4 SITE DESCRIPTION
The proposed development at 33-35 Stewart Street Richmond is a ten storey mixed use building, with internal
carparks on one basement level and ground floor, one retail tenancy on ground level, commercial tenancies
on Level 01 - Level 03, studio offices on Level 04 - Level 08, two penthouse apartments on Level 09, and
services located on the rooftop. Figure 4.1 shows the site location.

Figure 4.1 - Site location
The development site is bordered by mixed use/residential, commercial and industrial use buildings ranging
between 4 and 5 storeys to the North, East and West of the site. Immediately to the south of the site across
Stewart Street is the rail corridor servicing south and east suburbs. Richmond Station located approximately
50 meters to the west of the development site.
The rail corridor services Metro Electric Multiple Units (EMUs), V/Line locomotives and V/Line Diesel Multiple
Units (DMUs). Freight trains also operate along the corridor. As the V/Line and freight trains operate only on
the south-bound lines furthest from the development, greater peak noise levels are likely to originate from
EMUs operating along the east-bound lines.
5 NOISE MEASUREMENTS
A noise logger was deployed at the development site for 24 hours over the 13th and 14th of April 2017 to
assess the existing acoustic environment and perform background noise measurements in accordance with
SEPP N-1 and SEPP-N2 during Day (0700 - 1800), Evening (1800 - 2200), and Night (2200 - 0700) periods.
Weather conditions at the site during measurements were dry with light winds. A calibration check of the noise
logger was performed before and after the measurement set, no significant drift was noted. As the rail corridor
is raised approximately 3 meters above ground level, and roof access was not available, the logger was
deployed in an open window of the second floor of the existing building with direct line of site to train lines and
Richmond Station. The microphone was positioned in the centre of the window opening, flush with the window
face. The room behind was of sufficient size to minimise reflected noise. The location of the logger is shown in
Figure 5.1.

Figure 5.1 — Noise logger location
Noise levels were recorded in 1 second increments to capture train horn and wheel squeal events. Measured
noise levels are given in Table 5.1. Background noise levels for evaluation of SEPP N-1 and N-2 noise limits
were selected from the lowest 1-A90,30min values present within the Day, Evening and Night periods. Given the
number of train movements, only the highest measured train event within each period is presented along with
the highest LAeq,30mins value from each period. Values in bold font indicate the relevant metric from each
measurement.
Onsite observations found that noise associated with the nearby commercial tenancy (east) was of
significantly lower level than the rail corridor noise, and no noise from the industrial tenancy (north) was
observed.

The noise levels L90 are used for the calculations of noise limits for EPA policies SEPP N-1/SEPP N-2, and Leq
and Lmax levels are used for the design of facade glazing constructions. Instrumentation used for the noise
measurements is presented in Appendix B.
Noise associated with the adjacent rail corridor and Richmond Station was consistently the dominant source.
Observed noise sources associated with the rail corridor and Richmond Station included train horns, wheel
squeal, pass-by noise, and amplified announcements from Richmond Station. Of these, train horns produced
the greatest peak noise levels, wheel squeal the greatest sustained noise levels and station announcements
were audible but lower than other sources.
6 GROUND VIBRATION MEASUREMENTS

Measurements of ground vibration were performed on the 12th of April 2017 to capture the vibration levels
present during rail pass-by events. Measurements were taken on the footpath immediately in front of the
development site, approximately 15 meters from the nearest track. A total of 15 train pass-by events were
recorded including several from EMUs operating from Platform 9 (close to development). The highest ground
vibration event recorded was used to predict internal structure-borne noise levels resulting from rail activity
and evaluate human comfort due to whole-body vibration exposure.

ViALIC 33-35 Stewart Street Richmond Acoustics
Acoustic Report
Assuming no attenuation between measured ground vibration levels and those present on the penthouse level
of the development, the recorded ground vibration levels are predicted to produce 4OdBA in bedrooms and
42dBA in living rooms. The measured ground vibration is also compared to human comfort criteria from AS
2670.2-1990. Results are shown in Figure 6.1.

