sch.2-sec.11 Noise

During a special event, the operator must ensure noise levels from the event are continuously monitored by a suitably qualified acoustical consultant at, or as near as practicable to, the following locations— 6/8 Petrie Terrace, Petrie Terrace; 15 Plunkett Street, Paddington; 36 Judge Street, Petrie Terrace; 26 Princess Street, Petrie Terrace; 31 Isaac Street, Milton. The operator must ensure the noise level from the special event is equal to or less than at least 1 (but not necessarily both) of the following levels— 100dB(A) L eq , measured at 15-minute periods, measured at a point 50m directly in front of the front edge of the performance stage; 70dB(A) L eq , measured at 15-minute periods, measured at the locations mentioned in subsection (1) . The operator must ensure the taking of the noise measurements complies with the noise measurement manual. During the special event, the Authority must ensure that 1 of its employees or its agent— is present at the sound mixing desk for the event and is able to exercise ultimate control on the noise levels from the sound amplification equipment; and can contact and communicate with all of the acoustical consultants conducting the monitoring of the noise levels from the event. In this section— AS 1055:2018 means AS 1055:2018 (Acoustics - Description and measurement of environmental noise). department of the environment means the department in which the Environmental Protection Act 1994 is administered. L eq , for a particular period, means the time average A-weighted sound pressure level, within the meaning given by AS 1055:2018, for the period. noise measurement manual means the document called ‘Noise measurement manual’, published by the department of the environment. The document is available on the website of the department of the environment.
