Noise Measurement Services Pty Ltd Report 1529_41 15th September 2020 3 Noise Monitoring Report for Brisbane Motorway Services – Clem Jones Tunnel Monitoring Period: September 2020 1. Introduction

This Report is prepared for Transurban in response to a request for the monitoring of road traffic noise levels from the Clem Jones Tunnel (also referred to as CLEM7 tunnel). The purpose of the survey is to present measured noise levels at residential locations near the roading network around the entry and exit points for the Clem Jones Tunnel. A summary of the locations follow:

• ML1: 153 Lambert Street, Kangaroo Point • ML2: Multicultural Development Australia premises, corner Dibley and Albert Streets, Woolloongabba • ML3: 6 Tufton Street, Bowen Hills • ML4: Brisbane Motorway Services air quality monitoring station (AQMS) at Northey Street, Windsor

This Report presents the monitoring results from noise surveys conducted during September 2020, for the third quarter. The time-period does not include public or school holidays. A summary of weather observations is set out in Appendix D.

This Report is intended to be read in conjunction with prior reports (Table 1.1) and in particular the first Report number 1529_1 dated 7th July 2010 which contains details of the measurement locations and results from an initial survey conducted in April 2010.

Notes regarding measurement locations: 1. In Reports 1, 2 and 12 to 37, noise monitoring location ML4 was located at the Brisbane Motorway Services’ air quality monitoring station on Northey Street. For Report 3 through to Report 11 ML4 was located at 27 Northey Street, Windsor. The air quality monitoring station was demolished in 2019 and the location is now in parkland adjacent. 2. ML2 was, for reports 1 through 25, at 6 Albert Street Woolloongabba. From reports 26 to 35 the property was not available. From report 36 to present and for future reports a new location nearby has been identified, being near the carpark of the Multicultural Development Australia premises on Dibley Street, Woolloongabba (near the intersection with Albert Street).

Noise Measurement Services Pty Ltd Report 1529_41 15th September 2020 5 Noise Monitoring Report for Brisbane Motorway Services – Clem Jones Tunnel Monitoring Period: September 2020 2. Noise Criteria and Limits

2.1 Summary of Assessment Criteria

The assessment criteria are contained in the COG Project Approval which refers to the Environmental Protection (Noise) Policy 1997 (now superseded) and the Department of Transport and Main Roads’ (DTMR’s) Code of Practice - Road Traffic Noise Management. An excerpt from the COG Project approval is provided below.

Of the four sites surveyed, ML2 - 6 Albert Street Woolloongabba, is the only one to be classified as near a ‘state-controlled’ road and is therefore covered under DTMR’s requirements. The remaining sites would have been subject to the Environmental Protection (Noise) Policy but are now subject to the ‘status-quo’ noise levels (see Note under ‘Table 6’ of the COG Project approval above).

The ‘status-quo’ noise levels for each site were provided by Brisbane Motorway Services and are summarised in Appendix B.

2.2 Environmental Protection (Noise) Policy 1997

In this Report, the Environmental Protection (Noise) Policy 1997 (now superseded) has been addressed. This policy states that the following planning levels for a public road are not to exceed:

• 68 dB(A) L10(18hr) for a State-controlled road,

• 60 dB(A) Leq(1hr) between 10pm and 6am, • 80 dB(A) single event maximum sound pressure level.

Measurements are made by monitoring noise one metre in front of the most exposed part of an affected noise sensitive place.

Noise Measurement Services Pty Ltd Report 1529_41 15th September 2020 6 Noise Monitoring Report for Brisbane Motorway Services – Clem Jones Tunnel Monitoring Period: September 2020

This Noise Policy was superseded by the Environmental Protection (Noise) Policy 2008 (see below), which is promulgated pursuant to the Environmental Protection Act 1994. The 2008 Policy establishes new acoustic quality objectives to protect or enhance stated environmental values (see 2.3 below).

2.3 Environmental Protection (Noise) Policy

The Environmental Protection (Noise) Policy 2019, and its predecessor from 2008 establishes acoustic quality objectives to protect or enhance stated environmental values. The environmental values to be enhanced or protected under the policy are the qualities of the acoustic environment that are conducive to protecting the health and biodiversity of ecosystems; the amenity of the community, human health and well-being and including ensuring a suitable acoustic environment for individuals to sleep, study and learn, as well as to be involved in recreation including relaxation and conversation.

The acoustic quality objectives do not apply to noise from aircraft movement, noise from the ordinary use of a public road or State-controlled road and noise from the ordinary use of a busway, light rail or rail transport infrastructure. This is a significant variation from the previous (1997) policy as that policy did apply to noise from road and rail.

