on both loggers, was set to be exactly the same so that a direct
comparison of results could be made. During observations throughout the measurement, the ambient
LAeq noise level was determined by local traffic and the background LA90 was determined by school
(Sydney Technical High School), neighbourhood noise and distant traffic.
Results/findings
A summary of the short-term measurement results is presented in Table 7. The data confirms that the
difference in background LA90 noise level is insignificant. In summary, earlier background noise
monitoring has been demonstrated to be consistent and accurate with any new methodology proposed
by others.

Outline of methodology and description of technique
Attended noise monitoring was undertaken during the daytime of Wednesday 26 May 2021, on the
front lawn of 92 Botany Street (monitoring location S3) in order to determine car pass-by sound power
levels for cars travelling at the posted 50km/hr speed limit.
Attended noise monitoring was undertaken during the daytime of Wednesday 26 May 2021, adjacent to
the driveway of the south-west carpark at 88-90 Botany Street (monitoring location S4) in order to
determine sound power levels for cars entering and leaving the site.
The equipment used for noise measurements included an NTi Audio Type XL2 precision sound level

(AS1055) sets out procedures for the description and measurement of environmental noise.
Section 6.2.3 of AS1055 specifies:

6.2.3 Outdoor measurements near buildings
Outdoor measurements near a building shall be carried out at places where the noise to which the
building is exposed is of interest. Except when determining LA90,T, an adjustment may be necessary
where an approximation of the free field incident level is required. See Note 3.
NOTES:
1 The measurement positions should be 1 m from the facade and 1.2 m to 1.5 m above
each floor level of interest. An adjustment may be necessary where an approximation of
the free field incident level is required to account for the influence of facade reflections
(see Note 2). Where measurements are made at different levels of a multi-storey building
such as an apartment block, the location should be 1 m from the facade of the building
separating the external area from the interior area.
2 Where measurements are made near a building the importance of certain transmission
paths (for example, transmission through open or closed doors and windows) should be
considered.
3 If measurements are performed 1 m from the facade of a building and the sound is
directly incident on that facade, an approximation of the free-field incident level may
be obtained by subtracting 2.5 dB from the measured value. To characterize the effects of
the walls of a building to be erected, the addition of 2.5 dB to the free-field values may be
useful in order to estimate the sound pressure level near the walls. If measurements are
made in the plane of the facade, subtracting 6 dB from the measured value to
approximate the free-field sound level.
4 Measurements may be performed in the plane of a facade or roof of a structure utilizing a
microphone whose protection grid or diaphragm is flush with the surface. Alternative
techniques using pressure zone microphones placed against the relevant surface may be
used.
Accordingly, to obtain free field measurement results, a subtraction of 2.5dB from the measured level
(which is performed 1m from the facade) is not required for the background LA90 noise level. Despite
this, verification testing was undertaken on 26 May 2021 to verify that the measurements obtained
previously from the fence line are consistent to short term testing taken in free field (see Table 7).
3.3.2 Long-term noise measurement results
Long-term noise monitoring was carried out from Monday, 2 September 2019 to Tuesday, 10
September 2019 and from Wednesday, 26 May 2021 to Monday, 7 June 2021. The long-term noise
monitoring methodology is detailed in APPENDIX B along with photos showing the monitoring
locations, and noise level-vs-time graphs of the data are included in APPENDIX D.

shoulder period (that is, all days included in a single data set of shoulder period).
As required by the NPfI, the external ambient noise levels presented are free-field noise levels, ie. no facade reflection.
Comparison between monitoring L1 (2019) and L3 (2021) shows similar measured noise levels. The L3
RBL is slightly higher during the evening and night-time (within 2dB) and slightly lower during the
morning shoulder and daytime (within 1dB).

4 Project noise goals
4.1 NSW Noise Policy for Industry
Noise impact is assessed in accordance with the NSW NPfI. The assessment procedure has two
components:
• Controlling intrusive noise impacts in the short-term for residences; and
• Maintaining noise level amenity for residences and other land uses.
In accordance with the NPfI, noise impact should be assessed against the project noise trigger level
which is the lower value of the project intrusiveness noise levels and project amenity noise levels.
4.1.1 Project intrusive noise levels
According to the NPfI, the intrusiveness of a noise source may generally be considered acceptable if the
equivalent continuous (energy-average) A-weighted level of noise from the source (represented by the
LAeq,15min descriptor) does not exceed the background noise level measured in the absence of the source
by more than 5dB(A). The project intrusiveness noise level, which is only applicable to residential
receivers, is determined as follows:
LAeq,15minute Intrusiveness noise level = RBL plus 5dB(A)
Based on the background noise monitoring results and the proposed operating hours of the facility, the
intrusiveness noise levels for residential receivers are reproduced in Table 10 below.
The intrusive noise levels for R1 and R2 are based on the lowest RBL obtained at either monitoring
location L1 and L3.

1. Community expectation is that the evening period intrusive noise levels are not higher than daytime intrusive noise
levels
4.1.2 Amenity noise levels
The project amenity noise levels for different time periods of day are determined in accordance with
Section 2.4 of the NPfI. The NPfI recommends amenity noise levels (LAq,period) for various receivers
including residential, commercial, industrial receivers and sensitive receivers such as schools, hotels,
hospitals, churches and parks. These “recommended amenity noise levels” represent the objective for
total industrial noise experienced at receiver location. However, when assessing a single industrial
development and its impact on an area, “project amenity noise levels” apply.
The recommended amenity noise levels applicable for the subject area are reproduced in Table 11
below.

2. On Sundays and Public Holidays, Daytime 8.00 am - 6.00 pm; Evening 6.00 pm - 10.00 pm
3. The LAeq index corresponds to the level of noise equivalent to the energy average of noise levels occurring over a
measurement period.
4. The recommended amenity noise levels refer only to noise from industrial sources. However, they refer to noise from
all such sources at the receiver location, and not only noise due to a specific project under consideration. The levels
represent outdoor levels except where otherwise stated.
In accordance with Section 2.4 of the NPfI, when determining the project amenity noise level, a
subtraction of 5dB(A) from the recommended amenity level is not required as no other industries are
present in the area,
Given that the intrusiveness noise level is based on a 15-minute assessment period and the project
amenity noise level is based on day, evening and night assessment periods, the NPfI provides the
following guidance on adjusting the LAeq,period level to a representative LAeq,15minute level in order to
standardise the time periods.
LAeq,15minute = LAeq,period + 3dB(A)

4.1.3 Project noise trigger levels
In accordance with the NPfI the project noise trigger levels, which are the lower (ie. more stringent)
value of the project intrusiveness noise level and project amenity noise level, have been determined as
shown in Table 13 below.

