This specialist acoustic report provides an update on our previous acoustic report, prepared in 2004, and re-examines the impact of environmental noise potentially affecting the residential development of ‘South Tralee’. Investigations include a review of aircraft noise, industrial noise, road noise and rail traffic noise onto the site in terms of the current Australian Standards and NSW Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water (DECCW) Policy. Furthermore, Section 62 submissions have been reviewed and the issues pertaining to noise have been identified and addressed within this report. The scope of work for this acoustic study includes: • Obtain and review available and relevant information with regards to noise impacting the South Tralee Site and previous Renzo Tonin & Associates reports, including: - NSW Department of Planning Section 117 Ministerial Directions - direction 3.5; - the acoustic study (ref. VBC050609.JA eltr, dated 5 June 2009) prepared by Wilkinson Murray Pty Ltd and the subsequent response report (ref.
