6. My evidence in this submission is within my area of expertise, except where I state
that I am relying upon the evidence of another person.
7. My CV is attached as Appendix A to this Statement.
8. I have made all the inquiries that I believe are desirable and appropriate and that no
matters of signi?icance which I regard as relevant have to my knowledge been
withheld from the Advisory Committee.
2 INSTRUCTIONS AND INFORMATION RELIED ON
9. I have been instructed by Planning & Property Partners to prepare this Statement of
Evidence in relation to Kau?land Stores in Victoria Advisory Committee Hearing
(Kau?land Stores Proposal) for the Subject Land of 1-5 Gladstone Road, Dandenong.
10. The Subject Land is one of three sites making up Group 1 of the Kau?land Stores
Proposal.
11. I have been instructed to:
a. Assess the potential noise impacts at residential land proximate the Subject
Land; and
![Page 4: STATEMENT OF EVIDENCE FOR THE SUBJECT LAND OF: 1-5](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012103/616a09c611a7b741a34e215b/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)

b. Review submissions related to noise impacts and respond accordingly.
12. In preparation of my evidence, I have reviewed:
a. The Terms of Reference for the Kau?land Stores Proposal prepared by the
Minister for Planning;
b. Local policies relating to the Subject Land;
c. State polices and guidelines relating to noise control;
d. The exhibited ‘Rev A1’ plans and amended plans based on consultant inputs
(Plans); and
e. Submissions relating to the matter.
13. I have been instructed of the intention to operate each store as follows:
a. Opening hours between 7am – midnight;
b. Up to 10 deliveries during the opening hours; and
c. One delivery after hours (between midnight – 7am).
14. I have visited the Subject Land and surrounding area to:
a. Carry out measurements of existing background and ambient noise;
b. Make observations with respect to traf?ic and heavy vehicle activity in the area;
and
c. Make observations with regard to particular site features and noise
transmission paths between the Subject Land and proximate residential
dwellings.
15. I have imported 3D site topography data into noise modelling I prepared. This is
based on 1-5m elevation contours available at land.vic.gov.au.
3 QUALITATIVE REVIEW
16. In my experience, supermarkets are relatively low risk with respect to noise impacts,
where plant and truck deliveries are adequately controlled. This is intrinsic given
shopping centres and supermarkets often interface directly with residential
boundaries.
17. The noise sources that require consideration and assessment are:
a. Plant associated with refrigeration, air-conditioning and exhaust;
![Page 5: STATEMENT OF EVIDENCE FOR THE SUBJECT LAND OF: 1-5](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012103/616a09c611a7b741a34e215b/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

b. Deliveries;
c. Waste collection; and
d. Customer car parking.
18. There are no other sources of noise that I would consider as material to the Subject
Land proposal.
19. Qualitatively, it is also reasonable to expect that the risk of noise complaints is
further mitigated given:
a. The Subject Land is zoned Commercial 2;
b. There are already other commercial premises operating proximate the Subject
Land, which would include similar types of noise emissions from vehicles;
c. The Subject Land was previously operated as a Bunnings Warehouse, which
would have emitted similar types of noise emissions from vehicles;
d. The Subject Land abuts an arterial highway; and
e. The Subject Land only interfaces with one area of residential dwellings, on the
opposite side of David Street, which is a Council collector road and was observed
to carry appreciable volumes of traf?ic and heavy vehicles.
4 APPLICABLE NOISE POLICY AND GUIDELINES
4.1 SEPP N-1
20. State Environment Protection Policy (Control of Noise from Industry, Commerce and
Trade) No. N-1 (SEPP N-1) is the applicable noise policy for the proposed use. While
SEPP N-1 provides a foundation for assessing the noise impacts from commercial
uses, noise from non-commercial vehicles (i.e. car park) is exempt from the Policy.
21. SEPP N-1 applies to plant on commercial premises as well as commercial vehicles
(e.g. truck deliveries and commercial waste collection). However, in practice, the
SEPP N-1 assessment procedure is typically only relevant to commercial truck
deliveries and waste collection where such activities occur outside of the nominated
hours of EPA Publication 1254 and where there is are signi?icant number of events.
Adherence to Publication 1254 typically results in inherent compliance with SEPP N-
1 due to the relatively short duration of truck delivery / collection against the 30-
minute assessment period of SEPP N-1.
![Page 6: STATEMENT OF EVIDENCE FOR THE SUBJECT LAND OF: 1-5](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012103/616a09c611a7b741a34e215b/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