4. Evening: 18:00 to 22:00 Monday to Sunday & Public Holidays
4.1.4 Sleep disturbance noise levels
The potential for sleep disturbance from maximum noise level events from premises during the night-
time period needs to be considered. In accordance with NPfI, a detailed maximum noise level event
assessment should be undertaken where the subject development night-time noise levels at a
residential location exceed:
• LAeq,15min 40dB(A) or the prevailing RBL plus 5dB, whichever is the greater, and/or
• LAFmax 52dB(A) or the prevailing RBL plus 15dB, whichever is the greater.

4.2 NSW Road Noise Policy
4.2.1 Noise assessment criteria - residential land uses
Table 3 of the NPfI sets out the assessment criteria for residences to be applied on particular types of
project, road category and land use. These criteria are for assessment against facade corrected noise
levels when measured in front of a building facade. In accordance with Table 3, Botany Street, Xenia
Avenue and Ethel Lane would be classified as Local Roads. Table 15 shows the applicable criteria for
these roads.

Note: Land use developers must meet internal noise goals in the Infrastructure SEPP (Department of Planning NSW 2007) for
sensitive developments near busy roads (see Appendix C10).
Where existing traffic noise levels are above the noise assessment criteria, the primary objective is to
reduce these through feasible and reasonable mitigative measures to meet the assessment criteria. A
secondary objective is to protect against excessive decreases in amenity as the result of a project by
applying the relative increase criteria.
In assessing feasible and reasonable mitigation measures, an increase of up to 2 dB represents a minor
impact that is considered barely perceptible to the average person.
For existing residences and other sensitive land uses affected by additional traffic on existing roads
generated by land use developments, any increase in the total traffic noise level (where the assessment
criteria cannot be achieved) should be limited to 2 dB above that of the corresponding ‘no build option’.

5 Noise emission assessment
5.1 Noise sources
Noise emission from the subject site, as is assessable against the established noise goals, includes:
• Noise breakout from internal areas (for maximum 120 patron event):
Male mosque (maximum 80 patrons) - located on ground floor (with first floor void
above), along the southern facade.
Female mosque (maximum 40 patrons) - located on the first floor, along the southern
facade.
• Noise from patrons external to the building:
Potential patron speech when people transitioning between carpark and building
entries located on the northern facade.
Potential patron speech when people transitioning between footpath and building entry
located on the western facade.
• Vehicle movements and car parking
16 carpark spaces located along the northern boundary of the site, with access located
along Botany Street.
4 carpark spaces located on the south east corner of the site (for staff use), with access
located along Xenia Avenue.
2 carpark spaces located on the south west corner of the site, with access located along
Botany Street.
• Mechanical services plant and equipment
5.1.1 Noise breakout from internal areas
The noise source levels used for the predictions, presented in Table 16, are based on the noise source
and the mosque room(s) dimensions and reverberation characteristics. The noise levels presented are
considered conservative and are higher than what is expected from the various areas of the premises.
Below outlines why the noise levels are conservative, which was confirmed by the Sheikh at the Council
meeting on 2 July 2020.
• A Mu’azzin will call the prayer (internally) for a maximum of 1 – 2 minutes at the start of each
prayer session. The Sheikh leads the prayer and will speak for a maximum of 5 minutes for
morning prayers and for afternoon and evening prayers, approximately 1 minute each prayer
session.

DA ACOUSTIC REPORT
Renzo Tonin and Associate’s assessment is based on the Sheikh or Mu'azzin speaking
for a combined 15-minute duration.
• Patrons do not speak at all during a prayer but only say ‘armin’ which equates to about 30
seconds in total for each prayer. During a prayer there is no chanting.
Renzo Tonin and Associate’s assessment is based on 50% of the patrons speaking
continuously for the whole 15-minute assessment period. This would also address any
situations where patrons are speaking among themselves prior to the prayer
commencing but this is not accepted behaviour/practice.
This assessment is based on a worst case with patrons and Sheikh speaking
simultaneously.
Breakout noise from all other internal areas, including the use of community spaces which are always
ancillary to the mosque and not to be used simultaneously as prayer services, are considered to be
negligible in impact and have not been addressed further in this report. Furthermore, the Plan of
Management (PoM) states the following; outside of (all) prayer times, community activities are
permitted to take place… between 10am and 2pm. The community rooms do not operate during prayer
services… all other activities cease, users of the community rooms (and non-praying areas) are asked to
vacate approximately 30 minutes prior to prayer services commencing. This equates to a window for
community uses as follows:
• Fridays – 1.5 hours per day
• All other days - 3 hours per day
These rooms are predominantly used for quiet meetings or gatherings of the community senior and
youth members
The community rooms and functions are informal with sporadic usage and varying attendee numbers
ranging from 10 – 40. The modelling of this is unnecessary due to the proposed times that community
uses are allowed to take place, and that all other sensitive and outlier events (100/120 persons and 20
people in the night shoulder) have been modelled extensively. We deem this to be a non-issue,
especially as the community uses are an ancillary use to the primary purpose of the POPW.
The development will be mechanically ventilated. For the purpose of assessment, all windows and doors
will be closed at all times, except for ingress/egress of patrons and staff.

2. Assumes Sheikh or Mu'azzin speaking for a combined 15 minutes
5.1.2 Noise from patrons external to the building
The path that patrons will take to enter and exit the building will be from the northern carpark to the
entries located on the northern facade and from Botany Street footpath to the Botany Street building
entry located on the western facade. The location of the building entries are shown in Figure 4 and
Figure 5.
As a part of the Plan of Management (PoM) and other instructive measures, it will be managed so that
visitors are not to talk, particularly for the dawn prayer sessions, or be greeted at the door until they are
well inside the building. Nevertheless, predictions have been made for the potential of patron speech
occurring external to the building.
The noise source levels used for the predictions, are presented in Table 19 and all assumptions have
been corrected for a 15-minute assessment period. Normal voice levels have been used for the
assessment as raised voice is typically used for restaurants, pubs and clubs where patrons are actively
engaging in conversation and/or where alcohol is involved. In this situation, any conversation that will
occur external to the building will be passive in nature. Staff will be in place to control the noise from
external patrons.
During morning shoulder operations (20 patron capacity), it has been assumed that:
• The carpark will be filled or emptied in less than 10 minutes with 20 patrons entering or
exiting from the northern entry doors to get access to their cars.
It has been assumed that 50% of people will talk at once for a duration of 3 minutes
before getting into their cars.

