An iconic Sydney landmark, and a World Heritage building, the Sydney Opera House is a vibrant cultural hub for the City of Sydney. Outdoor events make the most of Sydney’s climate and promote community involvement in the Sydney Opera House’s operations. The Sydney Opera House seeks to modify existing planning approvals for events held on the Southern Forecourt, Monumental Steps and Western Broadwalk. Acoustic Studio has been commissioned to conduct an operational acoustic assessment for the proposed outdoor events at the Sydney Opera House, and is detailed in this report along with the findings and recommendations. It has been prepared as part of the Modification Application for the existing DA-445-10-2003, to be submitted to the Department of Planning and Environment. The objectives of this assessment are to: Identify noise sensitive receivers (including internal spaces in the Sydney Opera House itself) that may be affected by the operation of the proposed Sydney Opera House outdoor events. Review existing environmental noise data to determine existing ambient and background noise levels at the nearest noise sensitive receivers that surround the site. Establish the appropriate noise assessment criteria in accordance with the relevant standards and guidelines. Carry out an assessment to determine whether the relevant criteria can be achieved based on proposed operations. Where applicable, provide recommendations for any necessary acoustic control measures that will need to be incorporated into the planning or operation of outdoor events in order to ensure compliance with the assessment criteria. The outcome of the noise assessment is that the noise limits set in 2003 are difficult to measure consistently and that this has affected the noise management
