I am writing because I am the owner occupier of a townhouse at xxxxxxx, Cudgen. My property backs onto Tweed Coast Road and both bedroom windows look towards the hospital site. I am concerned that there has not been a noise and vibration assessment completed for this section of the road. Due to the proximity of the townhouses (xxxxx, Cudgen) to the Tweed Coast Road/Cudgen Road intersection upgrade, I am dissatisfied with the lack of consideration for the potential of increased noise caused by traffic accessing the hospital site.
I am concerned that:
- There will be a substantial increase of traffic along Tweed Coast Road.
- There will be an increased level of noise caused by the multilayered car-park and the backup electrical generator which will be on the western side of the hospital and in sight from both bedroom windows.
- That the helicopter pad will generate noise at night as well as flashing lights.
- That Sirens and flashing lights from emergency vehicles will affect the sleeping conditions at my residence.
I request that a noise impact assessment for the residence of 6 John Robb Way, Cudgen be conducted and a sound barrier be installed where the property backs onto the Tweed Coast Road as well as double glazed windows to help mitigate the effects of noise pollution caused by the Tweed Valley Hospital.

I have been a consultant , owner manager employed in the building and construction industry for better than 35 years
I have attached some thoughts that I hope may be found to be useful in the planning of this important project.
