Has YHA considered and dealt with possible noise impacts on surrounding neighbours?
Acoustic consultants, Acoustic Logic Consultancy, assessed noise impacts found that appropriate measures can be taken to ensure minimal noise impacts on surrounding neighbours. In addition, YHA employs the following methods to prevent noise impacting on neighbours: • The Level 1 terrace is closed at 10pm. • The Level 3 terrace is closed at 10pm. The balustrade around the terrace is 1 metre high and imperforate (eg glass/Perspex) to reduce noise. • Hostel management supervises use of the terraces to prevent noisy behaviour. • Bottle/garbage collection will be done on Cumberland Street.
