Our scope
MDA originally assessed the proposal during the early planning stages and provided guidance to the project team to achieve appropriate amenity outcomes and discuss environmental noise limit compliance considerations for the adjacent industrial site.

Balancing expectations and providing practical advice in order to assist a residential developer in taking all reasonably practicable steps requires thorough and detailed acoustic assessment.