22. While it is common for planning permits to re-iterate conditions which are consistent
with the scheduled hours nominated in Publication 1254, delivery and waste
collection operations can comply with SEPP N-1 outside of the scheduled hours
under the right site conditions.
23. I note that because delivery truck noise is relatively transient , it is common practice to
also assess such events against established sleep disturbance thresholds for
operations between 10pm-7am.
4.2 EPA PUBLICATION 1254
24. For waste collection, the recommendations contained within Publication 1254 are as
follows:
a. One collection per week:
6:30am – 8pm Monday to Saturday
9am – 8pm Sunday and public holidays
b. Two or more collections per week:
7am – 8pm Monday to Saturday
9am – 8pm Sunday and public holidays
25. For deliveries and loading, the recommendations contained within Publication 1254
are as follows:
a. 7am – 10pm Monday to Saturday
b. 9am – 10pm Sunday and Public Holidays
4.3 SLEEP DISTURBANCE GUIDELINES
26. In practice, noise from car parks does not require assessment for supermarkets and
shopping centres given they are typically situated on main roads that inherently
carry more traf?ic and generate higher noise levels, particularly during normal
business hours. Because of this, quantitative assessments during day/evening hours
are of little value to the Advisory Committee however a quantitative assessment
during the SEPP N-1 de?ined ‘night’ period may assist with respect to commonly
accepted sleep disturbance thresholds.
27. The sleep disturbance thresholds have been accepted at VCAT and Planning Panel
hearings as an appropriate assessment trigger when noise sources fall outside the
![Page 7: STATEMENT OF EVIDENCE FOR THE SUBJECT LAND OF: 1-5](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012103/616a09c611a7b741a34e215b/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

normal assessment methodologies of SEPP N-1. Most commonly, the sleep
disturbance assessment applies to both commercial and non-commercial vehicles that
may be used on a site between the hours 10pm-7am.
28. For urban and suburban areas, the sleep disturbance threshold typically accepted is
65dB(A) outside dwellings, however for very infrequent events of 1-2 between the
hours 10pm-7am, it is also commonly accepted that outdoor noise levels of up to
80dB(A) do not impact on health and wellbeing (assuming opened windows).
5 SUBJECT LAND INSPECTIONS
29. I visited the Subject Land on 19 October, between approximately 1am and 2am, and 7
November, between approximately 1pm and 2pm.
30. My observations resulted in the following qualitative assessment:
a. The Subject Land is part of a larger existing commercial and industrial precinct
which continues east along David Street; and
b. The only residential dwellings that would have potential exposure to noise
emissions from the Subject Land are those immediately opposite David Street.
31. Attended noise testing proximate to residential dwellings on David Street resulted in
the following noise levels:
a. 41dB(A), L90, night
b. 53dB(A), Leq, night
c. 50dB(A), L90, day
d. 60dB(A), Leq, day
32. The noise environment was dominated by local traf?ic on David Street during the day
period inspection, and traf?ic on Princes Highway during the night period inspection.
33. In practice, the only noise limit that requires extensive consideration is the ‘night’
period noise limit, given the proposal includes store hours 10pm-midnight and
deliveries 10pm-7am. Where proposed operations are expected to comply with the
more stringent ‘night’ period, it is intrinsic that compliance is achieved during all
other periods. Equally, less mitigation would be required for other periods of the day.
This is also the case even where more deliveries occur during regular business hours,
given the SEPP N-1 assessment period is 30-minutes and any practical increase in the
![Page 8: STATEMENT OF EVIDENCE FOR THE SUBJECT LAND OF: 1-5](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012103/616a09c611a7b741a34e215b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

