Introduction

No. 5 Aeolus Avenue is located on the south-western side of Aeolus Avenue between "North Road" 85 metres to the west & "Wolger Road / Eula Parade" about 65 metres to the south. Aelus Avenue is a quiet suburban street with limited traffic.

The site is about 150 metres north-east of Blaxland Road & about 475 metres north-west of Lane Cove Road.

BGMA Pty Ltd, acoustical consultants, has been engaged to provide a noise_ assessment for the proposed development.

This report provides predictions of the acoustic impacts of the proposed facility upon nearby residences. This report includes recommended of acoustic measures required to achieve recommended internal and external noise criteria.

The Site & the Child Care Centre

The site is 20.12 metre wide by about 59.45 metres from front to rear.

The long axis of the site is rotated about 45 degrees clockwise from the True North.

The natural ground level at the front (north-west) boundary rises about 600 mm from the western corner at an RL elevation of about 82.4 metres to the northern corner at an RL elevation of 83.0 metres.

The natural ground level at the rear (south-east) boundary rises about 400 mm from the north-west corner at an RL elevation of 77.9 metres to the eastern corner at an RL elevation of 78.3 metres.

The site slopes diagonally by about 5.1 metres from the northern corner to the southern corner. Parallel to the side boundaries the slope is about 4.6 metres. Parallel. to the front & rear boundaries, the cross-site slope, the site slopes about 0.5 metres.

The proposed Child Care Centre has three (3) levels, with two (2) chi ld care cent.re levels and car park below.

The Lower Ground floor level is an enclosed car park level with four (4) parking spaces for staff & twelve spaces for seven (7) parents & guardians. Across the rear, there's a storeroom accessed from the car park & two (2) accessed from the external activity area, plus a bathroom accessed from the external activity area.

This area is about 17.1 metres wide by 29.3 metres deep with floor RL elevation of 80 metres & ceiling RL elevation of 82.7 metres, between 10 and 39.3 metres of the front boundary.

At the front, the floor level is 2.6 metres (north-east side) to 2.1 metres (south east side) below ground level. At the rear, at 39.3 metres, the floor level is 400 mm (north east side) below ground level to 100 mm (south west side) above ground level.

The proposed Child Care Centre has two (2) child care levels.

The Ground floor level contains kitchen, manager's office and entry across the front, with staffroom, toilet, and laundry beyond. There is an external parking space on the north-east side of the kitchen, and external car park access on the south west side of the entry, staffroom & toilet.

There are two (2) 'toddlers' rooms about 68 square metres and 117 square metres on the north-east side indicating capacity for 20 children ('toddlers') [but with 16 indicated] in the first, and 36 children ('toddlers') [but with 30 ind icated) in the second. These access the rear externa l activity area via external stairs.

There is an 'infants' room on the south-west side of about 55 square metres indicating capacity for 16 children ('infants' ).

There is a rear deck area about 6.4 metres wide by about 12 metres back-to-front. At about 78 square metres, this indicates an external capacity for 11 children ('infants' or 'toddlers') at a time.

The Ground floor level is about 17.1 metres wide by 29.3 metres deep with a floor RL elevation of 83 metres & ceiling RL elevation of 85.7 metres between 10 metres & 39.3 metres from the front boundary, with a deck extending out a further 7 metres ..

At the front, the floor level is 400 mm (north-east side) to 900 mm (south east side) above ground level. At the rear, at 39.3 metres, the floor level is 2.6 metres (north east side) to 3.1 metres (south west side) above ground level.

The proposed Child Care Centre has an upper child care centre level.

The First floor level contains an internal activity room, a storeroom, an office & bathroom.

The internal activity room is about 48 square metres indicating about l4 'pre-school' children.

First floor level [10.7 metres wide; 10.9 metres deep] has floor RL elevation of 86 metres & ceiling RL elevation of 88.7 metres between 10 metres & 20.9 metres from the fr_ont boundary.

At the front, the floor level is 3.4 metres (north-east side) to 3.9 metres (south east side) above ground level. At the rear of this level, only 20.9 metres back from Aeolus Avenue, the floor level is 4.5 metres above natural ground level.

The proposed Child Care Centre has an external activity area at the rear of about 507 square metres of which it only required 434 square metres.

Indicated occupancy is 16 'infants', 46 'toddlers' & 14 'pre-schoolers', or a total of number of 76 children.

The 'toddlers' & 'pre-schoolers' are likely to use the rear external activity area. The 16 'infants' would most likely utilise the rear deck for their external activity time.

The Site & Nearest Potentially Affected residences

The side boundary of the site of the proposed child care centre is 60. 75 metres on the north east side and 59.145 metres on the south-west side. The nearest potentially affected residences are:

• Across the north-east boundary, No. 7 Aeolus Avenue.

These appear to be single storey residences set back about 5 metres from the boundary between 6.5 metres and 33.5 metres from the front boundary (adjacent to the side wall of the childcare centre building), and set back about 1.5 metres from the boundary between 3_3.5 metres and 44 metres from the front boundary (adjacent to north west corner of the external activity area).

• Across the north-east boundary, No. 49 & 498 Wolger Road.

Located between 47.5 metres and 67 metres from Aeolus Avenue, these appear to be double storey dual occupancy residences with upper lever set back about 12 metres from the boundary and lower level set back about 8 metres from the boundary. These residences are off the south east corner of the external activity area.

• Across the south west boundary, No. 3A Aeolus Avenue.

This old single storey residence extends between 6 metres & 19 metres of the front boundary set back about 2 metres from the side boundary. It will be adjacent to the car park access ramp.

• Across the south west boundary, No. 38 Aeolus Avenue.

This double storey building is between 41.5 metres & 58.5 metres of Aeolis Avenue and is about 21.5 metres from the side boundary of the child care centre.

• There is a st epped residence ~t No. 47 Wolger Road with single storey section at about 23 metres of the rear boundary of the child care centre and second st orey section at about 26 metres about 25 degrees off the corner.

• To the south of the southern rear corner of the site is an open park.

Note: All calculations will take into account the slope of the site and the surrounding area.

. Environmental Background Noise Levels

Attended noise levels were measured on Thursday 26th

October 2017 between 2:15 pm and 3:15 pm.

The time selected for measurement is based upon 35 years of environmental noise measurement experience and upon the experience gained measuring environmental background noise levels of more than 200 other child care centres.

The noise monitor was located at the front boundary of No. 5 Aeolus Avenue, mid way between No. 3A & No. 7 Aeolis Avenue.

Noise levels were measured using a 0ldB-Stell "Symphonie" (Serial No. #01481) attached to a Acer Aspire 3681 WXMl portable computer (model ZR1; Serial No. LXAP0506063604D772500) . The microphone and pre-amp were a 0ldB-Stell pre-amplifier (Serial No. 011280) and microphope (Serial No. 18528).

Calibration was checked with a Svantek SV 30A acoustical calibrator (Serial No. 7942).

No significant system drift was observed .

The attended noise monitoring results permit the identification of extraneous noise sources and the removal of same in accordance with AS 1055.

During the measurements, the weather was clear, without significant wind and no rain during the measurement period, so the measurements were not influenced by meteorological contamination.

Table 1 - Measured Environmental Noise Levels

Time Intervals Standard Noise Descriptors for 15 minute Measurement Periods in dB(A)

LAeq LAmax LA01 LAlO LA9o LAmin

2:15 pm - 2:30 pm 53.7 69.4 64.3 . 57.7 42.7 39.8

2:30 pm - 2:45 pm 54.7 76.1 65.2 58.6 42.8 40.4

2:45 pm - 3:00 pm 70.0 99.0 74.5 60.6 43.7

40.5 (55.9) (71.8) (65.8) (59.7) (43.8)

59.4 43 .4 40.0

The LAmax noise level in the third period was an ambulance. The values in brackets were the adjusted values by removing this event. The LAmax noise level in the second period was a single bird call. The values in brackets were the adjusted values by removing this event.

Based in site observations and a review of the data, the estimated LA9o,ismin environmental 'background' noise level is 43 dB(A) and the estimated "underlying,, LAeq,lSmin environmental 'background' noise level [between cars] was about 44 to 45 dB(A) for this area.

The traffic induced LAeq,ismin noise level at 10 metres from the centre of the road [where most cars were travelling] was about 61 dB(A) for this area, with LAmax levels of 76 dB(A).

At the front facade, the LAeq,lSmin noise level would be about 58 dB(A) diminishing by distance & view angle to an LAeq,ismin noise of less than 42 dB(A) at the far end of the side wall of the child care centre.

At the front facade, the LAmax noise level would be about 70 dB(A) diminishing by distance to an LAmax noise of less than 62 dB(A) at the far end of the side wall of the child care centre.

The area was impacted by traffic noise from North Road, Blaxland Road, from Lane Cove Road.

Noise Criteria

The criteria must cover noise emissions to other premises and noise impact on the child care centre.

In child care centres, it is recommended that the 'sleeping rooms' have a LAeq,T noise level of 30 dB(A) or less and that other rooms have a LAeq,T noise level of40 dB(A) or less.

