A Noise Management Plan (NMP) is a document that demonstrates how environmental noise pollution will be managed for a particular site and any developments on the site. A NMP details how a proposal will comply with the Environment Protection Act 1986 (the Act), Environment Protection (Noise) Regulations 1997 (the Regulations) and other applicable standards and outlines measures to prevent, minimise or control noise impacts.
At a minimum a NMP should contain:
• An adequate description of the project, including background history or relevant previous studies, scope of work, noise/vibration issues addressed, hours of operation.
• Names and contact details (mobile phone number and email address);
• Details of the proposed work including:
A detailed site map that identified location of the proposed works;
Noise sources and noise receiver locations including existing and proposed residential premises;
Purpose of the work and details of activities to be conducted as part of the works; and
Details of the work schedule including dates, times and duration of the work;
• Details of activities or equipment to be used that may result in noise emissions;
• Relevant noise guidelines, policies or standards that have been applied;
• Details of any noise monitoring undertaken
• Predictions of potential noise emissions from the site;
• Proposed methods of noise and vibration monitoring during the works;
• Details of noise and vibration control measures to be implemented;
• Complaint recording and response procedures, including a copy of the Notice to Residents.