The ambient observations for this Report indicate that the dominant noise character of the environment, apart from wind in trees and residential neighbour activity, is noise from “ordinary” rail / road traffic, distant industrial and commercial uses. Accordingly, the Environmental Protection (Noise) Policy 2019 would not apply to this assessment.

2.4 Department of Transport and Main Roads’ Requirements

The COG Project Approval refers to (the “desirable criteria” of) the Department of Transport and Main Roads’ "Road Traffic Noise Management Code of Practice". The Code is not a statutory document and has been developed by the Department for its own purposes.

This COG Project Approval states that the following levels not to be exceeded:

• 68 dB(A) L10(18hr) for a State-controlled road

These levels were assessed by monitoring noise levels at one metre in front of the most exposed part of an affected noise sensitive place.

This is the same as the “68 dB(A) L10 (18hr) for a State-controlled road” set out in Section 2.1 above. The level is “façade affected’, that is, it has a factor of 2.5 dB(A) built in to represent the level of reflected sound measured when recording near to a building. Where the location is not façade affected, it is considered to be in a “free-field”, and an adjustment is made to readings to include this factor.

3. Survey Results

3.1 Measured Noise Levels at 153 Lambert Street, Kangaroo Point (ML1)

The measurement location ML1 is located in the outdoor courtyard area on ground floor level at 153 Lambert Street, Kangaroo Point. The microphone was positioned 4 metres from the southern boundary and 1.4 metres above ground level, overlooking Shafston Avenue. The location is not considered to be façade affected and the assessment is adjusted accordingly.

The operation of the sound level measuring equipment was field calibrated before and after each measurement session was found to be within 0.5 dB of the reference signal. All sound level instrumentation used in this assessment holds a current calibration certificate from a certified NATA calibration laboratory. The following instruments were used to measure the ambient noise levels-

• Larson Davis 831 Class 1 sound level meter; • Larson Davis CAL200 Class 1 calibrator.

Ambient sound pressure levels were measured generally in accordance with Australian Standard AS1055:2018 – Acoustics - Description and Measurement of Environmental Noise, and AS2702:1984 – Acoustics - Methods for the Measurement of Road Traffic Noise.

Ambient noise levels were recorded at 15-minute intervals from the 2nd to the 8th of September 2020 (Figure 3.1.1 and a seven-day summary in Table 3.1.1). Cumulative levels over multiple surveys are set out in Figure 3.1.2 and Table 3.1.2. Noise levels at this site are dominated by road traffic on Shafston Avenue.

3.2 Measured Noise Levels at Dibley and Albert Streets, Woolloongabba (ML2)

The new measurement location ML2 (from report 36 onwards) is near the carpark of the Multicultural Development Australia premises at 32 Dibley Street, Woolloongabba (near the intersection with Albert Street). The location is not considered to be façade affected and the assessment is adjusted accordingly.

The original measurement location ML2 was located on the first-floor balcony at 6 Albert Street, Woolloongabba approximately 3.8 metres above ground level. This location overlooks the Ipswich Road underpass of the Pacific Motorway and the CLEM7 tunnel entrance. The measurements at this location were façade affected, and no adjustment is required to arrive at a façade affected level for the purposes of this analysis. This location has now been retired at the instruction of the client. The cumulative data for the previous monitoring periods is presented below.

The operation of the sound level measuring equipment was field calibrated before and after each measurement session and was found to be within 0.2 dB of the reference signal. All sound level instrumentation used in this assessment holds a current calibration certificate from a certified NATA calibration laboratory. The following instruments were used to measure the ambient noise levels-

• Rion NL21 Class 2 sound level meter; • Larson Davis CAL200 Class 1 calibrator.

Ambient noise levels were recorded at 15-minute intervals from the 2nd to the 8th of September 2020 (Figure 3.2.1 and a seven-day summary in Table 3.2.1). Cumulative levels over multiple surveys are set out in Figure 3.2.2 and Table 3.2.2. Noise levels at this site are considered representative of the road noise in the locality.

3.3 Measured Noise Levels at 6 Tufton Street, Bowen Hills (ML3)

The measurement location ML3 is located in the car park at 6 Tufton Street, Bowen Hills. The microphone was positioned on the west boundary and 2.4 metres above ground level. This location is not considered to be façade affected, and the values are adjusted accordingly. It overlooks an adjacent rail line, and the CLEM7 road network and Inner City Bypass are visible.