The generally agreed 'free-field' intrusiveness LAeq,15 min noise limit is LA9o,1smin plus 5 d B(A)

'Sleep disturba nce' criteria discussions indicate internal LAmax levels of SO to 55 dB(A) are acceptable, this relates to transient noises with gradual rise & fall (aircraft & road noise).

Generally, child care centres operate 7:00 am to 6:00 pm, Monday to Friday inclusive.

Initially, some noise is generated by arriving vehicles & drop-off.

Only later in the day will external activities generate higher noise levels.

For the site to be acceptable, it should not be a source of 'offensive noise'. 'Offensive noise' is defined within the protection of Environmental Operations Act' (1997) as meaning:

'Noise:

a) that by reason of its level, nature, character or quality, or the time at which it is made, or any other circumstances:

i) is harmful to (or is likely to be harmful to) a person who is outside the premises from which it is emitted, or

ii) interferes unreasonably with (or is likely to interfere unreasonably with) the comfort or repose of a person who is outside the premises from which it is em itted, or

b) that is of a level, nature, character or quality prescribed by the regulations or that is made at a time, or in other circumstances, prescribed by the regulations.'

Guidance on the assessment of 'offensive noise' is provided by criteria contained within the 'Industrial Noise Policy' (January 2000).

The criteria contained in this document cover noise in urban, suburban and rural rooms, and is used as the basis for the assessment of noise and the setting of noise criteria by most Local Councils. The Industrial Noise Policy (January 2000) has two components.

These are a Noise Intrusion Criteria and a Noise Amen ity Criteria. Only one will become the limit ing criterion.

The Industrial Noise Policy (January 2000) states that:

'The intrusiveness of an industrial noise source may generally be considered acceptable if the equiva lent continuous (energy-average) A-weighted level of noise from the source (represented by the LAeq descriptor) measured over a 15 minute period, does not exceed the background noise level measured in the absence of the source by more than 5 dB.'

When considering the environmental consequence of noise from a specific source, any increase above the background sound pressu re level, which exceeds 5 dB, may be offensive. The perception of noise and its level of offensiveness depend greatly on the broader situation within which it occurs.

The Industrial Noise Policy (January 2000) stated that:

'To limit continuing increases in noise levels, the maximum ambient noise level within an room from industrial noise sources should not normally exceed the acceptable noise levels specified in Table 2.1.'

The relevant sections of Table 2.1 in the Industrial Noise Policy are reproduced in Table 2. The area would be classified as Suburban according to the Industrial Noise Policy classifications for interpretation of Table 2.1.

For the purposes of this assessment, the Suburban noise classification has been applied. Daytime is defined as 0700 to 1800 hrs, and evening from 1800 to 2200 hrs.

Table 2 - Recommended Noise Levels from Industrial & Commercial Noise Sources in dB(A).

Type of Receiver Indicative Noise Time of Day Recommended LAea Noise Level Amenity Room Acceptable Extreme

Residential Suburban Day 55 60 Evening 45 50

Night 40 45

Modifications are applied relative to an Amenity Noise Level to account for the existing level of environmental noise. These modifiers are shown in Table 3.

Table 3 - Modifications to Acceptable Noise Level to Account for the Existing Level of Industrial Noise.

Acceptable noise level minus 6 Acceptable noise level minus 1 Less than Acceptable noise level minus 6 Acceptable noise level

The estimated underlying LAeq,lSmin was 45 dB(A), with a traffic induced LAeq,lSmll\ of 58 dB(A) at the front facade. The expected noise exposure to the rear of these residences would be an LAeq,tsmin of about 45 dB(A).

Because of the layout of the site, the LAeq,lSmin Amenity Noise Limit would be 48 dB(A) at the front and 55 dB(A) at the rear. ·

The LAeq,lSmin Intrusiveness Noise Limit would be (43+5) or 48 dB(A) during the day.

The appropriate noise limit would be a LAeq,lSmin of 48 dB(A) beyond the residential boundaries for noise emissions from the childcare centre building and the external educational play-activity rooms.

Vehicle Movement Noise

'Carer to child' ratios are 1:4 with infants, 1:5 with toddlers, and 1:10 with pre-schoolers.

The basic staff numbers would be four (4) carers for the 'infants', nine to ten (9 to 10) carers for the 'toddlers', and two (2) carers for the 'pre-schoolers', or a total of fifteen to sixteen (15 to 16) persons, plus the manager and any part-time ancillary staff.

I will assume 76 children and up to 20 adults.

According to the RTA NSW "Guide to Traffic Generation", for a child care centre, the traffic generation is:

• 0.8 trips per child per hour between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m.

• 0.3 trips per child per hour between 2:30 p.m. and 4:00 p.m.

• 0.7 trips per child per hour between 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m.

Note: A trip is either a vehicle entering the site, or a vehicle leaving the site.

There will be four (4) staff parking spaces below the child care centre & one (1) on the north-east side at the front. Staff could come to the centre - by foot, by public transport or car (dropped-off or self-drive).

According to information provided there will be 76 children.

The morning 'hourly' peak traffic generation could be about 30 to 31 vehicles per hour between 7:00 am and 9:00 am.

In the afternoon, the likely 'hourly" peak traffic generation could be about 11 to 12 vehicles per hour between 2:30 pm to 4:00 pm increasing to about 26 to 27 vehicles per hour between 4:00 pm and 6:00 pm.

For child care centres, drop-offs and pick-up times tend to be staggered across the each period, due to the varying needs of the parents and guardians.

Generally, child care centres operate 7:00 am to 6:00 pm, Monday to Friday inclusive.

If the centre opens at 7:00 pm, manager & staff are likely to start arriving from about 6:30 am, with parents & guardians likely to start arriving after 7:00 am.

Between 7:00 am & 9:00 am, parents & guardians have seven (7) spaces in the car park below the centre, plus one (1) 'drop off space in front of the building. During drop-off & sign-in, vehicles are likely to be parked for 10 to 15 minutes.

With about thirty (30) "arrival / departures" per hour (and eight (8) available spaces) each space is used 3 to 4 times in the hour.

For vehicle movements, measurements indicate that at 7.5 metres from a vehicle during pick-up or drop off the Single Event Level (SEL) is 77 dB(A) including door noise. An SEL is not a measure of instantaneous noise level. It is the acoustic energy content of an event that is then 'normalised' to within a nominal 1-second period for engineering calculation purposes, and expanded to number of vehicles per hour. This was used to calculate LAeq values.

Traffic via the car park ramp is likely to be about 27 visits per hour about 3-4 using the front bay.

• The predicted LAeq,lSmin traffic noise levels is likely to be about 59 dB(A) to the boundary and about 55 dB(Al to the side wall of the residence at No. 3A Aeolus Avenue [with LAmax levels up to 65 dB(A)].

• The predicted LAeq,lSmin traffic noise levels is likely to be about· 58 dB(A) to the boundary and about 48 dB(A) to the side wall of the residences at No. 7 Aeolus Avenue [with LAmax levels up to 65 dB(A)].

Based on the light afternoon traffic LAeq,lSmin noise levels:

• No. 3A Aeolus Avenue would currently be exposed to LAeq,lSmin traffic noise levels of 59 dB(A) facing the road & 56 dB(A) sides-on, dropping to 52 dB(A) further from road, and No. 7 Aeolus

Avenue would currently be exposed to LAeq,ismin traffic noise levels of 53 dB(A) facing the road & 56 dB(A) side on. ·

Based on the light afternoon traffic LAmaxn noise levels:

• No. 3A Aeolus Avenue would currently be exposed to LAmax traffic noise levels of 73 dB(A) facing the road, dropping to 67 dB(A) further from road and No. 7 Aeolus Avenue would currently be exposed to LAmax traffic noise levels of 71 dB(A) facing the road & side on.

Acoustically, the filling of the staff car park space adjacent to No. 7 Aeolus Avenue would be equivalent to a neighbour for work in the morning. Early in the morning traffic levels on the street could be expected to be higher due to neighbours going to work.

Vehicle movements in the parking area are likely to be audible within the bounds of the nearest residential properties, but within the noise limits set for the site. Staff arrivals and the drop-off times are likely to coincide with the local 'peak hour' for local vehicle movement.

Noise Emissions - Internal

Noise measurements of children inside an operating "play centre" have previously been obtained as a guide to potential internal noise levels. These measurements were obtained with young children allowed to play freely, unconstrained with only minimal supervision.

The children were generally at a distance of between 2 and 5 metres from the measuring instrument.

The "play .centre" noise levels would be akin to those that could normally be expected to be encountered INSIDE a child care centre during noisier activities.

The measurements obtained were analysed on a one-third-octave band centre-frequency basis to assess potential noise emission tonality.

The spectrums obtained were found to be non-tonal, according to the recognised procedure set down by the EPA.

The following noise levels have been compared against values that have been published in the scientific journals, and found to be in reasonably good agreement.

These results are summarised, on an octave band basis.

Table 4 - Measured Sound Pressure Levels of Unrestrained Young Children at Play

The LAoi,15 min noise levels occur for nine seconds or less, in each 15 minute period. Even the LA1o,15min noise levels only occur for 90 seconds in each 15 minute period.

The measurements in Table 4 were taken within a play room where children were permitted to play, without close supervision.

These are provided as background information only.

