and the Environmental Protection (Noise) Policy 2019 (EPP Noise) to meet the environmental objective
and performance outcomes described below:
Environmental Objective
‘The activity will be operated in a way that protects the environmental values of the acoustic
environment.’
Performance Outcome
• Sound from the activity is not audible at a sensitive receptor, or
• The release of sound to the environment from the activity is managed so that adverse effects
on environmental values, including health and wellbeing and sensitive ecosystems, are
prevented or minimised.
6.5.1. Values
As the project is ramping up to production, existing noise contributions are limited to construction
activities, vehicle movements and ongoing operation of various pumps and aerators by the
DNRMMRRD. No known sources of vibration currently affect the local community.
The closest sensitive receptors are residences within the township of Mount Morgan as indicated on
Figure 48. The distance of the closest sensitive receptors from proposed activities under this
amendment is approximately 2100 m.
