Hard floor impact isolation testing in Western Sydney is required to demonstrate compliance with strata by-laws, verify acoustic performance, and manage impact noise risk in apartment buildings.
AACG provides hard floor acoustic testing aligned with NCC requirements and industry standards including AS ISO 717.2 and ISO 140-7, with performance benchmarking against Australian Acoustical Society (AAAC) star ratings.
This service is commonly required across Western Sydney apartment markets including Parramatta, Olympic Park, Ryde, Blacktown, Auburn, Granville, Harris Park, and Wentworth Point where hard flooring upgrades are frequent and tightly controlled by strata.
Hard floor impact isolation testing is required in Western Sydney where:
This is common across apartment buildings in Parramatta, Olympic Park, and Wentworth Point where high-density developments and investor ownership increase the risk of acoustic non-compliance.
Hard floor acoustic performance in Western Sydney is governed by a combination of NCC provisions, testing standards, and strata controls.
Technical Framework
Strata Framework (NSW)
In NSW, there is no single mandated impact sound rating for hard flooring.
Instead, compliance is defined by:
Performance Benchmarks (Project-Specific)
Performance requirements vary significantly between buildings, with common targets including:
AAAC Star Rating Benchmark
Many Western Sydney strata schemes explicitly require 4 Star, 5 Star, or higher performance, particularly in newer developments.
AACG conducts field-based impact isolation testing in accordance with ISO 140-7 and AS ISO 717.2.

Outputs
Compliance in Western Sydney is determined by measured in-situ performance and alignment with strata requirements.
AACG testing provides:
Where performance targets are not achieved, results clearly identify the extent of non-compliance and contributing factors.
Achieving compliant impact isolation requires system-level design.