These noise levels are likely to occur occasionally inside the internal activity rooms, within the childcare centre building.

These noise levels are NOT likely to occur outside in the external activity areas of the childcare centre, due to the level of professional supervision required.

In accordance with current trends in noise assessment, the assessment is carried out on a LAeq,15min basis, utilising a LAeq noise level of 73 dB(A), as the general internal reverberant sound level.

Calculated Noise Emissions from Inside the Building

The wall construction of the building is indicated as brick or brick veneer with an estimated Rw rating of 45 dB.

The roof construction of the bui lding is indicated as profiled metal deck roofing over a plasterboard ceiling with an estimated Rw rating of 38 dB.

The child care centre has four (4) internal activity areas.

The appropriate noise limit would be a LAeq,lSmin of 48 dB(A} beyond the residential boundaries.

On the south western side of the Child care Centre is the Infant's Room w ith two (2) windows faci ng the boundary. Sliding glass door faces south-east toward t he rear fence.

Along the boundary w ith No. 3A Aeolus Avenue residence, the predicted LAeq noise levels would be 52 dB(A) [windows & doors open] rising to 54 dB(A) at the rear of the child care centre. With only the rear door open, the level would be 33 dB(A) along the side with the predicted LAeq noise level rising to 49 dB(A) if t he rear door is open.

At the rear corner of the No. 3A Aeolus Avenue residence, the predicted LAeq noise levels would be 42 dB(A) [windows & doors open]. If the cot room window was open, it would be 44 dB(A).

The appropriate noise limit would be a LAeq,1Smin of 48 dB(A} beyond the residential boundaries. The actual noise levels (windows closed} are likely to be even less than predicted as the glazing is likely to be heavier than used in the acoustic calculations. A base level of Rw 23 dB was used equation to 3 to 4 mm thick glass. ·

The noise emissions via the rear door to the boundary would be less than 48 dB(A} within a metre or two beyond the boundary.

On the north eastern side of t he Child care Centre are the two (2) the Toddler's Rooms with six (6) windows facing the boundary. Two (2) windows face toward t he rear fence.

Along the boundary with No. 7 Aeolus Avenue residence, the predicted LA,q noise levels would be 54 dB(A) [windows & doors open] & 34 dB(A) [windows & doors closed] dropping . At the rear if the door is opened, the predicted LAeq noise level j umps to 44 dB(A) to the boundary.

Along the side boundary facing facades of the residences at No. 7 Aeolus Avenue residence, the predicted LAeq noise levels would be 48 dB(A) [windows & doors open] & 28 dB(A) [windows & doors closed].

The last residence at No. 7 Aeolus Avenue is next to the boundary, th e predicted LAeq noise levels would be 54 dB(A) [windows & doors open], 45 dB(A) with on ly the rear door open and 35 dB(A) with all closed

The appropriate noise limit would be a LAeq,lSmin of 48 dB(A} beyond tl)e residential boundaries. These windows will either need to be closed at all times or of fixed glazing. The actual noise levels (windows closed} are likely to be even less than predicted as the glazing is likely to be heavier than used in the acoustic calculations. A base level of Rw 23 dB was used equation to 3 to 4 mm thick glass.

The last internal activity area is the Pre-schooler's Room located upstairs at the front of the building with two (2) windows and a sliding glass door facing the road, and one (1) window on each side.

Above the boundary, on each side, the predicted LAeq noise level would be 47 dB(A) [windows & doors open] forward of the front facade, and 45 dB(A) [windows & doors open] passed the front facade

To the residences at No. 7, the predicted LAeq noise level would be 43 dB(A) [windows & doors open] forward of the front facade, and 40 dB(A) [windows & doors open] passed the front facade

To the residence at No. 3A, the predicted LAeq noise level would be 44 dB(A) [windows & doors open] forward of the front facade, and 43 dB(A) [windows & doors open] passed the front facade

With only the front door open, the predicted LAeq noise level would be 42 dB(A) forward of the front facade, and 33 dB(A) passed the front facade above the boundary.

The appropriate noise limit would be a LAeq,1smin of 48 dB(A) beyond the residential boundaries. Even with the doors & windows open the criteria is not exceeded.

External Noise Emissions

Although no justification has ever been provided for the following sound power levels, we are required to utilise the sound power levels promulgated by the Association of Australian Acoustical Consultants (AAAC), a sub-group of the consulting profession.

The promulgated AAAC sound power levels are:

• 10 children of Oto 2 years (infants) produce a sound power level of 77 to 80 dB(A), ·

• 10 children of 2 to 3 years (toddlers) produce a sound power level of 83 to 87 dB(A), and

• 10 children of 3 to 6 years (pre-schoolers) produce a sound power level of 84 to 90 dB(A).

Based on sound levels that I have measured myself in a well-run childcare centre, the AAAC values appear to be quite conservative and based on LAmax noise levels, rather than LAeq,lSmln values that are required for the assessment.

These Association of Australian Acoustical Consultants values have been oft quoted in the Land & Environment Court without qualification of LAmax or LAeq,ismrn parameter.

Due to acceptance by the Land & Environment Court (without qualification) 'these values must be used for assessment purposes.

External Noise Levels - External Activity Areas

As I understand, it is not normal practice to mix significantly different age groups.

There are also time restrictions on the use of the external areas.

• October to March (inclusive) outdoor activities are restricted between 11:00 am and 3:00 pm (daylight saving time) and sun protection is required at all times.

• April to September (inclusive) outdoor activities is acceptable at any time, but sun protection is required betwee,:i 10:00 am and 2:00 pm (except in June & July).

The four (4) internal activity areas that have:

• Sixteen {16) 'infants' (0 to 2 years)

• Sixteen (16) 'toddlers' (2 to 3 years)

• Thirty (30) 'toddlers' (2 to 3 years)

• Fourteen (14) 'pre-schoolers' {3 to 6 years)


9


The external activity area (between the rear of the child care centre and the rear boundary) is to be used by the 'toddlers' (with each room outside at a different time), and separately, by the 'pre-schoolers'.

Adjusting the sound power levels, 16 'toddlers' would have a total sound power level of 89 dB(A), 30 'toddlers' would have a total sound power level of 92 dB(A), and if both 'toddler' groups were outside at the same t ime, the combined sound power level would be 94 dB(A).

Adjusting the sound power levels, 14 'pre-schoolers' would have a total sound power level of 92 dB(A).

The external activity area is essentially an area about 20 metres by 21 metres at the rear of the site. I have assumed that fence height will be limited to 2.7 metres.

There are several potentially affected residences.

Across the south west boundary, No. 38 Aeolus Avenue, there is a double storey about 21.5 metres from the side boundary of the child care centre.

At No. 47 Wolger Road, there is a split level residence about 23 metres at an angle to the rear corner.

Across the south west boundary, No. 3A Aeolus Avenue, the rear of the single storey residence is set back about 2 metres from the side boundary and about 20 metres from the external activity area.

Assuming, there are no more than 30 toddlers (or 14 pre-schoolers) outside at the same time, the sound pressure level from the external activity area would be less than 48 dB(A) at these residences, provided the fence has a height of at least 2. 7 metres.

The closest potentially affected residence is a single storey unit immediately adjacent to the corner of the external activity area.

Across the north-east boundary, the closest No. 7 Aeolus Avenue residence is single storey and is set back about 1.5 metres from the boundary and overlaps the external activity area by about 2 metres.

Assuming, there are no more than 30 toddlers (or 14 pre-schoolers) outside at the same time, the sound pressure level from the external activity area wquld be about 48 dB(A) at this residence provided the fence has a height of at least 2. 7 metres.

There are a couple of other potentially affected two-storey residences.

Across the north-east boundary, No. 49 & 498 Wolger Road, a !:louble storey dual occupancy residence has upper lever set back about 12 metres from the boundary, and lower level set back about 8 metres from the boundary.

Assuming, there are no more than 30 toddlers (or 14 p_re-schoolers) outside at the same time, the sound pressure level from the external activity area would be about 55 dB{A) at the upper level of this residence.

This exceeds the criteria by 7 dB(A).

The criteria could be achieved if the barrier were raised from 2.7 metres to 3.6 metres, along the north-eastern side boundary and across the south-eastern rear boundary of the external activity area

An alternative might be to offer to increase the Rw rating of the rear-facing upper level windows by 7 dB. Assuming a standard suburban type window construction, this would indicate an offer of windows with an Rw rating of 30 to 33 dB.

The other area to consider is the external deck area off the rear of the building for the 'infant'. This deck area is 6.4 metres wide by 12 metres. The floor-to-ceiling height is 2.7 metres.


IO


Although the internal activity area is for sixteen (16) infants, the deck provide·s an occupancy capacity of ten (10) infants.

With carer to child ratio of 1:4, this suggests 4 groups of 4 infants, this would indicate two groups of four (4) infants on the deck at any one time, with a total sound power level of 79 dB(A) in the deck area.

Assuming a hard floor & ceiling, and railing height of 1.2 metres (glass, acrylic or similar), the reverberant sound pressure level would be 73 dB(A) with the sound pressure level falling below 48 dB(A) at a distance of about 12.5 metres.