DA ACOUSTIC REPORT
During special events (120 patron capacity), it has been assumed that:
• The carpark will be filled or emptied in 10 minutes with 20 patrons entering or exiting from
the northern entry doors to get access to their cars.
It has been assumed that 50% of people will talk at once for a duration of 3 minutes
before getting into their cars.
• A further 25 patrons will take 10 minutes to enter or exit from the northern entry doors to
reach the footpath.
It has been assumed that 50% of people will talk at once for a duration of 1 minute
before reaching the footpath.
• 75 patrons will take 10 minutes to enter or exit from the Botany Street entry door to reach
the footpath.
It has been assumed that 50% of people will talk at once for a duration of 1 minute
before reaching the footpath.
The latest prayer finishes at 9:45pm which allows 10 minutes for all the patrons to leave the site. We
have assessed and estimated that the egress of 120 patrons in 10 minutes from the premises is
achievable and relatively conservative.
The vacation of 120 (or less people) to clear a large building with multiple exits efficiently and effectively
is not a complicated or difficulty process. In the irregular 120 persons event, that equates to 12 people
per minute, over 10 minutes. That is 1 person every 5 seconds. The mosque has 2 exit points, one of
which is a double-width door with auto sliding function. During these events, the POPW will have 2 staff
for 100 persons events and up to 3 staff for 120 person event. Staff will be trained and familiar with the
PoM and will be dedicated to assisting and encouraging worshippers to vacate through any of the two
exits, ensuring the POPW is being vacated of worshippers and that people exit the premises during
these prayer sessions (that are irregular occurrences given the influence of the Lunar calendar (see
Section 5.4 of PoM)).
Furthermore, the Ramadan operates on a Lunar Calendar. Therefore, the next time late Ramadan prayer
sessions will occur will be in the year 2029, where there will be 11 prayer sessions that would end at
9:45pm, in 2030 – 21 days, in 2031 – 29-30 days, in 2032 – 22 days and in 2033 – 15 days. Late prayer
sessions would not occur for another 28 years after 2033.
In summary, ten minutes allow plenty of time for patrons to leave site for the 9:55pm premises closing
time, leaving a 5-minute buffer period before the night-time period commences at 10:00pm. As a result,
assessment against the night-time period is not required.
Given the small numbers involved (at southwestern 2 car spaces), any patron speech associated with the
south west carpark is considered insignificant and has not been addressed further.

5.1.3 Vehicle movements and car parking
In accordance with GTA traffic assessment, 97% of patrons will arrive via car and at a rate of 1.5 persons
per car. The development proposes a Mu’azzin total of 22 car parking spaces, with 16 located along the
northern boundary, 4 located on the south east corner of the site and 2 located on the south west
corner of the site. The location of the carparks is shown in Figure 4. The car park entrances for the 16
space and 2 space carparks are along Botany Street and for the 4 space carpark along Xenia Avenue.
Noise generated by car parking activities includes vehicle doors closing, vehicle engines starting,
vehicles accelerating and vehicles moving. Input sound power level data within Table 18, was calculated
from site measurements of customers at the upper level carpark of Woolworths, Caringbah of 26 door
and boot closures, 13 engine starts, 11 motor vehicles moving at 10kph.

During the morning shoulder, it has been advised that a maximum of 20 patrons are expected for the
dawn prayer for a 20 minute duration. Based on the patron to vehicle ratio within the GTA traffic report
of 1.5 passengers per car and allowing for 1 staff member, a maximum of 14 cars are expected to either
arrive or depart per 15-minute period. During the morning shoulder (dawn session), only the northern
carpark will be utilised. The earliest time the dawn prayer service will commence is 5:30am.
During the daytime and evening, it has been conservatively assumed that the 16 space and 2 space
carparks will be filled or emptied within a 15-minute period as these carparks will be used by patrons.
The 4 space carpark will be used by staff and it is assumed that 50% of the carpark will be filled or
emptied within a 15-minute period. This is a total of 20 cars to arrive or depart per 15-minute period.
During the night-time (10:00pm to 5:00am), the last prayer of the day finishes at 9:45pm and doors
close at 9:55pm. The carpark will be empty before 10:00pm. Therefore, assessment against the night-
time period is not required.
The sound power levels generated by car park activities on site are presented in Table 19. The sound
power levels have been calculated with Renzo Tonin & Associates software and its derived sound power
level database, shown in Table 18. The LAeq noise level was determined for the relevant time period
based on the number of vehicle activities expected to occur during that period,

5.2 Fencing and screens
Numerous fence heights and locations were investigated and analysed before adopting the below
arrangement. A balance was sought between designing a solution that would complement the natural
contours of the existing ground level, minimise visual impact and maximise acoustic mitigation. The
analysis for sleep disturbance is driven by the sleep disturbance noise assessment rather than the
LAeq(15minute) assessment. The analysis is further detailed within Section 5.3.4 - Maximum noise level
assessment, which includes the base scenario for a uniform 1.8m high fence around the whole property
and the benefits of strategically increasing the height of the fence along a section of the eastern side of
the northern carpark.
The following property fencing for the site was adopted and is shown in Figure 4. All fencing is located
on the property boundary and heights are above existing ground level as surveyed.
• Property fencing of 1.8 metres high along the eastern boundary of the site.

5.3.1 Methodology
The noise predictions were based upon the architectural drawing set out within the reference material,
see Section 2.5, and carried out in accordance with ISO9613 as implemented by CadnaA computer
modelling program. The software takes into account sound radiation patterns, acoustic shielding and
potential reflections from intervening building elements, and noise attenuation due to distance. In
addition, for noise transmission through building envelopes, the noise predictions were carried out
using computational software developed by Renzo Tonin & Associates, which takes into account noise
levels and transmission losses from intervening building elements.
The following assumptions regarding the acoustic performance of the building envelope design have
been made for the acoustic assessment.

property fence or gate) have been deemed to have limited effect.
Further analysis of the number of project related LAmax events and the existing prevalence of LAmax events,
is provided in the below section.
5.3.4 Maximum noise level assessment
In accordance with Section 4.1.4, a detailed maximum noise level event assessment has been
undertaken and provided in the below sections.
5.3.4.1 RNP Sleep disturbance guidance
With regard to sleep disturbance, Section 2.5 of the NPfI refers to the RNP for guidance. From the
research on sleep disturbance to date the RNP concludes that:
1. LAmax (the maximum A-weighted noise level) internal noise levels below 50–55 dB(A) are
unlikely to awaken people from sleep (corresponding to approximately 60-65 dB(A) external);
and,
2. one or two noise events per night, with maximum internal noise levels of 65-70 dB(A)
(corresponding to approximately 75-80 dB(A) external), are not likely to affect health and
wellbeing significantly.