Figure 6.1 - Highest measured vibration acceleration 1/3 octave band spectrum compared to A2670.2 criteria.
For buildings of the planned development's size, a vibration transmission reduction of 5dB - 15dB can
reasonably be expected for values measured on the ground immediately outside of the building to those
measured inside the base of the building. Additionally, vibration is generally expected to be attenuated by
approximately 3dB from one floor to the next. Given the measured levels, ground vibration from railway activity
is considered unlikely to disturb occupants within the development.
Ground vibration from V/Line and freight units is not considered to present greater risk than measured levels
from EMUs as these units only operate along the southern link corridor (see Figure 4.1). Attenuation due to
distance separation is considered sufficient to limit the ground vibration levels.

7 ACOUSTIC DESIGN CRITERIA

7.1 RECOMMENDED INTERIOR NOISE LEVELS
Australia and New Zealand standard AS/NZS 2107 recommends design criteria for conditions affecting the
acoustic environment within occupied spaces. The Victorian Better Apartments Design Standards also provide
acoustic design criteria for apartments. Design sound pressure levels (SPL) for residential, commercial, office
and retail buildings are given in Table 7.1. The selected Design levels for this project are indicated in bold font.
These are applicable to steady state or quasi-steady state sounds and are the reference criteria for selection
and assessment of building components that exclude noise both external to the building (e.g. traffic noise,
industrial noise), and within the building (e.g. building services noise). This standard is not intended for either
the assessment or prescription of acceptable noise levels from transient or variable noise levels such as
aircraft noise, construction noise, railway noise, crowd noise and emergency vehicle audible warning devices.

7.2 RAILWAY NOISE
The Australian & New Zealand standard AS/NZS 2107 is not intended for assessment of acceptable noise
levels from variable noise sources such as railway noise. While there is no specific legislation of guidance for
existing railway noise in Victoria, maximum acceptable internal noise levels for railway noise intrusion within
residential occupancies can be referred to from VCAT decisions and the NSW EPA guidelines. As no
particular limits are provided for non-residential uses, the criteria for living rooms is adopted for general office
areas, open plan offices, and small retail stores. The maximum acceptable noise levels for railway noise
intrusion adopted for in this report are summarised in Table 7.2.

The Passenger Rail Infrastructure Noise Policy (PRINP) released by the Victorian Government in 2013
provides investigation thresholds for external noise levels associated with rail noise when a change in land use
occurs adjacent to a rail corridor. If these thresholds are exceeded, further investigations of the acoustic
impacts on the development are required for residential developments and additional mitigation measures may
be required. As internal noise levels have been addressed in Table 7.2, the investigation thresholds from
PRINP are adopted as maximum external noise levels due to rail noise for the development penthouse
balconies. These levels are summarised in Table 7.3.
Table 7.3 — Maximum external noise levels due to railway noise on penthouse balconies

Night
22:00 — 06:00 Penthouse balcony 60 dBLAeq or 85 dBLAmax
External
7.3 SLEEP DISTURBANCE
The NSW Road Noise Policy specifies internal noise levels to minimise health impacts relating to sleep
disturbance and concludes that:
• Maximum internal noise levels below 50-55 dB(A) are unlikely to awaken people from sleep
• One or two noise events per night, with maximum noise levels of 65-70 dB(A), are not likely to affect
health and wellbeing significantly.
Provided the maximum noise levels specified in Table 7.2 are not exceeded, no additional criteria are required
to address sleep disturbance.
7.4 NOISE EMISSION FROM THE DEVELOPMENT
7.4.1 PLANT NOISE AT RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES
Mechanical plant noise associated with the development must be controlled at any affected residential
properties in accordance with State Environmental Noise Policy SEPP N-1. According to the SEPP N-1 policy
the environmental noise limits are determined based on a two part procedure — determination of the existing
background noise levels (percentile sound pressure level LAN) and zoning levels (obtained from the town
planning scheme map). The general background noise levels for Day, Evening and Night periods were
measured at the site as shown in Figure 5.1 and the town planning scheme map is shown in. Table 7.4
presents the calculated SEPP N-1 limits. The background level for each period was taken from the lowest
LA90,30min values present within each period.