Assuming a hard floor & acoustic ceiling (surface fixed acoustic tiles), and rai ling height of 1.2 metres (glass, acrylic or similar), the reverberant sound pressure level would be 61 dB(A) with the sound pressure level falling below 48 dB(A) at a distance of about 3.5 metres.

There latter (with acoustic ceiling) would achieve the criteria within the bounds the rear yard area of No. 3A Aeolus Avenue.

Noise Intrusions & Rw Rating

The LAeq,T internal noise intrusion limit should be 40 dB(A), with a LAmax noise limit of 55 dB(A). The LAeq,T

internal noise intrusion limit should be 30 dB(A) in the cot room.

The road traffic noise was an LAeq,lSmln of 61 dB(A) with LAmax noise levels of 76 dB(A) at the front boundary.

On the north-east side there is a cot room at 23 metres from the cent re line of the road, hence external LAeq,lSmin noise levels would be 54 dB(A) with LAmax noise levels of 69 dB(A).

On the south-west side there is a cot room at 35 metres from the centre line of the road, hence external LAeq,lSmln noise levels would be 53 dB(A) with LAmax noise levels of 65 dB(A).

Internal noise levels within the internal activity areas can be achieved, for 'nap time', by keeping the closed windows closed and simply closing the doors.

Internal noise levels within the cot rooms can be achieved by making those windows facing the Aeolus Avenue to have an Rw rating of 33 dB. On the south-western side cot room, this will also address the noise of vehicles entering and leaving the car park.

Recommendations

I would recommend that the external activity area have a noise barrier of 2.7 metres high, above the natural ground height around the external activity area.

I would recommend this barrier (top section transparent) extend across the full width of the rear boundary, back along both sides of the external activity area to the rear facade of the building, with returns to the side faces of the building.

It is typical in most suburban areas for fences to be of 1.8 metres in height for 'visual amenity.

Where a noise barrier is required to a height of 2.7 metres, the option is that the lower 1.8 metres be opaque, and the top 900 mm could be transparent.

The lower 1.8 metres could be colorbond style fencing (close f itting to the ground, lapped & capped wood paling fencing, or masonry type fencing.

The top 900 mm be transparent, constructed out of glass or acrylic with base rail, side supports, but no top rail. This approach minimises its visual impact.

For any noise barriers of 2. 7 metres or less, the barrier only requires an Rw rating of 25 dB.

I would recommend that the elevated deck be acoustically treated by lining of the ceiling with downward facing acoustic tiles with a minimum NRC rating of 0. 75.

I would recommend that the windows on the Ground Floor level either be fixed glazing or that these windows be kept closed at all times that the centre is operating. ·

I would recommend that the rear door off the 'infants' room and the rear door off the 'toddlers' room be opened only for entry into, and exit from, those spaces.

I would recommend that the cot room windows facing Aeolus Avenue be fitted with windows having a minimum Rw of 33 dB.

Air Conditioning/ Ventilation Noise Emissions

No indication has been provided for the siting of air conditioning equipment or of any mechanical ventilation systems. Should any external air conditioning condenser units be required, they should be located so as not to exceed Council requirements.

Condenser units should not be located along the north-eastern or south-western sides of the child care centre building. A roof top location, or a ground level location at the front of the building, or a wall mounted location at the rear of the building, could be considered. Alternatively, the unit(s) might be installed with the enclosed car park.

In discussions that I have had with air conditioner condenser unit manufacturers, they have indicated that the indoor & outdoor units can be separated by as much as 50 metres providing the connecting pipes are insulated, so the location of the external unit is not limited being immediately adjacent to the indoor unit. · ·

According to the NSW Protection of Environment (Noise Control) Regulations (March 2008), air conditioner noise emissions must not be audible in habitable rooms of any other residence between 10:00 p.m. at night and 7:00 a.m. in the morning. Any air conditioning units (if installed) should only be run during business hours.

Any air conditioning or ventilation unit(s) would need to be assessed for their acoustic impact, prior to installation.

This aspect would normally be addressed by a Consent Condition requiring 'mechanical noise emissions' and 'air condition unit noise emissions' to comply with 'background plus 5 dB(A)'.

Noise Management Plan

Each childcare centre should have a Noise Management Plan wherever there is a potential to cause disturbance to neighbours. An example Noise Management Plan is attached as Appendix A.

Conclusions

Site criterion was established by measuring local environmental noise level in-line with the NSW Industrial Noise Policy. The underlying LAeq,lSmin of the area was extracted by examining noise levels between passing vehicles.

Based on calculation, compliance to the acoustic criteria can be achieved by the installation of a 2.7 metre height noise barrier along sides & rear boundaries of external activity area (for most locations).

Based on calculation, compliance to the acoustic criteria can be achieved by keeping the windows closed when the children are inside, and only opening the doors from the internal activity areas for accessing the external activity area.


12

· BGMA Pty Ltd - Acoustical Consultants

Generally, the doors would be closed for weather protection and to retain the children wit hin the internal activity areas.

The most significant noise emissions are most likely only to occur until after about 8:00 am, and not early in the morning. Similarly, they are not likely to occur late in the afternoon.

The most significant source would be from the external activity areas. The chi ldren would generally be outside, the mid-morning and mid-afternoon. These times will vary depend ing on weather conditions and UV readings. The children are likely to be audible at times, but within the indicated noise limits.

It has been my experience that the noise emissions from the external activity rooms are dependent on the level & type of supervision. ·

When the children are engaged in small group activities, they tend to be quieter. If the children are encouraged to run and engage in boisterous play, or where there is little supervision, they tend to quite loud.

Child Care Centres tend to be a very controlled environment, unlike "play centres" or "school playgrounds" where supervision is minimal.

Achieving compliance to the upper level of No. 49 & 49B Wolger Road will be quite difficult.

A noise barrier with a height of 2.7 metres will not be sufficient. If a barrier was considered the only option then a barrier with a height of 3.6 metres would be required to achieve compliance.

If the rear facing windows of the upper level rooms (of these residences) were bedrooms and only in use during the night time period, then they would not be adversely affected by the daytime noise emissions. If the rear facing windows of the upper level rooms (of these residences) on rooms in use during the day, then consideration might be given to offering upgraded windows and air conditioning of these spaces.

It is the opinion of BGMA Pty Ltd that if the issue of the Wolger Road residences can be resolved, then this current design can achieve Council's noise emission criteria to all other surrounding residences.

APPENDIX A

NOISE MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR CHILD CARE CENTRE

The child care centre should not become a source of 'offensive noise' impacting adversely on the acoustic amenity of neighbouring businesses.

Staff and parents and/ or guardians can assist the centre in being a 'good neighbour' by following some simple procedures when arriving at and leaving the centre.

Parents and / or Guardians

Parents and/ or guardians "dropping off" or "picking up" children are requested drive slowly, when entering or leaving the site. This will also assist in child safety within the car park area.

Parents and / or guardians are requested to refrain from using vehicle horns, except in an emergency

On arrival and departure, parents and/ or guardians are requested to refrain fr.om slamming of car doors.

Older children should not be left to play unattended within the car park area, but should accompany their parent or guardian into the centre.

Parents and/ or guardians are requested not to linger conversing within the car park area.

Parents and/ or guardians are requested to enter and leave the premises in a quiet and orderly manner.

As a reminder, a notice is installed in the entrance foyer requesting all parents and/ or guardians to have consideration for the external Quiet Amenity of the Area

Non-compliance with these requirements may result in the removal of the child from the centre.

Children

Time out of doors is an essential component of the child's experience of the Centre.

Whilst active play is encouraged, screaming and shouting are not. This type of behaviour can be intimidating to other children, and can be disturbing to neighbours.

Children who persist in such behaviour may need to be excluded from outdoor activities.

A crying or distressed child will be attended to immediately (without delay). The child will be taken inside to be comforted, and to be assessed for any injury, or other cause of distress.

When child re~ are outside, each group will be fully supervised by the required number of teachers/ carers per group, at all times.

Musical instruments likely to generate excessive noise will not be permitted in the outdoor area.

Each age group (toddlers; pre-schoolers) will be separate.

Staff

Centre management of the centre recognise the importance of ensuring all staff members are properly trained. In-house training will include familiarisation with the procedures and requirements set out in the Noise Management Plan.

Activities in the external play area have the potential to disturb the Quiet Amenity of the local businesses through excessive noise generated in external activity areas.

Acoustic screening has been provided to protect immediate neighbours from external play area noise, but supervision of the children within the external play area is also an essential component of the noise strategy.

Recent graduates and relieving teachers (who may lack experience in the operation of the centre) will be supervised by permanent staff members.

Staff will be instructed to engage the children in educationa l play activities that the children w ill find both mentally and physically stimu lating, at all times.

A member firm of th e National Council of Acoustical Consultants Principal - Brian Marston CPEng MAAS MASA MIEAust

14

BGMA Pty Ltd-Acoustical Consultants

Staff will be instructed to refrain from encouraging outdoor activities that may result in excessively noisy play in these external activity areas.

All temporary & permanent staff will be required to read the Noise Management Plan before starting work and to comply with it at all times.

Staff should remember that the boundary fences are not part of the play equipment.

Staff will be instructed to discourage activities that impact upon the fences surrounding the external activity area and children should be discouraged from hitting or throwing any objects that will impact upon the surrounding fences.

