Noise from construction activities when measured at any residentially occupied dwelling, Tauranga Boys College and the Matapihi Primary School shall not exceed the following noise limits, except where specified in condition (4) below: Time Period Weekdays Saturdays Sundays and Public Holidays Leq Lmax Leq Lmax Leq Lmax Noise from construction activities when measured at any buildings used for business purposes in the residential zone, or any property zoned Business (other than hospitals, healthcare facilities, hostels, hotels or other noise sensitive activities regardless of the zone) shall not exceed the following noise limits, except where specified in condition (4) below: Time Period Noise Limit (Leq ) Where construction work is proposed to be carried out on Sundays or Public Holidays, and on all other days of the week between 6.00pm and 7.30am the following day, (e.g. at Fraser Street Shopping Centre, Merivale Shops and major intersections) and for the Harbour Crossing and Foreshore Walkway sections, the noise limits in conditions 2 and 3 shall not apply. For each of these locations, a Construction Noise Management Plan (CNMP) shall be submitted for TCC and/or Regional Council approval prior to works commencing.

2 a) The CNMP shall be based on Annex E of NZS6803:1999 and shall set out the noise mitigation and management measures to be implemented to minimise noise emissions and comply with the requirements of Section 16 of the RMA. b) Where the noise limits in conditions (2) and (3) are to be varied by the CNMP, the limits must be reasonable in terms of S16 of the RMA with reference to the ambient background levels in the area. The limits must be reasonable in the context of the receiver. An Leq limit of background (Leq) plus 10 limit is appropriate with an absolute cap (between 2200 and 0630) of Leq 60 for any night works. This is based on typical attenuation through open windows in a dwelling facing the works. If through the CNMP, it can be demonstrated that a higher level of attenuation is possible, (for example all bedrooms are at the rear of the dwelling facing away from the works) then the noise limit can be increased accordingly such that no more than Leq 60 is received at the bedroom windows. 5. All construction noise shall be measured and assessed in accordance with NZS6803:1999 Acoustics Construction Noise, NZS6801:1999 Acoustics Measurement of Sound and NZS6802:1999 Acoustics Assessment of Environmental Noise. 6. All construction related vibration for the entire route shall comply with the provisions and limits in the German Standard DIN 4150 Part 3: 1999 Structural Vibration in Buildings Affects on Structures, (DIN4150). 7. Prior to works commencing, the consent holder shall submit a Construction Vibration Management Plan, (CVMP) applicable to the entire route as well as for the Harbour Crossing works as set out below: a) The CVMP shall set out general project-wide vibration mitigation measures to be implemented; and b) Shall specify a complaints-management procedure including how complaints are to be recorded, investigated and actioned; and c) The CVMP shall set out appropriate corrective action measures should measured vibration arising from the works as a result of complaints not comply with the above standard. d) In the case of the Harbourside Restaurant, the CVMP shall set out specific monitoring procedures, and shall confirm the classification of the building in terms of the DIN4150 vibration limits. The classification shall be determined by a suitably qualified structural engineer. 8. Prior to works commencing near the Harbourside Restaurant, the consent holder shall submit to the Council a Pre-Construction Condition Survey report of the building that has been carried out by a suitably qualified person. 9.