5.3.4.2 Predictions
The predicted project related LAMax noise level range and number of events for surrounding receivers is
provided in Table 27, based on the fencing described in Section 5.1.4. For comparison, the same analysis
has been undertaken for fencing of 1.8 metres high and is provided in Table 26. The comparison
highlights the acoustic benefits of strategically increasing the barrier height along the eastern side of
the northern carpark.
Events are based on 21 car door slams between 5am and 6am and 21 car door slams and 14 engine
starts between 6am and 7am. Project related events have been predicted at the window of the nearest
residential receivers (4.0m to 4.5m above ground level for upper floors).
Also provided is the existing (non-project related) LAMax events, based on noise measurement location
L2. The extent and number of existing events are considered conservative (and likely to be higher),
particularly for Botany Street receivers, as measurement location L2 was located at the rear of the
property and 2m above the ground with significant shielding from Botany Street. Whereas the most
sensitive assessment points (i.e. windows) of the surrounding residences are elevated (4m and greater
above the ground) with more exposure to Botany Street.

5.3.4.3 Discussion
As shown within Table 27, the predicted maximum LAMax noise level from the project is 56dB(A) external,
which is well below the guidance provided in the RNP, see Section 5.3.4.1. Furthermore, the results
within Table 27 show that there is a significant amount of existing non-project related LAMax activity (225
events between 5am and 7am) that are occurring above the sleep disturbance assessment level of
52dB(A). The percentage increase due to the proposed project is relatively low, at less than 12%. In
addition, the number of project related events occurring at any one property above 55dB(A) is
comparatively low with 1 event between 5am and 6am and 2 events between 6am and 7am,
representing less than a 3% increase and again considered acceptable from an impact point of view.
Determination of the shoulder period RBLs (i.e. background noise levels) within Table 9, show that the
morning shoulder period background noise levels (attributed to traffic noise) are substantially higher
than the night-time and are equal to or just below the daytime. This trend is also visually shown within
the APPENDIX D logger graphs. In accordance with Section 4.1.4, predictions show that the maximum
LAMax noise level is predicted to be up to 18dB higher than the morning shoulder period RBL and 8dB
higher than the LAeq ambient noise level.
Comparisons of the results for 1 Ethel Street in Table 26 and Table 27, shows a clear acoustic benefit to
strategically increasing the fence height to 2.4m along a portion of the eastern side of the carpark. The
improvements of this modest increase in fencing height include a 5dB(A) reduction in the predicted
maximum LAMax noise level and approximately a 56% reduction in the number of project related
exceedance events, that is, from 48 to 21. This is considered a positive outcome. Note, modelling was

also undertaken to sensitivity test the effect of increasing the barrier height to approximately 3m high in
order to further meet the guidance provided in the RNP at 1 Ethel Street. Whilst the results improved
considerably, comprising an 8dB(A) reduction from the base case (i.e. Table 26), it resulted in a barrier
height that was deemed to have reduced visual amenity and was therefore omitted.
As previously noted, for receivers located on the opposite side of Botany Street, physical mitigation has
been deemed to have limited effect. Whilst solutions such as gate installation and the like are possible,
these receivers are already exposed to a significant amount of traffic noise, which is travelling at speed
and in much closer proximity than the carpark. As such these receivers are not considered as sensitive
and given the existing ambient environment, as demonstrated with the acoustic logging undertaken for
the area that shows RBL being relatively high for the morning shoulder period, the project related LAMax
activity is considered reasonable.

6 Road traffic noise assessment
Additional noise from traffic generated by a development on the local road network is assessed against
the RNP. The assessment involves consideration of the existing traffic noise levels and the potential
change in noise as a result of the development.
Traffic generated by the development would access and depart the site via Botany Street which has
been classified as a local road with a LAeq,(1 hour) criteria of:
• Day (7:00am-10:00pm) - 55dBA
• Night-time (10:00pm-7:00am) - 50dBA
In addition to the traffic generation along Botany Street, some traffic associated with the south east
carpark will utilise Xenia Avenue. Given the carpark is existing, has a low capacity (4 spaces) and will be
used by staff with infrequent arrival and departure times (i.e. at the start and end of the day), the
additional traffic generated by the development is considered to be acoustically insignificant.
6.1 Prediction methodology
The assessment was carried out in accordance with the RNP, in particular Section B3 Noise monitoring
procedures. Given the low traffic volumes associated with the project, the 'Calculation of Road Traffic
Noise (1988)' known as the CoRTN (1988) method, is not appropriate. Noise modelling for the project
was carried out using CadnaA software using the below methodology:
1. Measured traffic noise levels undertaken at monitoring location L4 was used to calibrate
existing LAeq,(1hour) traffic noise levels predicted at the nearest residential receivers shown in
Figure 7, for the morning shoulder period and daytime.
2. Based on the site-specific calculated sound power levels for car pass-bys and cars
entering/leaving site within Table 8, project related LAeq,(1hour) traffic noise levels were
predicted at the nearest residential receivers for the morning shoulder period and daytime.
See below traffic volume details:
• Shoulder period (20min prayer duration) - based on worst case dawn prayer which has
maximum patronage of 20 people (14 cars with 1.5 passengers per car, equivalent to 28
car movements per hour).
• Daytime (60min prayer duration) - based on worst case day prayer which has maximum
patronage of 120 people (80 cars with 1.5 passengers per car, equivalent to 80 car
movements per hour). Includes 16 cars (16 movements) utilising the northern carpark
and 2 cars (2 movements) utilising the south-west carpark.
3. Calculation of the Total LAeq,(1hour) traffic noise levels (Existing plus Project).
4. Determine predicted increase in noise level between Existing and Total traffic noise levels.

utilising the south-west carpark.
In accordance with the RNP, in assessing feasible and reasonable mitigation measures, an increase of up
to 2 dB represents a minor impact that is considered barely perceptible to the average person.
For existing residences and other sensitive land uses affected by additional traffic on existing roads
generated by land use developments, any increase in the total traffic noise level (where the assessment
criteria cannot be achieved) should be limited to 2 dB above that of the corresponding ‘no build option’.
As the predicted noise level increases presented in Table 28 and Table 29 are not more than 2dB(A), the
road traffic noise generated by vehicles associated with the proposed development is considered to
comply with RNP criteria.