7.4.2 PLANT NOISE WITHIN ANY AFFECTED COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES

The noise emissions from plant into the nearby commercial buildings need to be assessed according to the
requirements of the acoustic environment inside the affected buildings. The closest affected commercial
properties span the ground floor to level 08 of the development, the industrial use premises to the north, and
commercial premises to the east to the development. According to AS/NZS 2107, noise limits inside office
buildings (open plan and general office ares) are 40 - 45 dBA, and limits in inside small retail stores are 50
dBA. Therefore the noise level from mechanical plant shall not exceed 55 dBA on the facade for an operable
window and 65dBA for fixed windows.
7.4.3 PLANT SERVICING INDIVIDUAL DWELLINGS
Noise emissions from any fixed domestic plant such air conditioners shall be controlled to comply with EPA
Noise Control Guidelines 1254. Noise from any fixed domestic plant must not be audible within a habitable
room of any other residence (regardless of whether any door or window giving access to the room is open)
during prohibited hours prescribed by the Environment Protection (Residential Noise) Regulations 2008.

7.4.4 PLANT NOISE AT ANY AFFECTED PUBLIC ACCESS

There are no standards or policies for limitations of noise in a public access area and therefore the common
noise requirement for public access is adopted in this project. The noise levels from plant shall not exceed 60
dBA in any public access areas, e.g., footpath, retail access, common areas, terrace areas or similar.
7.5 ENTERTAINMENT NOISE
The state EPA environment noise policy SEPP N-2 regulates the music sound from public premises at
residential properties. This applies to music emitted from retail premises on the ground floor of the
development. The policy defines noise limits for two time periods - Day/Evening and Night, based on the
background noise (without music) levels at assessment locations. The SEPP N-2 limits for the development
are given in Table 7.6 and the time periods are shown in Error! Reference source not found..

8 BUILDING FACADE GLAZING RECOMMENDATIONS

The impacts of external noise on the building facade window glazing were assessed according to the
recommended internal noise design limits in Table 7.1 and Table 7.2. The constructions of window glazing
were designed based on the various singular or combined existing noise sources impacting each facade. The
current glazing designs do not include noise from plant within the proposed development.
As complete glazing area details were not available at this stage of the project, the following areas have been
assumed:
• Ground Level Retail — 25m2;
• Level 01 Commercial — 24m2 for existing facade, full height glazing all other areas;
• Level 02 — Level 09 — Full height glazing throughout.
Room ceiling heights were assumed to be 3.8 meters for ground floor, 3 meters for Level 01 — Level 03, 2.7
meters for Level 04 — Level 08, and 3 meters for Level 09.
Incident noise level spectra used for calculation of glazing requirements includes:
• Non-residential uses = greatest LAmax event across all periods and highest LAeq,30min from the Day
period (07:00 — 18:00);
• Apartment — Living areas = greatest LAmax event across all periods and I eq ,1 6h (06:00 — 22:00);
• Apartment — Bedrooms = greatest LAmax event across all periods and LAeq ,8h (22:00 — 06:00).
Glazing is selected to meet criteria specified in Table 7.1 and Table 7.2. The design criteria resulting in the
stronger glazing specification is indicated in Table 8.1.
Table 8.1 presents the configurations of all window glazing.

Given the sawtooth shape of the current glazing design, it is important to ensure that all glazing joins are
properly sealed, as any acoustic weakness present at these joins may result in exceedance of the internal
acoustic design criteria.
9 CONCLUSION
This report for the proposed development at 33 - 35 Stewart Street, Richmond, provides the acoustic criteria
for the project in accordance with the relevant policies and standards to meet condition 5 of the Yarra City
Council RFI. The construction of the façade glazing was designed based on measurements of railway noise
and noise coming from Richmond Station to achieve the appropriate levels of amenity.
