Introduction
AACG provides aircraft noise intrusion reports for developments across South Australia, including sites affected by airport noise exposure and ANEF contours.
Our reports are prepared in accordance with MBS 101 and relevant acoustic standards, ensuring compliance with planning and building approval requirements.
We work with:
- Architects
- Builders
- Developers
- Homeowners
Reports are structured for council submission, certifier review, and design coordination.
Our Reports
Aircraft noise intrusion reports are prepared in accordance with:
- MBS 101 – Minister’s Building Standard (South Australia)
- AS/NZS 2107:2016 internal noise level criteria
- Applicable ANEF contour mapping and planning overlays
Each report includes:
- Assessment of aircraft noise exposure at the site
- Internal noise level targets for habitable rooms
- Building envelope recommendations (walls, glazing, roof systems)
- Mechanical ventilation requirements where applicable
- Documentation suitable for development approval
Aircraft Noise Requirements in South Australia (MBS 101)
MBS 101 sets out requirements for buildings located within defined aircraft noise exposure areas.
This typically applies where:
- The site is within an ANEF contour
- Development approval requires an acoustic assessment
- Residential or sensitive uses are proposed
Compliance requires:
- Achieving acceptable internal noise levels
- Designing the building envelope to mitigate aircraft noise
- Demonstrating compliance through a formal acoustic report
AACG ensures all requirements are clearly defined and documented.
Our Process
AACG applies a structured and repeatable assessment process:
- Review of ANEF contours and applicable planning controls
- Identification of building use and internal noise criteria
- Application of acoustic performance targets to building elements
- Development of practical construction recommendations
All outputs are:
- Buildable
- Coordinated with architectural drawings
- Suitable for submission without rework
Our Quality
AACG reports are prepared with a focus on:
- Technical accuracy
- Regulatory compliance
- Documentation clarity
We do not rely on generic templates.
Each report is:
- Site-specific
- Based on verified data
- Structured for efficient assessment by councils and certifiers
Our Commercial Approach
Aircraft noise compliance can impact construction scope and cost.
Key variables include:
- Glazing performance
- Wall and roof construction
- Ventilation strategy
AACG manages this by:
- Defining requirements early in the design phase
- Avoiding unnecessary overdesign
- Aligning acoustic performance with practical construction methods
Our Guarantees
AACG provides:
- Reports suitable for development application submission in South Australia
- Clear and defendable acoustic criteria
- Consistent, professional documentation
We also provide:
- Coordination with architects and designers
- Clarification responses to councils and certifiers
- Ongoing support where design changes occur
Service Area
AACG provides aircraft noise intrusion reports across:
- Adelaide metropolitan area
- Greater South Australia
- Regional developments affected by airport noise exposure