7 Recommendations
The following recommendations provide in-principle solutions to address Project acoustic requirements.
This information is presented for the purpose of consent authority approvals process and cost planning
and shall not be used for construction unless otherwise approved in writing by the acoustic consultant.
Assistance of an acoustic consultant must be sought during the detailed design phase of the project in
order to confirm all details and specification.
Before undertaking any variations to the proposed design as part of this development application,
advice should be sought from an acoustic consultant to ensure that adequate provisions are made for
any variations which may occur as a result of changes to the project.
The advice provided here is in respect of acoustics only. Supplementary professional advice may need
to be sought in respect of fire ratings, structural design, buildability, fit for purpose and the like.
The following is provided in addition to the operational scenarios presented for the assessment.
7.1 Plan of Management
It is recommended that the necessary controls be further refined and determined during post-operation
compliance testing and incorporated into the approved Plan of Management.
7.2 Acoustic performance of building envelope
• This assessment has assumed closed windows/doors to have a moderate acoustic
performance of RW 26 (indicatively 6mm float glass) and RW 21 for male mosque skylight.
Higher acoustic performance can be readily achieved through the provision of improved
glazing and/or sealing of areas of noise emission if necessary, however, this assessment has
not deemed additional improvements being needed.
Windows and doors of the development to be closed at all times. Mechanical
ventilation to be provided
7.3 Carpark usage
• During the morning shoulder period (5:30am to 7:00am) only the northern carpark will be
utilised, and the maximum number of cars to be restricted to 14. As previously stated, the
development is not operational after 10:00pm.
7.4 External patrons
• All staff are required to study and uphold the approved PoM as well as carry out any actions
and implement any requirements arising from the use of the development.

TL074-01F02 DA ACOUSTIC ASSESSMENT (R9) 44 88-90 & 92 BOTANY STREET, CARLTON
DA ACOUSTIC REPORT
• As a part of the PoM and other instructive measures, it will be managed so that visitors are
not to talk, particularly for the dawn prayer sessions, or be greeted at the door until they are
well inside the building.
• The staff members will provide the following services in accordance with the PoM, including
managing the centre, managing the attendees (ensuring all attendees participate in
scheduled activities in a safe and orderly manner), community liaison, traffic marshalling and
entry management.
• At least one staff member is on site during all operating times of the development. Two
administration staff are required to administer support for up to 100 worshippers (Friday
communal). During peak periods of 100 or 120 worshippers (such as Friday communal, Easter
Friday and other Friday prayers that fall on a public holiday, or first two days and last days of
Ramadan), additional staff (minimum of 3) are required to assist with events and
management of the premises. This includes traffic marshals to manage parking during special
prayer sessions.
7.5 Fencing and screens
7.5.1 Fencing
The following fencing is required and shown in Figure 4. All fencing is located on the property boundary
and heights are above existing ground level as surveyed.
• Property fencing of 1.8 metres high along the eastern boundary of the site.
• A property fence of 2.2 metres high with a 1.5 metre horizontal cantilever along the southern
side of the south east carpark and south west carpark. Property fencing of 1.8 metres high
along the remaining portion of the southern boundary of the site.
• Property fencing of 1.8 metres high along the western, northern, and southern sides of the
northern carpark.
• A property fence of 1.8 to 2.4 metres high along a portion of the eastern side of the northern
carpark. The fence is 21 metres long, with a height of 1.8 metres at the north east corner of
the site, a height of 2.4 metres at the mid-point and a height of 2.4 metres at the southern
end.
7.5.2 Screens
The following acoustic screens to mitigate mechanical noise are required and are shown in Figure 6. The
screen heights are above roof level.
• A 1 metre high screen on the eastern and southern side of condenser units 1 and 2.
• A 1 metre high screen on the southern side of condenser units 5 and 6.

DA ACOUSTIC REPORT
7.5.3 Fence and screen construction
In addition to the above, all fences and screens should give regard to the following to maintain acoustic
integrity and for the fences to perform as noise screens:
• An acoustically rated fence can be constructed of common building materials but needs to
be from a durable material with sufficient mass (min. 10kg/m2) to prevent direct noise
transmission eg. masonry, fibrous-cement, lapped and capped timber fence, polycarbonate,
or any combination of such materials, provided they meet material requirements and
withstand weather elements.
• Any penetrations through the fabric of the fence should be sealed airtight with a suitable
material of suitable density.
• All joints and gaps between fence panels / planks should be sealed airtight with a suitable
material of suitable density.
• Any gaps between the fence and the ground / retaining walls should be filled with a suitable
material of suitable density to ensure that the fence provides appropriate noise attenuation.
7.6 Mechanical plant and equipment
A quantitative assessment of mechanical plant associated with the development has been assessed
within Section 5.
7.7 Noise monitoring program
The following approach will be adopted with regard to noise monitoring during the first 12 months of
operation (i.e. during the requested 12-month trial period).
Within first month and last month of the 12-month trial period, noise monitoring will be undertaken by
a qualified acoustic engineer to verify that the mosque is complying with the noise criteria set within
Table 13 and is consistent or below the LAmax predictions within Table 27. Given the amount of
extraneous noise sources in the vicinity of the site (i.e. road traffic), so that site noise emission can be
more readily quantified, short-term attended noise monitoring and long-term compliance monitoring
with audio recording is recommended. Details of the procedures for noise monitoring are presented in
APPENDIX C, which outlines short-term and long-term methodology.
The noise monitoring program is outlined in Table 30 and the noise monitoring locations are identified
in Table 31.