number of trucks during the day does not counteract signi?icantly higher noise limits
for that period.
34. While on-site, I noted that there is a two storey multi-unit dwelling at 146 Princes
Highway which has frontage to David Street. I consider that this important where
noise barriers are employed around the proposed loading dock given some line-of-
sight needs to be broken for a noise wall to be effective.
6 ASSESSMENT
6.1 Noise Limits
35. I have calculated the ‘Zoning Limits’ and Noise Limits in accordance with SEPP N-1
for the residential dwellings on Grand Parade, being:
Zoning Limit Background Noise, LA90 Noise Limit
49 dB(A) 41 dB(A) 49 dB(A)
36. I note that the Zoning Limit is relatively high in this area given the residents reside
relatively close to both C2Z and RDZ1 zoning.
6.2 Control of Plant Noise
37. Mechanical plant cannot be fully assessed until plant selections are known during
design and construction, however this is standard practice for planning assessments
and would not normally prohibit approval, nor change the recommended conditions
on an approved permit in practice. Experience suggests that plant equipment found
on the roofs of supermarkets can be easily attenuated using off-the-shelf attenuation
packages including:
a. Duct attenuators to exhaust and chiller.
b. Screening and/or acoustic louvres around bulk plant.
38. Supermarket and retail lessee’s are accustomed to providing packaged noise
attenuation to comply with SEPP N-1 since site contexts are generally similar at most
locations and often interfacing with residential land use.
39. I have carried out noise modelling and a sensitivity analysis of rooftop plant noise
for the Proposal. Using a combined plant Sound Power Level of 110dB(A), this
![Page 9: STATEMENT OF EVIDENCE FOR THE SUBJECT LAND OF: 1-5](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012103/616a09c611a7b741a34e215b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

results in compliance with SEPP N-1 during the night period. I note that such a
Sound Power Level would likely not occur from any refrigeration or HVAC plant
platform in my experience, even with basic screening, however the construction of
that plant screening (using approved noise barriers around plant platforms) would
need to be veri?ied during later design phases to ensure adequate mitigation is
employed.
40. The Plans indicate that rooftop mechanical platform will be located further towards
the north of the site, away from the southern parapet nearest to residents. In practice,
this means that the built form will provide signi?icant noise shielding to residential
dwellings.
41. Even though the risk of noise impacts from plant associated with the Proposal is
relatively low, I am ultimately satis?ied that it is adequate for an approved planning
permit to simply include a condition that the Subject Land comply with SEPP N-1,
and that design be reviewed by a quali?ied acoustic consultant at the appropriate
time.
6.3 Deliveries and Waste Collection
42. While a single delivery of goods overnight is likely to generate relatively low noise
impacts, use of reverse beepers can be audible at appreciable distances.
43. I have carried out noise modelling of truck deliveries and waste collection based on
Sound Power Levels of truck deliveries and loading activities I have recorded at
other supermarkets, primarily ALDI stores.
44. The Sound Power Levels I have determined from trucks on other sites are as follows:
Source Sound Power Level, LAeq, 30-min Sound Power Level, LAmax
Truck acceleration, idling
and reversing with
refrigeration
95 dB(A) 103 dB(A)
Truck brake release N/A 111 dB(A)
Waste truck collection N/A 116 dB(A)
Loading 81 dB(A) 102 dB(A)
![Page 10: STATEMENT OF EVIDENCE FOR THE SUBJECT LAND OF: 1-5](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012103/616a09c611a7b741a34e215b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

