1 Description of Works

Include a detailed description of works

- Location of works, include map of location in appendices or specify street addresses,

- Specific activities, only those activities identified in the NMP are permitted

- Justification for works

o based on more than a matter of convenience.

o detail the significant impediments that would arise should the construction work be conducted during normal hours and how conducting works out of these times will resolve these issues.

- Environmental Approvals/ applications (if applicable) and relevant conditions

- Commencement date and duration of works

- Schedule

- confirmation works are carried out in accordance with Australian Standard AS 2436-2010 Guide to noise and vibration control on construction, maintenance and demolition sites;

2 Contractor Details

Information regarding the contractor and relevant contacts.

Table 1.

Name / Position / Contact Number/s / Email

3 Equipment

Include detail of:

- Plant type and number on site

- Confirmation that the equipment used for construction work is the quietest reasonably available

- Purchasing practices

- how that equipment will be used

- the duration of use of the equipment and/or period of works

- Maintenance and operation of machinery / equipment / vehicles

4 Noise and Vibration Predictions

Include:

- Consider all noise generating activities

- AS 2436 provides a technical framework to estimate noise from construction sites

- Equipment manufacturers may off predicted noise emissions

- Consider sound power level, vibration and the characteristics of the noise i.e. tonal, impulsive, low frequency that will result from the works

5 Noise and Vibration Monitoring

Include site specific information including:

· Who will conduct the monitoring activities

· Where will monitoring activities be e.g. position and location

· Frequency and duration of monitoring activities, (representative of the particular works)

· How monitoring activities will be undertaken e.g. measurement equipment

Depending upon the type of work, certain projects will require regular noise monitoring with specified machinery by a competent person e.g. noise meter and acoustic consultant.

6 Noise and Vibration Control Measures

This should be the most detailed section of a NMP and contains the essential measures that are being undertaken to minimise noise

Include control measures around the following:

· Site Planning, barriers and layout

· Equipment

· Work practices

7 Complaint Response