Management

Centre management will maintain a Log of any, and all, noise complaints received. Any complaints received shall be logged with details of the nature of the complaint, time of the event and contact details of the complainant.

Centre management will endeavour to respond to any noise complaint as quickly as possible, and will advised the complainant within 48 hours of what, if any, actions have been undertaken as a result of reviewing the complaint. These actions will be recorded in the Log.

The Log will be located in the Manager's office and will be accessible to Council at any time within normal operating hours.

Centre management will provide Council and the occupants of all adjacent resrdents with name(s) and contact details (phone number) of designated person (or persons) responsible for the addressing noise complaints.

At least one designated responsible person shall be available on site at all times-during operational hours.

Centre management will provide Council, and occupants of all adjacent premises with a Schedule of Summer & Winter External Play Times.

A laminated copy of the Noise Management Plan will be displayed in the entry foyer.

All staff (temporary and permanent) will be required to read the Noise Management Plan.

All parents/ guardians will be required to read the section of the Noise Management Plan relating to Parents and Children.

Continued attendance at the Centre will be contingent on the parent and / or guardian abiding by the requirements of the Noise Management Plan.

Local residents will be encouraged to visit and observe the operation of the Centre. Any such visit will need to comply with the NSW Department of Education & Communities guidelines and accompanied by an Authorised Supervisor of the centre.

Should noise complaints persist, the Centre will engage the services of a recognised Acoustical Consultant (being a full & current member of the Australian Acoustical Society) to monitor noise levels and provide advice on any additional noise mitigation measures (if required). Such a reporting will form part of the Log and be freely available to Council and to the Complainant.

Attended noise monitoring may require access to the complainant premises.

Investigation of any noise complaint requiring the services of a recognised Acoustical Consultant will be contingent on this permission being given.

Complainants should be made aware that this will be a requirement of the investigation.

Centre Management is committed to being a responsible and good neighbour to loca l businesses.

1 INTRODUCTION



SLR Consulting Australia Pty Ltd (SLR) has been commissioned by Peter Hall Architects Pty Ltd (PHA) to provide an Air Quality Assessment for a proposed child care centre to be located at 5 Aeolus Avenue, Ryde (the Development Site).

This report has been prepared to inform the Development Application (DA) to be submitted to the City of Ryde (the Council). The DA is for construction of a double storey building with underground parking, to be used as a long day care centre.

The aim of this report is to assess the potential air quality impacts due to existing sources of air pollution in the vicinity of proposed Development Site. A qualitative desktop assessment is presented with a broad discussion around potential air quality impacts and building design considerations to mitigate any residual impacts.

This air quality assessment report has been prepared with reference to:

• Ryde Local Environmental Plan 2014 (RLEP 2014);

• Ryde Development Control Plan 2014 for Child Care Centres; and

• The NSW Department of Planning and Environment (OPE) "Development near Rail Corridors and Busy Roads" technical guideline (interim) (DoP 2008).

4 IDENTIFIED AIR POLLUTANT SOURCES AND TYPES

Potential sources of air emissions in the area are identified to be:



• Operations at the Ryde water storage facility (Hermitage. Reservoir No.2); and

• Emissions from road traffic on Blaxland Road and Aeolus Avenue.

In addition to these identified potential air emission sources in the local area, it is noted that the quality of air experienced at the Development Site will be influenced by regional background levels of air pollutants . .

4.1 Hermitage Reservoir No.2

Hermitage Reservoir No.2 is located 370 metres (m) northwest of the proposed Development Site, on the corner of Blaxland Road and Reservoir Lane (see Figure 2).

The Ryde Water Supply System is a significant part of the water supply system to northern Sydney. An overview of the Sydney Water Supply System is shown in Figure 3. The Ryde Water Supply System receives water from the Prospect Water Filtratior:i Plant before it is supplied to homes and businesses in the area. The water is temporarily stored in large water storage tanks at Hermitage Reservoir No.2, which are visible from Blaxland Road (see Figure 4). No water treatment activities are undertaken at Hermitage Reservoir No.2.

Given that the activities undertaken at Hermitage Reservoir No.2 do not include water treatment or fuel combustion (e.g. in boilers, generators etc), it is not expected to be a significant source of air pollutant or odour emissions. ·

Based on the above, air emissions from Hermitage Reservoir No.2 are not considered to be a constraint to the Development Site and it has not been considered further.

4.2 Blaxland Road and Aeolus Avenue

The Development Site is located approximately 140 m from Blaxland Road, which is designated a Classified Road (refer Figure 2). The NSW State Roads Act 1986 No. 85 defines a 'Classified Road' · as a main road, a secondary road , a state highway, a tourist road, a state work, a freeway or a controlled access road.

There are a total of four lanes on Blaxland Road closest to the Development Site, out of which two are southeast-bound and two are northwest-bound, as shown in Figure 5. The 2017 traffic volume on the corner of Blaxland Road and Epping Road, as recorded approximately 4 km east 9f the Development Site (counting station ID 74453), was 56,-101 vehicles per.day (Annual Average Daily T_raffic [AADT], sourced from RMS Traffic Volume Viewer 1).

Aeolus Avenue is a residential street located within a Low Density Residential zone (refer Figure 2) . A view of Aeolus Avenue outside the Development Site is shown in Figure 6. There is no traffic data available for Aeolus Avenue, but because of the residential nature of the street, it is expected to be significantly lower than that of Blaxland Road.

A review of the National Pollutant Inventory Emission Estimation Technique Manual (NPI EET) for Combustion Engines (DEWHA 2008) identifies the primary pollutants from combustion engines as:

• Total Volati le Organic Compounds (TVOCs).

• Carbon monoxide (CO).

• Oxides of nitrogen (NOx)-

• Particulate matter less than 2.5 µm in aerodynamic diameter (PM2.5).

• Particulate matter less than 10 µm in aerodynamic diameter (PM10).

• Sulfur dioxide (SO2).

Other substances are also emitted in trace amounts as products of incomplete combustion, such as metallic additives which contribute to the particulate content of the exhaust (DEWHA 2008).

The rate and composition of air pollutant emissions from vehicles is a function of a number of factors, including the type, size and age of vehicles within the fleet, the type of fuel combusted, number and speed of vehicles and the road gradient.

Blaxland Road and Aeolus Avenue are separated by the North Road, with high rise residential buildings located on the corner. These buildings will act as an obstructibn, which would minimise the potential for any direct 'channelling' of air emissions from Blaxland Road towards the Development Site.

Based on the above, and given the distance between Blaxland Road and the Development Site, air emissions from Blaxland Road and Aeolus Ave are not considered to be a constraint to the Development Site.

5 REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS

5.1 Child Care Centres Development Control Plan 2014



The Council 's Development Control Plan (DCP) 2014 provides guidelines, objectives and controls for various types of developments within the City of Ryde. The DCP is to be read in conjunction with the Ryde Local Environmental Plan 2014 and any relevant State and Regional Environmental Planning policies.

Part 3.2 of the DCP provides detailed provisions relating to all developments associated with the establishment, operation and expansion of child care centres, including construction of new purpose built child care centres.

Section 2.1.2 of Part 3.2 of the DCP lists the controls required to meet site selection criteria regarding proximity to environmental hazards, including traffic, noise, odours, air quality, electromagnetic radiation, chemical contaminants etc, to ensure that child care centres are located in areas of high environmental quality (both existing and future quality). The controls and issues relevant to air quality impacts that are to be considered when assessing the suitability of a site for use as a child care centre are listed below:

• Pollution created by car and other vehicle fumes (from high traffic volumes such as on arterial, sub arterial and collector roads);

• Proximity to service stations;

• Proximity to significant noise, odour and other pollutant generating s.ources, or sites which (due to prevailing land use zoning) may in future accommodate noise or odour generating uses;

• Any other identified environmental hazard or risk relevant to the site and/ or existing buildings within the site; ·

• Where sites are proposed within 125 m of arterial roads, air quality monitoring and soil quality testing will be required to determine toxicity levels; and

• The site is not to be in a location likely to be affected by emissions of dust, fumes, noise, nor by frequent truck movements. This especially applies in proximity to industrial and business uses.

5.2 Development Near Rail Corridors and Busy Roads

The NSW Infrastructure State Environmental Planning Policies (SEPP) refer to guidelines which must be taken into account where development is proposed in, or adjacent to, specific roads and railway corridors under clause 85 - Development adjacent to Rail Corridors and clause 101 - Development with Frontage to a Classified Road 2.

More specifically, reference is made to the NSW Department of Planning document "Development Near Rail Corridors and Busy Roads - Interim Guideline" (DoP 2008) (the Guideline) which supports the specific rail and road provisions of the Infrastructure SEPP. An aim of the Guideline is to assist in reducing the health impacts of adverse air quality from road and rail traffic on sensitive adjacent development and assists in the planning, design and assessment of development in , or adjacent to busy roads (DoP 2008).

2 The NSW State Roads Act 1986 No. 85 defines 'Classified Road' as a main road , a secondary road , a state highway, a tourist road, a state work, a freeway or a controlled access road.