45. While some variation in vehicle noise can be expected site-to-site and time-to-time,
those variations are found to be immaterial with respect to assessing typical
operations in my experience.
46. Noise modelling based on the above data results in the following predictions:
a. Up to 56dB(A) Leq at residential properties on David Street over a 30-minute
period in accordance with SEPP N-1, including a +5dB tonal adjustment for
reverse beepers. This result does not comply with the SEPP N-1 night period
noise limit of 49dB(A).
b. <68 dB(A) Lmax at residential properties on David Street. This would not comply
with the normal sleep disturbance threshold (65dBA) but would comply with
the trigger for 1-2 events per night not causing effects to health and wellbeing.
47. I have carried out further modelling to establish the controls that would result in
compliance with both SEPP N-1 and the establish sleep disturbance triggers. These
are:
a. Waste collection prohibited to the hours nominated in EPA Publciation 1254;
b. Deliveries are restricted to one between the hours 10pm and 7am; and
c. A 4m high noise wall constructed around the proposed loading dock, with a
minimum 3m high solid clad gate to the loading dock entrance.
48. With the above controls implemented, the noise modelling results are:
a. Up to 40dB(A) Leq at residential properties on David Street over a 30-minute
period in accordance with SEPP N-1, including a +5dB tonal adjustment for
reverse beepers.
b. 65dB(A) Lmax at residential properties on David Street.
49. The noise wall would need to be constructed of a cladding weighing at least 15kg/m2
and with an acoustically absorptive ?inish (e.g. perforated galvanised metal) to the
internal surface of the noise wall facing into the loading dock, to avoid re?lected
noise between the loading dock, adjacent commercial buildings and residential
dwellings.
50. The solid gate would also need to be constructed in a way such that it does not
generate any material noise impacts. In my experience, this can be done by ensuring
that sliding or gear mechanisms employ soft rollers, typically made out of nylon as
opposed to steel and other metal components.
![Page 11: STATEMENT OF EVIDENCE FOR THE SUBJECT LAND OF: 1-5](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012103/616a09c611a7b741a34e215b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