The operation of the sound level measuring equipment was field calibrated before and after each measurement session and was found within 0.1 dB of the reference signal. All instrumentation used in this assessment hold a current calibration certificate from a certified NATA calibration laboratory. The following instruments were used to measure the ambient noise levels-

• Larson Davis 831 Class 1 sound level meter; • Larson Davis CAL200 Class 1 calibrator.

Ambient noise levels were recorded at 15 minute intervals from the 2nd and 8th of June 2020, as set out in Table and Figure 3.3.1. Cumulative levels over multiple surveys are set out in Table and Figure 3.3.2.

Noise levels at this site are dominated by frequent train passes by on the adjacent rail line. Other sources of noise include noise from the residents on site such as vehicle movement, home theatre systems, voices, and other domestic noises. During this noise monitoring period, it is noted that significant construction was being undertaken near the rail line that included rock breakers and this has impacted the measured sound levels.

3.4 Measured Noise Levels at Northey Street, Windsor (ML4)

The measurement location ML4 is located on Northey Street, Windsor, in parkland adjacent to the former site of the AQMS (Air Quality Monitoring Station). The measurements at this location are now façade affected as new property boundary acoustic fencing has been installed (as of June 2020), and no adjustment is required to arrive at a façade affected level for the purposes of this analysis.

In Reports 1, 2 and 12 to 37, noise monitoring location ML4 was located at the Brisbane Motorway Services’ air quality monitoring station on Northey Street. For Report 3 through to Report 11 ML4 was located at 27 Northey Street, Windsor. The air quality monitoring station was demolished in 2019 and the location is now in parkland adjacent. The Measurement Location and locality photograph of ML4 is shown in Appendix A.

The operation of the sound level measuring equipment was field calibrated before and after each measurement session and was found to be within 0.1. All instrumentation used in this assessment hold a current calibration certificate from a certified NATA calibration laboratory. The following instruments were used to measure the ambient noise levels- • Rion NL21 Class 2 sound level meter; • Larson Davis CAL200 Class 1 calibrator.

Ambient noise levels were recorded at 15 minute intervals from the 2nd to 8th July 2020 (Figure 3.4.1 and a seven day summary in Table 3.4.1). Cumulative levels over multiple surveys are set out in Figure 3.4.2 and Table 3.4.2.

Noise levels at this site are dominated by road traffic noise from the Lutwyche Road, the M7 intersection and occasional vehicles on Northey Street. Site works are currently being undertaken in the general area. The open space has started being used for parking of vehicles.

Event maximum sound pressure level (LA%,adj,T), L01 The L01 level is calculated as the noise level equalled and exceeded for 1% of the measurement time, for example 9 seconds in any 15 minute interval. L01 is an appropriate level to characterise single events, such as from impulsive or distinctive pass-by noise (example: rail noise). In this Report, the measured L01 levels for day/evening/night are not averaged but are arranged from low to high in the relevant day/evening/night interval and the value that is found at the 90th percentile (L10 of L01 sample) in the interval is recorded as its “L01” level. The level can be adjusted for tonality or impulsiveness.

Average maximum sound pressure level (LA%,adj, T), L10 The “L10” level is an indicator of “steady-state” noise or intrusive noise conditions from traffic, music and other relatively non-impulsive noise sources. The L10 level is calculated as the noise level equalled and exceeded for 10% the measurement time, for example 90 seconds in any 15 minute interval. The measured L10 time-intervals for day/evening/night are arithmetically averaged to present the “average maximum” levels of the environment for day/evening/night. The level can be adjusted for tonality or impulsiveness.

Background sound pressure level (LA90,T), L90 Commonly called the "L90" or "background" level and is an indicator of the quietest times of day, evening or night. The L90 level is calculated as the noise level equalled and exceeded for 90% the measurement time. The measured L90 time- intervals are arithmetically averaged to present the “average background” levels of the environment for day/evening/night. The level is recorded in the absence of any noise under investigation. The level is not adjusted for tonality or impulsiveness.

Equivalent Continuous or time average sound pressure level (LAeq,T), Leq Commonly called the "Leq" level it is the logarithmic average noise level from all sources far and near. The maximum 1- hour levels within the day/evening/night time intervals are referenced. The level can be adjusted for tonality.

Façade-affected level A sound level that is measured at a distance of 1.0 metres from a wall or facade. The level is nominally 2.5 dB higher than the free-field level.

Façade-adjusted level A sound level that is measured more than 3.5 metres from a reflective façade and adjusted to represent a measurement at a façade (example: side of building) at a distance of 1.0 metre. The level is nominally 2.5 dB higher than the free-field level.

Free-field level A sound level that is measured at a distance of more than 3.5 metres from a wall or facade.
