Table 9: Noise Impact Assessment Criteria dB(A)
Notes:
a) Noise from the development is to be measured at the most affected point or within the
residential boundary, or at the most affected point within 30 metres of a dwelling
(rural situations) where the dwelling is more than 30 metres from the boundary, to
determine compliance with the L Aeq(15 minute) noise limits in the above table.
Where it can be demonstrated that direct measurement of noise from the
development is impractical, the DEC may accept alternative means of determining
compliance (see Chapter 11 of the NSW Industrial Noise Policy). The modification
factors in Section 4 of the NSW Industrial Noise Policy shall also be applied to the
measured noise levels where applicable.
b) Noise from the development is to be measured at 1 metre from the dwelling façade to
determine compliance with the L A1(1 minute) noise limits in the above table.
c) The noise emission limits identified in the above table apply under meteorological
conditions of:
• wind speeds of up to 3 m/s at 10 metres above ground level; or
• temperature inversion conditions of up to 3ºC/100m, and wind speeds of up
to 2 m/s at 10 metres above ground level.