51. While there would still be some direct noise exposure while the delivery truck
manoeuvres into the loading dock from the intersection of David Street and the service
road (Gateway Blvd), the duration of exposure would still be limited by the proposed
noise wall and therefore reduce the overall noise level.
52. It would prudent for a noise management plan employed on this site with speci?ic
guidelines for truck delivery drivers to avoid long periods of idling or aggressive
acceleration / braking at the David Street interface.
6.4 Car Park
53. Given the Subject Land car park abuts an arterial highway and Council collector road,
it is intrinsic that car park noise emissions will not cause adverse impacts. It is also
unlikely that customers would park vehicles along the David Street boundary between
10pm and midnight, when the store is not as busy and parking is available closer to
the entry.
54. To con?irm that such events will not exceed the sleep disturbance thresholds, I have
modelled typical vehicle noise events such as ignition and car doors slamming, based
on the following Sound Power Levels:
c. Car door slamming, 92dB(A)
d. Vehicle ignition, 87dB(A)
55. The results of the modelling suggest that that Lmax noise levels from the car park will
be <47dB(A). In practice, I expect such events to be inaudible or indistinguishable
from other traf?ic noise in the area.
6.5 Noise Mapping
56. I have provided noise mapping with respect to each assessment scenario (i.e. SEPP N-1
and sleep disturbance) in Appendix B.
7 RESPONSE TO SUBMISSIONS
57. Submission D01 notes concerns regarding:
a. Increased people and traf?ic noise
b. After hours deliveries
c. Refrigerated trucks
![Page 12: STATEMENT OF EVIDENCE FOR THE SUBJECT LAND OF: 1-5](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012103/616a09c611a7b741a34e215b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Page 12 of 22
d. Box-crushers
e. Re?lected noise off buildings
58. With respect to a), modelling suggests that the level of customer noise is expected to
be inaudible or indistinguishable from other noise that already occurs in the area.
59. With respect to b), I agree that after-hours deliveries presents as the highest risk of
adverse noise impact for the Proposal, however I have recommended that this is
mitigated by:
Limiting waste collection to the nominated hours in EPA Publication 1254;
Only one delivery occurring between 10pm and 7am; and
Erection of a 4m high noise wall around the loading dock with 3m high solid
clad entry gate.
60. With respect to c), the empirical data which my assessment and modelling is based
on includes refrigerated trucks. The trucks are based on single trailer trucks and I
have been instructed that the Proposal does not cater for B-doubles and/or road
trains.
61. With respect to d), cardboard and box crushers I have measured at supermarket
loading docks generate immaterial noise levels. Typically, they are encased in thick
steel cladding. Ultimately though, this source of noise would be subject to
assessment in accordance with SEPP N-1.
62. With regard to e), re?lected noise has been included in the noise modelling. In
particular, there is the risk that the erection of the proposed noise wall would
exaserbate re?lected noise from the loading dock area. For this reason, I have
recommended that the noise wall cladding include an acoustically absorptive ?inish
to mitigate this. I set out the requirements for this in para49.
63. Submission D04 raises concerns that the lack of trees and landscaping will reduce
the level of noise ‘dampening’ between the buildings. I note that trees and
landscaping are completely ineffective in controlling noise in the way suggested and
the planting of trees would be immaterial to the noise results.
64. Submission D05 recommends noise conditions relating to SEPP N-1 and a
Construction Management Plan. I agree with this and such conditions are relatively
standardised for these types of proposal.
65. Submission G01 raises queries regarding:
a. Delivery times;
![Page 13: STATEMENT OF EVIDENCE FOR THE SUBJECT LAND OF: 1-5](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012103/616a09c611a7b741a34e215b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Page 13 of 22
b. Waste disposal / collection;
c. Hours of operation; and
d. Noise generated from plant.
66. The submission generally re-iterates text from Publication 1254 and as discussed
earlier, while the guidelines provide good in-principle advice to minimise impacts,
they are not necessarily required for sites with little to no surrounding sensitive use,
or where other means of noise control are employed.
67. All of the above matters have been addressed in this Statement.
68. Submission G01 also raises that SEPP N-1 may be phased out in the future and
instead recommends more generalised condition wording. While I am not opposed to
general noise amenity conditions, in my experience, they can have the opposite effect
for Council enforcement of?icers, in that compliance is more easily misinterpreted.
8 RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE
69. With the correct noise mitigation and permit conditions in place, I am satis?ied that
the Proposal presents as a relatively low risk to adverse noise impacts.
70. An approved planning permit for the Proposal should include the following
conditions:
a. The premises shall comply with State Environment Protection Policy No. N-1,
including all plant equipment, loading dock use, truck deliveries and waste
collection.
b. Plant equipment shall be assessed by a suitably quali?ied acoustic consultant
during design and construction to ensure compliance with SEPP N-1.
c. A limit of one truck delivery shall occur between the hours 10pm-7am.
d. Waste trucks shall only permitted to access the land between the hours:
7am – 8pm Monday to Saturday
9am – 8pm Sunday and public holidays
e. A noise wall, 4m high, and 3m high solid gate, shall be erected around the loading
dock in accordance with the plans marked up in Appendix C. The noise wall and
gate shall be constructed of cladding weighing at least 15kg/m2 and with an
acoustically absorptive ?inish to the internal face. The gate shall be used between
the hours 10pm and 7am and shall remain closed during the period that the

delivery truck is within the loading dock. The gate itself shall be constructed to
emit low levels of noise by employing soft rollers and no metal-on-metal contact
points
f. A noise management plan shall be prepared which includes provisions for
minimising truck noise along David Street
71. In accordance with the above recommendations and the mitigation advice referred to
in this Statement, I am satis?ied that a permit can be approved for the proposed use
on the Subject Land. With respect to noise assessment, no amendment to the Council
scheme is deemed required.