8 Acoustic risk assessment
Risk management is an integral part of good management practice. Australian/New Zealand Standard
AS/NZS 4360:2004 “Risk management” has become part of our company’s culture and as a
consequence it permeates all aspects of the company’s work and is actively promoted to our clients.
The risk management process can be applied to any situation where an undesired or unexpected
outcome could be significant or where opportunities are identified. Our clients need to know about
possible outcomes and the steps that can be taken to control any adverse impact.
There is an opportunity in the design process for the client to actively participate in risk management by
providing input into risk reduction strategy. For example, the client may need to know that some
aspects of risk reduction could involve passing those risks on to other entities in a better position to
treat those risks. Some aspects of risk reduction may involve additional cost or time consequences. On
the other hand, there may also be opportunities to avoid or avert risk at no cost to the client by
rescheduling processes so that key information becomes available at a critical time.
When the client is properly informed, this supports better decision making by contributing a greater
insight into risks and their impacts. It is recommended that the client seek to understand the potential
risk during the detailed design phase of the development.

9 Conclusion
Renzo Tonin & Associates has completed an assessment of operational noise to support the
development application for the proposed place of worship (Mosque) and community centre, located at
88-90 & 92 Botany Street, Carlton.
The 2019 noise assessment [Ref: TL074-01F02 DA Acoustic Assessment (r1), dated 20 December 2019]
was undertaken against and with respect to NSW Noise Policy for Industry (NPfI) and the NSW Road
Noise Policy (RNP). As a continually evolving process over 2020 and 2021 additional requests for
information as well as independent peer reviewed material has driven update to the original assessment
by Renzo Tonin. This continued assessment has confirmed earlier results and assumptions as well as
further strengthened the proposed development. The original assessment was based upon industry-
accepted and recognised practices and the new assessments seek to exceed these requirements
through additional analysis and field data. In addition, 2021 field analysis confirmed that assumptions
made in 2019 were consistent and equally able to be relied upon for noise assessment.
The main sources of acoustic generation relates to noise emissions from internal areas, external
emission from patrons when entering and leaving the site, on-site vehicle movements including
carparks, mechanical plant and traffic noise on the public road. The proposed works have been assessed
against all relevant noise criteria at the nearest sensitive receivers.
Particular concern was raised by the peer reviewer in relation to 20-person dawn prayer services and late
evening prayer sessions in summer seasons.
Noise from the on-site car park and the vehicles using the carpark for the dawn session has been
modelled and assessed in detail. Noise and LAMax events assessed for the existing situation was found to
be relatively high, suggesting that the location already experiences relatively noisy morning periods in
the current situation without the mosque. Through the modelling of various scenarios (with varied
barrier heights), noise from the operation of the proposed development has been predicted to comply
at all surrounding receivers, except for relatively minor LAMax events associated with the car park during
the morning shoulder period, which are well below the guidance provided in the RNP.
Additional scenarios that were modelled included the worst case for the morning shoulder (20 person
prayer event) and worst case for the daytime and evening (120 person prayer event) which covers all 35
sessions through a week. With the exception of relatively minor sleep disturbance events during the 20-
person dawn session which are detailed in Section 5.3.4, all other prayer sessions and modelled
scenarios comply with the relevant guidelines, provisions and criteria. These results and scenarios are
determined to be acceptable and supportable in our professional view. Noise disturbances resulting
from the proposed development in the proposed location in its current environmental context would be
minimal and acceptable. The results of the assessments and field work undertaken in 2019, 2020 and
2021 conclude that noise from the proposed development is predicted to comply. It has been
established that the proposed development able to be supported with adoption of recommendations
outlined in Section 7.

APPENDIX A Glossary of terminology
The following is a brief description of the technical terms used to describe noise to assist in
understanding the technical issues presented.
Absorption Coefficient
α
The absorption coefficient of a material, usually measured for each octave or third-octave band
and ranging between zero and one. For example, a value of 0.85 for an octave band means that
85% of the sound energy within that octave band is absorbed on coming into contact with the
material. Conversely, a low value below about 0.1 means the material is acoustically reflective.
Adverse weather Weather effects that enhance noise (particularly wind and temperature inversions) occurring at a
site for a significant period of time. In the NSW INP this occurs when wind occurs for more than
30% of the time in any assessment period in any season and/or temperature inversions occurring
more than 30% of nights in winter.
Air-borne noise Noise which is fundamentally transmitted by way of the air and can be attenuated by the use of
barriers and walls placed physically between the noise source and receiver.
Ambient noise The all-encompassing noise associated within a given environment at a given time, usually
composed of sound from all sources near and far.
Amenity A desirable or useful feature or facility of a building or place.
AS Australian Standard
Assessment period
The time period in which an assessment is made. e.g. Day 7am-10pm & Night 10pm-7am.
Assessment Point
A location at which a noise or vibration measurement is taken or estimated.
Attenuation The reduction in the level of sound or vibration.
Audible Range The limits of frequency which are audible or heard as sound. The normal hearing in young adults
detects ranges from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, although some people can detect sound with frequencies
outside these limits.
A-weighting A filter applied to the sound recording made by a microphone to approximate the response of the
human ear.
Background noise
Background noise is the term used to describe the underlying level of noise present in the ambient
noise, measured in the absence of the noise under investigation. It is described as the average of
the minimum noise levels measured on a sound level meter and is measured statistically as the A-
weighted noise level exceeded for ninety percent of a sample period. This is represented as the
LA90 noise level if measured as an overall level or an L90 noise level when measured in octave or
third-octave bands.
Barrier (Noise) A natural or constructed physical barrier which impedes the propagation of sound and includes
fences, walls, earth mounds or berms and buildings.
Berm Earth or overburden mound.
Buffer An area of land between a source and a noise-sensitive receiver and may be an open space or a
noise-tolerant land use.
Bund A bund is an embankment or wall of brick, stone, concrete or other impervious material, which
may form part or all of the perimeter of a compound.