Section 4.4 of the guideline provides the following guidan_ce on when air quality should be a design consideration and some of the principles that should be considered at the design stage to achieve improved air quality:

Source: DoP 2008

In relation to the siting of the child care centres, Section 2.4.2 of the Guideline states:

"Strategic site selection from perspective of road and rail corridors for schools and Child care centres is particularly important as young peoples are generally more sensitive to the effects . of noise and adverse air quality than adults. •

In addition, very young children and babies are more sensitive to these effects than older children. The Child care day often extends beyond the typical school day to include both morning and afternoon peak hour traffic, making Child care centres particularly vulnerable to adverse noise and air quality effects.

Where new schools and Child care centres are being considered, the design should ensure that there is sufficient separation from 'busy' roads and rail ·corridors to avoid adverse noise and air quality impacts."

6 LOCAL METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS

Local wind speed and direction influence the dispersion of air pollutants. Wind speed determines both the distance of downwind tra·nsport and the rate of dilution as a result of 'plume' stretching. Wind direction, and the variability in wind direction, determines the general path pollutants will follow and the extent of crosswind spreading. Surface roughness (characterised by features such as the topography of the land and the presence of buildings, structures and tr~es) will also influence di.spersion.

The Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) maintains and publishes data from weather stations across Australia. The closest such station to the Project Site is the Sydney Olympic Par~ (Archery Centre) Automatic Weather Station (AWS), which is located approximately 4:5 km ~o the southwest of the Development Site, and records wind speed and wind direction. Considering the proximity of Development Site to the Sydney Olympic Park (Archery Centre) AWS, it may be assumed that the wind conditions recorded at the Sydney Olympic Park (Archery Centre) AWS are a reasonable representation of the wind conditions experi~nced at the Development Site.

Annual wind roses for the years 2012 to 2016 compiled from data recorded by the AWS at Sydney Olympic Park (Archery Centre) during 2016 are presented in Figure 7, with seasonal wind roses for 2016 presented in Figure 8. Wind roses show the frequency of occurrence of winds by direction and strength. The bars correspond to the 16 compass points (degrees from North). The bar at the top of each wind rose diagram represents winds blowing from the north (i.e. northerly winds), and so on. The length. of the bar represents the frequency of occurrence of winds from that direction, and the widths of the bar sections correspond to wind speed categories, the narrowest representing the lightest winds. Thus it is possible to visualise how often winds of a certain direction and strength occur · over a long period, either for all hours of the day, or for particular periods .during the day.

The following description of wind speeds at the Development Site references the Beaufort Wind Scale, as outlined in Table 1. Use of the Beaufort Wind Scale is consistent with terminology used by the BoM.

The annual wind roses for the years 2012 to 2016 (Figure 7) indicate tha.t predominant wind directions in the area are consistently from the west-northwest and northwest directions. Very low frequencies of winds from the northerly and southerly directions were recorded across all years. The annual frequency of calm wind conditions was recorded to be approximately. 10%-11 % for all the years between 2012 and 2016.

Winds from the southwest and west directions, which would blow air emissions from Blaxland Road towards the Development Site, occur approximately 15% of the time.

The seasonal wirid roses for the year 2016 (Figure 8) indicate that:



• In summer, wind speeds ranged from light to fresh winds (between 0.5 m/s and 8.2 m/s). The majority of winds blew from the east and south-southeast, with very few winds from west and north. Calm wind conditions were observed to occur approximately 10% of the time during summer.

• In autumn, wind speeds ranged from light to moderate winds (between 0.5 m/s and 9.1 mis). The majority of winds blew from between the west and northwest, with very few winds from the north direction. Calm wind conditions were observed to occur approximately 15% of the time during autumn.

• In winter, wind speeds ranged from light to fresh winds (between 0.5 m/s and 8.6 m/s). The majority of winds blow from between west and northwest directions, with very few winds from the east. Calm wind conditions were observed to occur approximately 12% of the time during winter.

• In spring, wind speeds ranged from light to fresh winds (between 0.5 m/s and 9.9 m/s). The majority of winds blew from between west-northwest and northwest directions. Calm wind conditions were observed to occur approximately 8% of the time during spring.

Overall, the seasonal windroses indicate that winds that would blow emissions from Blaxland Road towards the Development Site occur rarely during summer, and are more likely to occur during winter and spring. Light wind conditions during winter, which would most likely be associated with poorly dispersive conditions, predominantly blow from the west-northwest and northwest. These winds would have potential to blow emissions from Aeolus Avenue towards the Development Site, but very limited potential to blow emissions from Blaxland Road towards the Development Site. Given the low traffic numbers anticipated on Aeolus Avenue, this would not be expected to significantly affect air quality at the Development Site.

7 AIR QUALITY ASSESSMENT

As discussed in Section 1, the Development Site is proposed to consist of a double storey building with underground parking. The proposed floor and elevation plans of the Development Site are shown in Appendix A.

An assessment of the proposed development addressing the controls and requirements set out the Council's Development Control Plan (DCP) 2014 for Child Care Centres is shown in Table 2.

Table 2 Assessment of Requirements Listed in the Child Care Centre Development Control Plan 2014

Air Quality Assessment Requirements -Child Care Centres DCP 2014

(e) (i). Pollution created by car and other vehicle fumes (from high traffic volumes such as on arterial, sub arterial and collector roads);

(e) (vi). Proximity to service stations

(e) (viii). Proximity to significant noise, odour and other pollutant generating sources, or sites which (due to prevailing land use zoning) may in future accommodate noise or odour generating uses;

(e) (xii). Any other identified environmental hazard or risk relevant to the site and/ or existing buildings within the site.

(f) Where sites are proposed within 125 m of arterial roads, air quality monitoring and soil quality testing will be required to determine toxicity levels.

(h) The site is not to be in a location likely to be affected by emissions of dust, fumes, noise, nor by frequent truck movements. This especially applies in proximity to industrial and business uses.

Assessment

The nearest arterial roads (i.e. Blaxland Road and Lane Cove Roads) are located approximately 140 m and 480 m to the west and south of the Development Site.

The closest sub-arterial road (i.e. Ryde Road) is located approximately 2.8 km southeast of the Development Site.

The nearest collector road (i.e. Melville Street) is located approximately 200 m west of the Development Site.

As discussed in Section 7.1 and illustrated in Figure 9, air pollution levels at the Development Site due to these high volume traffic roads are anticipated to minimal.

The nearest service station is located on Epping Road, approximately 525 m southeast of the Development Site.

In lieu of any NSW-specific policy and guidance, reference has been made to Western Australia Environment Protection Authority (WA EPA) policy documentation for minimum recommended separation distances - Separation distances between Industrial and Sensitive Land Uses (WA EPA 2015).

For 24n service stations, involving vehicle cleaning/detailing facilities and the retailing of spare parts & foodstuffs , the minimum separation distance to mitigate impacts of gaseous, noise, odour and risk has been prescribed as 200 m.

No air quality impacts would therefore be expected at the proposed Development Site associated with air emissions from this service station.

No significant emissions to air are anticipated from Hermitage Reservoir No.2 (see Section 4.1).

None identified

The nearest arterial road (i.e. Blaxland Road) is located approximately 140 m west offhe Development Site. Air quality monitoring is therefore not required for the Development Site.

The Development Site is located on a residential street, and no industrial or commercial activities have been identified in the vicinity of the site with potential for adverse air quality impacts. Minimal (if any) truck movements are anticipated in the vicinity of the Development Site.



7.1 Traffic-Related Impacts

Report Number 610.17773-R02 · 6 February 2018


Considering the separation distance between Blaxland Road and Development Site (140 m), the relatively.low percentage of conducive westerly and southwesterly winds (-15%), and the presence of high rise buildings on the corner of Blaxland and North Roads, it is considered unlikely that any direct air impacts due to traffic on Blaxland Road will be experienced at the Development Site.

There are no traffic data available for Aeolus Avenue, however considering the residential nature of this street, the traffic volume is likely to be minimal when compared to Blaxland Road. As outlined in the Guideline (DoP 2008), air poll.utant concentrations from road traffic tend to ·decrease with increasing distance from the road. An indication of the relative decrease in pollutant concentrations with respect to the distance from the road is shown in Figure 9.

The distance between the kerbside of Aeolus Avenue and the nearest openable window on the ground floor of the Development Site is 10 m. According to the Guideline, pollutant concentrations would be at approximately 35% of the kerbside levels at these distances.

Notwithstanding the above, a number of design considerations are outlined within the Guideline in regards to air quality impacts. Those of relevance to this Project are presented in Table 3, along with comments as to how they have been incorporated into the Project design.

Table 3 Air Quality Design Considerations for the Development Site

Air Quality Design Considerations

Incorporating an appropriate separation distance between sensitive uses and the road using broad scale site planning principles such as building siting and orientation. The location of living areas, outdoor space and bedrooms and other sensitive uses (such as Child care centres) should be as far as practicable from the major source of air pollution.

Ventilation design and open-able windows should be considered in the design of development located adjacent to roadway emission sources. When the use of mechanical ventilation is proposed, the air intakes should be sited as far as practicable from the major source of air pollution.

