Scoping Study on External Noise
Project output - to undertake a scoping study to determine if there is any need for a regulatory or non-regulatory solution in relation to minimising the intrusion of external noise into buildings.
Description
Individual councils and State Governments are beginning to introduce acoustic requirements for buildings to reduce the impact of external noise, particularly for Class 2/3 buildings located in inner city areas, and residential buildings adjacent to transport corridors.
The aim of the scoping study is to determine:
- the current situation
- if there is a need for a regulatory or non-regulatory solution or whether the status quo should prevail
- the feasibility of a national solution
- the appropriateness of including suitable provisions in the BCA.