Decibel [dB] The units of sound measurement. The following are examples of the decibel readings of every day
sounds:
0dB The faintest sound we can hear, defined as 20 micro Pascal
30dB A quiet library or in a quiet location in the country
45dB Typical office space. Ambience in the city at night
60dB CBD mall at lunch time
70dB The sound of a car passing on the street
80dB Loud music played at home
90dB The sound of a truck passing on the street
100dB The sound of a rock band
110dB Operating a chainsaw or jackhammer
120dB Deafening
dB(A) A-weighted decibel. The A- weighting noise filter simulates the response of the human ear at
relatively low levels, where the ear is not as effective in hearing low frequency sounds as it is in
hearing high frequency sounds. That is, low frequency sounds of the same dB level are not heard
as loud as high frequency sounds. The sound level meter replicates the human response of the ear
by using an electronic filter which is called the “A” filter. A sound level measured with this filter is
denoted as dB(A). Practically all noise is measured using the A filter.
dB(C) C-weighted decibels. The C-weighting noise filter simulates the response of the human ear at
relatively high levels, where the human ear is nearly equally effective at hearing from mid-low
frequency (63Hz) to mid-high frequency (4kHz), but is less effective outside these frequencies. The
dB(C) level is not widely used but has some applications.
Diffraction The distortion of sound waves caused when passing tangentially around solid objects.
DIN German Standard
ECRTN Environmental Criteria for Road Traffic Noise, NSW, 1999
EPA Environment Protection Authority
Field Test A test of the sound insulation performance in-situ. See also 'Laboratory Test'
The sound insulation performance between building spaces can be measured by conducting a
field test, for example, early during the construction stage or on completion.
A field test is conducted in a non-ideal acoustic environment. It is generally not possible to
measure the performance of an individual building element accurately as the results can be
affected by numerous field conditions.
Fluctuating Noise Noise that varies continuously to an appreciable extent over the period of observation.
Free-field An environment in which there are no acoustic reflective surfaces. Free field noise measurements
are carried out outdoors at least 3.5m from any acoustic reflecting structures other than the
ground.
Frequency Frequency is synonymous to pitch. Sounds have a pitch which is peculiar to the nature of the
sound generator. For example, the sound of a tiny bell has a high pitch and the sound of a bass
drum has a low pitch. Frequency or pitch can be measured on a scale in units of Hertz or Hz.
Ground-borne noise Vibration propagated through the ground and then radiated as noise by vibrating building
elements such as wall and floor surfaces. This noise is more noticeable in rooms that are well
insulated from other airborne noise. An example would be vibration transmitted from an
underground rail line radiating as sound in a bedroom of a building located above.
Habitable Area Includes a bedroom, living room, lounge room, music room, television room, kitchen, dining room,
sewing room, study, playroom, family room, home theatre and sunroom.
Excludes a bathroom, laundry, water closet, pantry, walk-in wardrobe, corridor, hallway, lobby,
photographic darkroom, clothes drying room, and other spaces of a specialised nature occupied
neither frequently nor for extended periods.
Heavy Vehicle A truck, transporter or other vehicle with a gross weight above a specified level (for example: over
8 tonnes).

Impulsive noise Having a high peak of short duration or a sequence of such peaks. A sequence of impulses in
rapid succession is termed repetitive impulsive noise.
INP NSW Industrial Noise Policy, EPA 1999
Intermittent noise The level suddenly drops to that of the background noise several times during the period of
observation. The time during which the noise remains at levels different from that of the ambient
is one second or more.
Intrusive noise Refers to noise that intrudes above the background level by more than 5 dB(A).

L1 The sound pressure level that is exceeded for 1% of the time for which the given sound is
measured.
L10 The sound pressure level that is exceeded for 10% of the time for which the given sound is
measured.
L10(1hr) The L10 level measured over a 1 hour period.
L10(18hr) The arithmetic average of the L10(1hr) levels for the 18 hour period between 6am and 12 midnight
on a normal working day.
L90 The level of noise exceeded for 90% of the time. The bottom 10% of the sample is the L90 noise
level expressed in units of dB(A).
LAeq or Leq The “equivalent noise level” is the summation of noise events and integrated over a selected
period of time, which would produce the same energy as a fluctuating sound level. When A-
weighted, this is written as the LAeq.
LAeq(1hr) The LAeq noise level for a one-hour period. In the context of the NSW EPA’s Road Noise Policy it
represents the highest tenth percentile hourly A-weighted Leq during the period 7am to 10pm, or
10pm to 7am (whichever is relevant).
LAeq(8hr) The LAeq noise level for the period 10pm to 6am.
LAeq(9hr) The LAeq noise level for the period 10pm to 7am.
LAeq(15hr) The LAeq noise level for the period 7am to 10pm.
LAeq (24hr) The LAeq noise level during a 24 hour period, usually from midnight to midnight.
Lmax The maximum sound pressure level measured over a given period. When A-weighted, this is
usually written as the LAmax.
Lmin The minimum sound pressure level measured over a given period. When A-weighted, this is
usually written as the LAmin.
Loudness A rise of 10 dB in sound level corresponds approximately to a doubling of subjective loudness.
That is, a sound of 85 dB is twice as loud as a sound of 75 dB which is twice as loud as a sound of
65 dB and so on. That is, the sound of 85 dB is four times or 400% the loudness of a sound of 65
dB.
Microphone An electro-acoustic transducer which receives an acoustic signal and delivers a corresponding
electric signal.
NCA Noise Catchment Area. An area of study within which the noise environment is substantially
constant.
Noise Unwanted sound
Pre-construction Work in respect of the proposed project that includes design, survey, acquisitions, fencing,
investigative drilling or excavation, building/road dilapidation surveys, minor clearing (except
where threatened species, populations or ecological communities would be affected), establishing
ancillary facilities such as site compounds, or other relevant activities determined to have minimal
environmental impact (e.g. minor access roads).
Reflection Sound wave reflected from a solid object obscuring its path.

