EcoAcoustics

EcoAcoustics provides Safety Audits and Risk Assessments, specialising in environmental, industrial and event noise, from its Perth base for projects across Australia.

• The firm has monitored more than 1,000 noise events since 2009, giving over nine years of acoustic consulting experience across sectors.
• Industrial noise assessments involve a source by source survey of plant and process on site, modelled against the Noise Policy for Industry, with prioritised, cost effective control recommendations rather than automatic engineering treatment.
• Environmental noise assessments combine attended or unattended baseline monitoring with source specific modelling to produce council ready compliance reports for development approvals, change of use applications and licence renewals.
• Every engagement is scoped up front, with a fixed scope proposal issued before work begins.

Best for: developers, industrial operators and local governments across Australia needing defensible noise and vibration audits to support a development approval, licence application or response to a compliance notice.

EcoAcoustics also works as a Safety Consultant, providing independent acoustic expert evidence and risk assessment advice for matters that will be tested by a regulator or tribunal.

• Environmental specialist Rebecca Ireland has 30 plus years in the field and has appeared as an expert witness in State Administrative Tribunal and court proceedings, and is a member of the Australian Acoustical Society.
• The firm supports event organisers with noise management plans, pre event prediction modelling and real time monitoring, including Regulation 18 and 19B permit applications in Western Australia.
• Reports are written specifically to withstand scrutiny, with a defined methodology applied consistently across environmental, industrial and event noise matters.

Best for: lawyers, planners and event organisers needing independent, court tested acoustic evidence or a noise management plan to satisfy permit conditions.
