Aircraft Noise Assessment for Development Approval
If council or your certifier has requested an aircraft noise assessment, Soundscape can prepare an acoustic report for development approval or Construction Certificate requirements. We assess the proposed building against the aircraft noise provisions nominated in your approval, including AS 2021:2015 – Acoustics, Aircraft noise intrusion, Building siting and construction.
Our reports identify the acoustic construction needed to control aircraft noise inside the building, with practical recommendations for glazing, external walls, roofs and ceilings, doors and ventilation where required. We offer competitive pricing, with a standard turnaround of 1 to 3 business days from acceptance.
Aircraft Noise Reports for Council & Certification
A typical approval condition requires an acoustic report before a Construction Certificate is issued. The report demonstrates how the building design addresses aircraft noise and sets out any noise attenuation measures that need to be shown on the construction plans.
Where mechanical ventilation or air conditioning is required, we document these requirements clearly for your architect, designer, builder and certifier.
What the Assessment Considers
Aircraft noise intrusion depends on the site, the aircraft operations and the proposed building. Depending on the project, our assessment considers:
- Site location, orientation and elevation relative to aircraft flight paths.
- Applicable aircraft noise data and the types and frequency of aircraft operations.
- The use of each room, including bedrooms and other noise-sensitive spaces.
- Building layout, facade construction, glazing and ventilation.
- The internal acoustic environment desired.
What You Receive
- An aircraft noise acoustic report addressing the relevant approval condition and AS 2021:2015 requirements.
- Site- and building-specific assessment of aircraft noise intrusion.
- Clear acoustic requirements for glazing, walls, roofs/ceilings and doors where treatment is required.
- Ventilation or air-conditioning requirements where closed windows or doors are needed for acoustic compliance.
- Practical recommendations suitable for coordination with your plans and submission to the certifying authority.
When Additional Noise Measurements May Be Needed
Most aircraft noise assessments can be completed using the applicable aircraft noise information together with the proposed building plans. In some locations, published or modelled data may not adequately represent the site. If supplementary aircraft noise measurements are appropriate, we can advise this after reviewing the project information and approval requirements.