RMS Root Mean Square value representing the average value of a signal.
Rw Weighted Sound Reduction Index
A measure of the sound insulation performance of a building element. It is measured in very
controlled conditions in a laboratory.
The term supersedes the value STC which was used in older versions of the Building Code of
Australa. Rw is measured and calculated using the procedure in ISO 717-1. The related field
measurement is the DnT,w.
The higher the value the better the acoustic performance of the building element.
R'w Weighted Apparent Sound Reduction Index.
As for Rw but measured in-situ and therefore subject to the inherent accuracies involved in such a
measurement.
The higher the value the better the acoustic performance of the building element.
RNP Road Noise Policy, NSW, March 2011
Sabine A measure of the total acoustic absorption provided by a material.
It is the product of the Absorption Coefficient (alpha) and the surface area of the material (m2).
For example, a material with alpha = 0.65 and a surface area of 8.2m2 would have 0.65 x 8.2 = 5.33
Sabine.
Sabine is usually calculated for each individual octave band (or third-octave).
SEL Sound Exposure Level (SEL) is the constant sound level which, if maintained for a period of 1
second would have the same acoustic energy as the measured noise event. SEL noise
measurements are useful as they can be converted to obtain Leq sound levels over any period of
time and can be used for predicting noise at various locations.
Sound A fluctuation of air pressure which is propagated as a wave through air.
Sound absorption The ability of a material to absorb sound energy by conversion to thermal energy.
Sound Insulation Sound insulation refers to the ability of a construction or building element to limit noise
transmission through the building element. The sound insulation of a material can be described by
the Rw and the sound insulation between two rooms can be described by the DnT,w.
Sound level meter An instrument consisting of a microphone, amplifier and indicating device, having a declared
performance and designed to measure sound pressure levels.
Sound power level Ten times the logarithm to the base 10 of the ratio of the sound power of the source to the
reference sound power of 1 pico watt.
Sound pressure level The level of noise, usually expressed in decibels, as measured by a standard sound level meter with
a microphone referenced to 20 mico Pascal.
Spoil Soil or materials arising from excavation activities.
STC Sound Transmission Class
A measure of the sound insulation performance of a building element. It is measured in controlled
conditions in a laboratory.
The term has been superseded by Rw.
Structure-borne Noise Audible noise generated by vibration induced in the ground and/or a structure. Vibration can be
generated by impact or by solid contact with a vibrating machine.
Structure-borne noise cannot be attenuated by barriers or walls but requires the isolation of the
vibration source itself. This can be achieved using a resilient element placed between the
vibration source and its support such as rubber, neoprene or springs or by physical separation
(using an air gap for example).
Examples of structure-borne noise include the noise of trains in underground tunnels heard to a
listener above the ground, the sound of footsteps on the floor above a listener and the sound of a
lift car passing in a shaft. See also 'Impact Noise'.
Tonal Noise Sound containing a prominent frequency and characterised by a definite pitch.

Transmission Loss The sound level difference between one room or area and another, usually of sound transmitted
through an intervening partition or wall. Also the vibration level difference between one point and
another.
For example, if the sound level on one side of a wall is 100dB and 65dB on the other side, it is said
that the transmission loss of the wall is 35dB. If the transmission loss is normalised or
standardised, it then becomes the Rw or R'w or DnT,w.

APPENDIX B Long-term noise monitoring methodology
B.1 Noise monitoring equipment
A long-term unattended noise monitor consists of a sound level meter housed inside a weather
resistant enclosure. Noise levels are monitored continuously with statistical data stored in memory for
every 15-minute period.
Long term noise monitoring was conducted using the following instrumentation:
Description Type Octave band data Logger location(s)
RTA06 and RTA07 (NTi Audio XL2) Type 1 1/1 L1, L2, L3 and L4.
Notes: All meters comply with AS IEC 61672.1 2004 “Electroacoustics - Sound Level Meters” and designated either Type 1 or Type 2 as
per table and are suitable for field use.
The equipment was calibrated prior and subsequent to the measurement period using a Brüel & Kjær
Type 4231 calibrator. No significant drift in calibration was observed.
B.2 Meteorology during monitoring
Measurements affected by extraneous noise, wind (greater than 5m/s) or rain were excluded from the
recorded data in accordance with the NSW NPfI. Determination of extraneous meteorological
conditions was based on data provided by the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM), for a location considered
representative of the noise monitoring location(s). However, the data was adjusted to account for the
height difference between the BOM weather station, where wind speed and direction is recorded at a
height of 10m above ground level, and the microphone location, which is typically 1.5m above ground
level (and less than 3m). The correction factor applied to the data is based on Table C.1 of ISO
4354:2009 'Wind actions on structures'.
B.3 Noise vs time graphs
Noise almost always varies with time. Noise environments can be described using various descriptors to
show how a noise ranges about a level. In this report, noise values measured or referred to include the
L10, L90, and Leq levels. The statistical descriptors L10 and L90 measure the noise level exceeded for 10%
and 90% of the sample measurement time. The Leq level is the equivalent continuous noise level or the
level averaged on an equal energy basis. Measurement sample periods are usually ten to fifteen
minutes. The Noise -vs- Time graphs representing measured noise levels, as presented in this report,
illustrate these concepts for the broadband dB(A) results.

Noise levels are to be recorded at a minimum rate of 10 samples per second. Every 15 minutes, the data
is to be processed statistically and stored in memory. The minimum range of noise metrics to be stored
in memory for later retrieval is the following A-weighted noise levels: Lmin, L90, Leq, L10, L1 and Lmax.
Where the noise monitors are placed within 3.5 metres of building facades, walls or cliffs, then a
reflection correction of up to -2.5dB(A) shall be applied to remove the effect of increased noise due to
sound reflections from such structures.
Meteorological conditions including wind velocity, wind direction and rainfall shall be monitored over
the entire noise monitoring period, either on site or recorded from the nearest weather station to the
project site.
C.5 Short-Term (Attended) Monitoring
Where noise complaints or requests from relevant authorities are received, attended short-term noise
monitoring may be conducted at the requested location and at any other relevant noise receiver
location with closest proximity to the facility activities.
Short-term noise monitoring could be used to supplement long-term noise monitoring undertaken at
nearby locations, and to establish whether noise levels measured by the long-term noise monitors are
determined by facility activities.
All attended short-term noise monitoring shall be recorded over 15 minute sample intervals. Noise
levels are to be recorded at a minimum rate of 10 samples per second. Every 15 minutes, the data is to
be processed statistically and stored in memory. The minimum range of noise metrics to be stored in
memory and reported is the following A-weighted noise levels: Lmin, L90, Leq, L10, L1 and Lmax.
In addition to measuring and reporting overall A-weighted noise levels, statistical L90, Leq, L10 noise levels
shall be measured and reported in third-octave band frequencies from 31.5Hz to 8kHz.
Where the noise monitors are placed within 3.5 metres of building facades, walls or cliffs, then a
reflection correction of up to -2.5dB(A) shall be applied to remove the effect of increased noise due to
sound reflections from such structures. Presence of impulsive and tonal noise, and subsequent penalty,
is to be determined in accordance with the provisions of Table 4.1 Modifying Factor Corrections of INP.
Outdoor noise monitoring is to be undertaken with the microphone at a height of 1.2 – 1.5m from the
ground, unless noise measurements are taken from a balcony or veranda, in which case the same
microphone height shall apply off the floor.
Noise measurements inside buildings should be at least 1m from the walls or other major reflecting
surfaces, 1.2 m to 1.5m above the floor, and 1.5m from windows.
Noise monitoring shall be undertaken in accordance with the environmental noise measurement
requirements stipulated in the reference standards and documents listed above.