Using vegetative screens, barriers or earth mounds where appropriate to assist in maintaining local ambient air amenity. Landscaping has the added benefit of improving aesthetics and minimising visual intrusion from an adjacent roadway.

Source: Section 4.4.2, DoP 2008

Development Site

The child care rooms and outdoor spaces are to be located towards the rear of the Development Site, and are therefore as far as possible from Aeolus Avenue (see Appendix A).

Openable windows on the ground floor are set back from the kerbside by at least 10 m (see Appendix A).

Alternative sources of natural ventilation are also provided along the northern and southern facades of the building.

All mechanical air intakes are proposed to be located as far away as practicable from the roadside:

There are some low height existing trees located at the Development Site, which are proposed to be retained.

In addition, new landscaping is proposed along the perimeter of the Development Site. At the time of writing this report, landscape plans are not available for the Development Site.

8 CONCLUSIONS



SLR was commissioned by PHA to provide an Air Quality Assessment for a proposed child care centre to be located at 5 Aeolus Avenue, Ryde (the Development Site).

This report has been prepared to inform the Development Application (DA) to be submitted to the City of Ryde. The DA is for construction of a double storey building with underground parking, to be used as a long day care centre.

The aim of this report was to assess the potential air quality impacts due to existing sources of air pollution in the vicin ity of proposed Development Site and to assess the development proposal against the Ryde Local Environment Plan, Child Care Centres Development Control Plan and relevant NSW Planning guidelines (Development Near Rail Corridors and Busy Roads).

It is concluded that:

• The existing sources of air emissions in the area (Blaxland Road, and Hermitage ReseNoir No.2) are unlikely to have any adverse air quality impact at the Development Site.

• The Development Site is located within a low density residential zone, in which child care centres are permitted to be built with consent.

• The recorded wind conditions (2012-2016) indicate that the prevailing winds in the area are consistently from the west-northwest and northwest directions. Winds from the west and westsouthwest directions, which would blow air emissions from Blaxland Road towards the Development Site, occur approximately 15% of the time.

• The setback of the openable windows of the Development Site from Aeolus Avenue is proposed to be 10 m at the closest point. Although minor air impacts are anticipated from Aeolus Avenue at this distance, because of the minimal traffic volumes expected on this road, no significant impacts on air quality would be expected.

• Where possible, retaining/establishing vegetative screening between the road and the child care centre building (including outdoor play areas), should be·considered as this would assist in further reducing the concentrations of any air pollutants experienced.

The NSW Air Quality Statement (OEH 2017), states

"During 2016 air quality in NSW was good by international standards. The Air Quality Index was in the 'very good', 'good' or 'fair' category for over 92% of the time in Sydney, 96% of the time in the lllawarra and South-west Slopes regions and close to 100% of the time in all other regions."

Also, at the NSW EPA's Clean Air Summit (2016), a number of measures were announced to implement tighter vehicle emission and fuel standards and for Government to adopt more stringent standards for purchasing and contracting of vehicles, with the aim of further reducing air impacts from on-road vehicles.

Given that the assessment of local air emission sources has concluded that they have a very low risk of resulting in any adverse impacts at the Development Site, and the generally good air quality in the Sydney region, air quality impacts are not considered to be a constraint to the development of a child care centre at the Development Site.

1. Introduction

The management plan has been prepared for the proposed Early Learning Centre(ELC) at 5

Aeolus street, Ryde. The ELC is designed to care for 66 children aged birth to six years. In

preparing this document consideration was give n to the requirements of:

• Australian Children's Education and Care Quality Authority (ACEQA)

• National Quality Framework(NQS)

• Education and care Services National Regulations 2013

• Education and care Services National Law 2013

• Ryde Councils Child Care Centers DCP 2014

2. Aim of the Early Learning Centre

The aim of the ELC is to meet the community demand for high Quality care that is intimate and

homely.

The aim is to meet and exceed the elements of the national quality framework which

Compromises the Education and Care Services National Law, the Education and care Service

National Regulations and the National Quality Standards.

The program will be centered for National Quality Framework and The Early years Learning

Framework. The Early Years Framework is a National Curriculum for 0-5 year old group.

Through play based learning and intentional teaching, the educates will be encouraged to

explore the learning outcomes specified in the early years learning framework with all their

children, planning for them individually and as a group. Parent involvement will be a key

aspect of the program.

The room Routines' will be adapted and set up once the educators has had the opportunity to

learn about the children in the groups, as the NQS Specifies that routines need to optimize

learning opportunities for individual children in the centre.

3. Maximum Number of Children

DECS provided a variable age group license which means the centre can cater for up to 66

children from 0-6 years old. however in practice the 0-2year olds age group require additional

support facilities such as a nappy change and bottle preparation area plus a cot room .

The centre has been designed to allow for up to 20 Infants.

Rooms will be appropriately set up to provide a homelike environment that allows the children

to engage in stimulating age appropriate activities. The number of children allocated in a room

will be designed in respect to education and care Services National Regulations 107(2) of

allowing 3.25 sq. meter unencumbered indoor space per child .

The Toddlers room will cater for 20 children allowing the infants to transition after turning 2

years of age through the year whist meeting the children developmental needs at all times.

The number of children allocated in a room will be designed in respect to education and care

Services National Regulations 107(2) of allowing 3.25 sq. meter unencumbered indoor space

per child. The toddlers room will nappy change faculties and a cot room .

The Prekindy and Preschool room will cater for 26 children . The number of children allocated

in a room will be designed in respect to education and care Services National Regulations

107(2) of allowing 3.25 sq. meter unencumbered indoor space per child.

The prekindy and preschool room will be able to be used for either age groups depending on the demand.

4. Hours of Operations

The Centre will operate from 7 am to 6 pm Monday to Friday. it will be closed on public

Holidays and operate 52 weeks per annum.

5. Staffing

Consistent and committed educators and coordinators support good quality standards and

continuity of care for children. Effective, transparent and equitable recruitment process will

ensure the service attracts and retains educators, co-coordinators and other staff members

who can be best meet the needs of children and their families.

Educators within the centre will be employed to ensure that minimum qualification

requirements are met through the employment of trained Educators within the centre also be

employed to ensure the minimum number of educator to children ratios set by the Educator

and care Services National regulations 2013 is also met ( see appendix 1 for table indicating

educator to children ratios). All Educators will maintain in qualifications and in first aid and

anaphylaxis, Child Protection and will remain in regular professional developmental

opportunities to meet the NQS standard 4.

All edcuatros must agree to follow the Code of Conduct /Code of Ethic that applies to

management, educators and coordination which clearly explains the responsibilities of all

parties in relation one another, to children and families using the service.

An Educational Leader will be appointed to guide and mentor all Educators with all aspects of

the program and certified supervisors approved by the Australian Children's Education and care

Quality Authority (ACECQA), will be in attendance at all times as per regulation 146.

A total of 13 educators will be employed consisting of 10 full time and 3 part time educators (

based on the need of the centre) to work five days per week.

The following table summarizes the employment detail of the educators that will be employed

6. The Curriculum

The program will be based on the National Early Learning Framework (EYLF) - Being, Belonging

and Becoming or Children's Services. The EYLF describes the principals, practice and outcomes

essential to support and enhance young children's learning from birth to five years of age.

the programs are developed in accordance with the National curriculum. the staff at the centre

will provide· developmental program for each age group and assist children in preparing for the

early years of their schooling and education. The children will be provided with high quality

educational programs that will incorporate indoor and outdoor play experiences.

The centers curriculum will revolve around play .We value the benefits of learning through play!

The play based learning program starts with our youngest babies, and prepares our children for

a lifetime of learning though a solid intellectual and social foundation.

At our centre we believe that a child's family input is an integral component to their overall

development. We aim to extend on children's experiences with a holistic approach. As such,

we will welcome family feedback and contribution in all forms. Each classroom will have an

email _address which provides open forum for families to share photos and gain up to date

information of what is currently happening at the centre. For all questions regarding

our preschool program parents will be encouraged to email the centre to book an information

session.

7. Laundry Facilities

The Centre Included laundry faculty operated by staff and used to wash and dry daily used face

cloths, bibs, dress ups. The laundry will have a lockable cupboard for storage of chemicals.

8. Staff Room

The staff room facility provided i are intended for use of educators while on their lunch breaks

as well as to provide a quality area for educators to work on documentation such as room

programming, children's portfolios and observations.

9. Waste Management

Centre staff and centre cleaners will remove the waste daily. waste will e laced in commercial

waste bins located in garbage room . These bins will be emptied using a commercial waste

collection services. a waste management plan has been lodged with this application.

10. Centre Hall for events

The Centre includes a hall for all in house event celebrations such as graduation, family days

and multicultural events as per the yearly updated calendar for children's services . The hall will

be used by children and educators of the centre through family grouping sessions.

11. Kitchen

The Centre includes a kitchen facility for a trained centre cook to prepare daily meals for the

children across all age groups.

12. Access and Security in the Care

Regulations 99 of the national Childcare regulations 2013 state that a child may only leave the

relevant premises if the child :

(a) is given into the care of

(I) a parent of the child; or

(ii) an authorised nominee named in the child's enrolment records, or

(iii) a person authorised by a parent or authorised nominee named in the child's record to

collect the child from the premises

(b) leaves the premises in accordance with the written authorization of the child's parent or

authorized nominee named in the child's enrolment for.

