1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Purpose

The purpose of this report is to provide a preliminary review of the acoustic impacts of proposed Kaufland sites across Melbourne.

The intent is to provide reassurance that any acoustic effects of the new developments are being considered at an early stage, and will be considered in more detail as each project develops.

1.2 Assessment Criteria

Each site will be assessed against the Environment Protection Act (EPA) and either SEPP N-1 or NIRV (depending on the site location).

Section 46 of the Environment Protection Act 1970 relating to noise emissions applies to each site and states the following:

“46. Emission of noise to comply with policy

The emission of noise shall at all times be in accordance with State environment protection policy specifying acceptable conditions for emitting noise and shall comply with any standards or limitations prescribed therefore under this Act.”

The appropriate noise regulations for the proposed developments are outlined in the State Environment Protection Policy (Control of Noise from Commerce, Industry and Trade) No. N-1 (SEPP N-1) document. Determining the acceptable noise emission levels using SEPP N-1 is a multi-step process, involving:

Determining a zoning level, based on the location of the subject site

Adjusting the zoning level, based on background noise level measurements conducted around the subject site.

The limits determined by SEPP N-1 apply to residential properties affected by noise emissions from the subject site, and will be determined for each site as the developments progress.

1.3 Report Structure

This report addresses 6 proposed sites, with a separate section per site as follows:

1 Gladstone Road, Dandenong – Store

2 1 GLADSTONE ROAD, DANDENONG

2.1 Site Location

The site is located on the corner of Gladstone Road and Princes Highway, with light industrial use to the northwest and east, light industrial use with residential use beyond to the north, and residential use to the southeast, south and west. The site has Commercial 2 zoning which would generally result in less stringent SEPP N-1 noise limits.

Figure 1 - 1 Gladstone Road, Dandenong.

2.2 Noise Sources

The following noise sources will be present at the site:

1. Refrigeration and HVAC equipment

2. Loading dock and associated delivery vehicle movements

3. Car park activities (e.g. car door slamming, engines starting, etc.)

4. Emergency Generator

Each of these noise sources is discussed further below.

2.3 Possible Acoustic Treatments 1. Refrigeration and HVAC equipment can be treated using a combination of any of the following options:

− Selection of low noise units

− Duct internal acoustic lining (where appropriate)

− Acoustic attenuators (where appropriate)

− Acoustic louvres

− Acoustic barriers

2. Loading dock noise can be mitigated by a combination of any of the following options:

− Enclosing or partially enclosing the loading dock

− Introducing acoustic absorbing materials to the loading dock

− Acoustic barriers

− Restriction of frequency of trucks during noise sensitive time periods (i.e. night periods, weekends)

− Restriction of truck speeds with appropriate signage

− No speed humps / very low incline speed humps

3. We do not expect car park activities to require any particular acoustic treatments in this case.

4. Emergency Generator will be acoustically treated using a combination of any of the following options:

− Strategic location of equipment away from most sensitive receivers

− Full enclosure with high sound insulation properties (walls, door, roof etc)

− Acoustic attenuators

− Acoustic louvres

2.4 Preliminary Acoustic Assessment

Currently the supermarket building is situated relatively centrally within the site. HVAC equipment is to be located in a dedicated plant room in the north eastern corner of the building, away from residences, so no significant acoustic treatment is anticipated. The sprinkler pump room is also located in the north eastern corner of the site so no significant acoustic treatment is anticipated.

The loading dock is currently located in the south eastern corner of the site, with entry off David Street. Although this is not immediately adjacent to residential receivers, its proximity may require acoustic barriers as per Section 2.3. The plans currently show a retaining wall around the loading area which will provide some acoustic benefit.

3 592-694 HIGH STREET, EPPING

3.1 Site Location

The site is located on High Street, Epping, with commercial uses to the east, south, west, and northwest, and commercial use with residences beyond to the north east. The South Morang rail corridor is also situated to the southeast of the site, with residences beyond. The site has Activity Centre 1 zoning which would generally result in less stringent SEPP N-1 noise limits.

− No speed humps / very low incline speed humps

3. We do not expect car park activities to require any particular acoustic treatments in this case.

4. Emergency Generator will be acoustically treated using a combination of any of the following options:

− Strategic location of equipment away from most sensitive receivers

− Full enclosure with high sound insulation properties (walls, door, roof etc)

− Acoustic attenuators

− Acoustic louvres

3.4 Preliminary Acoustic Assessment

Currently the supermarket building is situated towards the south eastern corner of the site. HVAC equipment is to be located in a dedicated plant room in the south eastern corner of the building, away from residences, so no significant acoustic treatment is anticipated. The sprinkler pump room is also located in the south eastern corner of the site so no significant acoustic treatment is anticipated.

The loading dock is currently located on the northern side of the site, with entry via the service road off High Street. As some distance separates the loading dock from the nearest residence (more than 100m), no significant acoustic treatment is anticipated, though we note the plans currently show a retaining wall around the loading area which will provide some acoustic benefit.

5.4 Preliminary Acoustic Assessment

Currently the supermarket building is situated towards the eastern side of the site. HVAC equipment is to be located in a dedicated plant room in the southern corner of the building, more than 100m away from the nearest residence, so no significant acoustic treatment is anticipated.

The loading dock is currently located on the eastern corner of the building, with entry via the service road off Fletcher Rd. As some distance separates the loading dock from the nearest residence (more than 300m) and a difference of 7m in RL is apparent between the loading dock and the landscaped area beyond, no significant acoustic treatment is anticipated, though we note the plans currently show a retaining wall around the loading area which will provide some additional acoustic benefit.