Security into the centre will require a system in place to ensure families have d direct access to

children and the rooms. Visitors will be attended by staff and encouraged to sign in /out

accordingly when at the centre. The centre will have a CCTV system as well as all smoke alarms

installed with emergency EXIT signs/ lights.

Educators will have direct supervision of all children at the centre at all times and sign in/out

record will be maintain through the day to identify the number of children in the service at all

times. all educators will ensure all children are signed out before closing daily.

13. Parking

There ore -----------car spaces will be provided to satisfy Ryde Councils care Centers DCP 2014.

the car park will be located under the centre allowing staff, parents and visitors to safely access

the car park daily . the childcare centre staff and the nominated supervisor will meet the

visitors prior to allocating any car spaces to them . we envisage the most of our staff to take

public transport due to the proximity effects. educator

Upon enrolment procedure each parent will undergo an orientation process to learn about the

centre safety futures and about other features . this will apply to all edcuatros starting new at

the centre as well.

14. Fire Evacuation Procedure

Prior to opening the centre a full fire evacuation procedure will be created and implemented

by a licensed and accredited fire expert. A fire evacuation plan will be placed around the centre

as per the experts guide. The plan and the procedure will be checked by DECS before a license

to operate the centre .

The centre will practice emergency drills every 3 months to ensure staff and children are

familiar with the procedure.

15. The Community

The centre location is such that relationship will be developed with local schools, sports clubs,

library and so on.

The NQS standards support the partnership with communities in QA6 . in most communities

the serve is one of a range of services that support families and children.

the centre will aim to encourage a wide community bond through learning incursions/

excursions as well as external I inclusion agencies when possible.

1. Introduction 1.1 Background

Land & Groundwater Consulting · Pty Ltd (LG) has been engaged by Peter Hall

Architects, on behalf of Ms Shoushan Navasardian to undertake a Preliminary

Envirqnmental Site Investigation (PESI) at the property identified as Lot 10 of Section

3 in Development Plan (DP) 7159, located at 5 Aeolus Avenue, Ryde, NSW (the site).

The site location plan is shown in Figure 1 attached.

LG understands that a development application (DA) has been submitted to City of

Ryde Council (Council) to re-develop the site. It is understood that re-development of

the site will comprise demolition of existing residential structures and construction a

new childcare centre. This PESI provides a summary of the historical land uses and a

preliminary characterisation of potential soil contamination at the site.

The Section 149 Certificate for the site obtained from Council indicates that the site is

zoned R2 Low Density Residential. A copy of the certificate is presented in

Appendix A.

The PESI was undertaken with respect to the staged investigation approach outlined in

State Environmental Planning Policy No. 55 - Remediation of Land (SEPP 55 - Ref 1)

and the National Environment Protection Council (NEPC) National Environment

Protection (Assessment of Site Contamination) Measure 1999 (amended 2013) (NEPC,

2013 - Ref 2).

This report was prepared in general accordance the NSW Office of Environment and

Heritage (OEH) "Guidelines (or Consultants Reporting on Contaminated Sites" (2011).

1.2 Objecti·ves

The specific objectives of the PESI are to:

• Identify potentially contaminating activities;

• Identify potential areas and contaminants of concern; and

• Identify potential contamination resulting from any past and/or present land uses.

Site Features At the time of inspection, the following site features were observed and

noted:

•

•

•

•

• •

•

• • •

•

The surface topography was sloping slightly down from north west to south east; A concreted paved driveway was observed at the entrance to _the property; A single-storey residential · brick building with tile roof was observed along the north-western portion of the site;· · A garage and storage brick build_ing were observed along the southern boundary fence; Grassed garden areas were noted at the front and back of the property; Matured trees and vegetation were· noted along the western portion of the site'; No signs of oil spill or stains were noted on the floor surfaces across the site; No rubbish or domestic waste was observed across the site; There were no active-pipelines; There were no above ground tanks (ASTs) or· visible evidence of underground storage tanks (USTs) or systems which should cause air emissions such as laboratories, incinerators, surface impoundment and land treatment areas; and Asbestos containing materials were not observed on the surfaces across the site during the inspection.

2.3 Surrounding Land Use ·

The surrounding land use is summarised as follows:

• The northern side of the site is bound by a residential townhouse development;

• The site is bound to the east by Adventure Park;

• The site is bound to ·the south by residential properties; and

• The western side of the site is .bound by Aeolus Avenue.

2.4 Topography

The ground surface at the site slopes from northwest to southeast. The ground surface

varies in elevations from approximately 80 m (Australian Height Datum) AHD in the·

vicinity of the south-eastern boundary of the site to approximately 83 m AHD in the

2.5 Geology and Hydrogeo~ogy

Geological information obtained from the Sydney 1: 100,000 Geological Series Sheet .., 9130 Edition 1, dated 1983, by the Geological Survey of New South Wales,

Department of Mineral Resources, indicates the site is located within an area underlain

by Triassic Age Ashfield Shale of the Wianamatta Group, denoted as Rwa. The Ashfield

Shale_ is described as black to dark grey shale and laminate.

Ashfield Shale typically weathers to lo.y permeability clays and it was anticipated that

this clay would be present at the site.

Hydrogeological conditions at the site are likely to be defined mainly by a shallow

aquifer system. This shallow system is likely to be a transient perche.d aquifer that

develops after heavy rainfall and lies above the underlying shale bedrock. It is likely

that the shallow aquifer is discontinuous and will be favourable in higher permeab~lity

areas, such as the areas of fill and easements· (i.e. stormwater easement). The . . groundwater in this system is unlikely to pose an off-site migration risk due to its

transient nature and the most likely contaminant source being from intermittent

spills/leaks from hear-surface infrastructure. Groundwater within the weathered shale

lithology would be anticipated to be saline, low in permeability ar:id not suitable for

domestic, agricultural or irrigation uses.

2.6 Acid Sulfate Soils

A review of the ASS risk maps prepared by Department of . Land and Water

Conservation (1997) 1 for Prospect/Parramatta River indicates the site· is located in an

area designated as "No Known Occurrence". Therefore, acid sulfate soils are n<?t

known or expected to occur in these areas. This map. defines that land management

activities are not likely to be affected by acid sulfate soil materials.

No indicators of acid sulfate soils were observed during the site inspection completed

on 15 January 2018.

3.5 NSW EPA Records

Search of the NSW EPA's public register under the Protection of the Environm·ent

Operations Act 1997 (POEO Act) was under·taken (Appendix E). The search for the

site identified there were :

• No prevention, clean-up or prohibition notices; and

• No transfer, variation, suspension, surrender or revocation of an environmental

protection licence.

A search was also conducted through the EPA's public contaminated land register

(Appendix E). The search did not identify any current or previous records of notices

by the EPA, or notification to the EPA under Section 60 of the Contaminated Land

Management Act 1997 (CLM Act.), in relation to the site or immediately surrounding

land.

3.6 Planning Certificate

A Section 149 Certificate for the site was obtained. by LG from Council on 16 January

2018. The certificate is presented in Appendix A. The Section 149 Certificate No.

PLN2018/0110, which is applicable to Lot 10 in DP. 7159, indicates that there are· no

matters arising under Section 59(2) of the Contaminated Land Management Act 1997

(Act).


LG1814.01 PESI Rpt 22-01 -18.docx

PAGE14


4. Potentially Sensitive Recept·ors Identified sensitiv·e receptors of contamination· potentially sourced from the site are as

follows :

• Shallow groundwater present in the fill materials (if any) and natural soils that

may be present on the site and deeper groundwater present in the underlying

bedrock;

• Surrounding industrial and/or commercia l land uses and residential dwellings,

which include access to soils for construction, gardening or potentially growing

vegetables;

•

•

•

Parks, recreational open space including the parks and playing fields within the

vicinity of the site;

Fauna and flora reserves in the area within the vicinity of the site;

Onsite workers: Persons who frequently work at or visit the site who mc!Y

potentially be exposed to contaminated soils and _water, particularly in unsealed

areas of the site;

• Sub-surface maintenance workers : Persons, such as workers or visitors to the site

or surrounding properties who have access to s9ils or groundwater; and

• Surface water bodies: The nearest surface water body is Buffalo Creek located

approximately 1.2 km southeast of the site.

5. Conclusions Based on the results of this PESI the following is concluded :

• Prior to the current layout the sit_e appeared to have comprised mainly vacant

crown land between 1790's and 1920's. Residential structures are likely to have

occupied the ~ite since sometime the late 1920's. Therefore, it is estimated tliat

the site has been in its current warehouse conf!g_uration for over 90 years. No

significant changes were observed on the site during this period;

• Given that no evident sources of mobile contamination could be visually identified

on site, it is considered that potential contaminants associated with past and

present land uses are minimal;

• The site condition and the past and current site activities described in this PESI

indicate a low potential for significa~t or gross contamination; and

• Based on the above findings the site subject to this PESI is suitable for the

proposed childcare and low residential land use, consistent with a R2 Low Density.

Residential zoning.

These conclusions are made within the limitations of the work, which has been

undertaken. A statement of these limitations is included in Section 7 of this report
