Noise Protocol - Designation of zones and reservations

This dataset contains the designated types of zones and reservations for major urban areas used when setting noise limits for commercial, industrial and trade premises. \r\n\r\nThe Environment Protection Regulations 2021 and the incorporated Noise Protocol document, Noise limit and assessment protocol for the control of noise from commercial, industrial and trade premises and entertainment venues (EPA publication 1826) set the limits for commercial, industrial and trade noise. \r\n\r\nThe Noise Protocol’s urban area method uses the designated types to calculate the zoning level, which contributes to the noise limit. This method applies when the residence or other noise sensitive area is located within a major urban area. The major urban area boundaries are available on DataVic Major urban area – Location Polygons \r\nhttps://discover.data.vic.gov.au/dataset/major-urban-area-location-polygons-and-table.\r\n\r\nThis dataset is based on Annex A of the Noise Protocol. It is updated each fortnight with planning scheme zones not listed in the annex. \r\n\r\nThe table of zones and reservations in Annex A of the Noise Protocol and this dataset are for use only with the urban area method for determining noise limits for commercial, industrial and trade premises in accordance with the Environment Protection Regulations 2021. \r\nThe dataset includes local government area (LGA) codes. The local government area name corresponding to each code is available on DataVic as LGA. https://discover.data.vic.gov.au/dataset/lga

本数据集涵盖用于制定商业、工业及贸易场所噪声限值的大都市区指定分区与预留用地类型。

《2021年环境保护条例》及其所附的《商业、工业及贸易场所与娱乐场所噪声控制噪声限值及评估规程》（EPA出版物1826），明确了商业、工业及贸易噪声的限值标准。

本规程的大都市区测算方法通过指定分区类型计算分区等级，以此确定噪声限值。该方法适用于住宅或其他噪声敏感区域位于大都市区范围内的场景。大都市区边界数据可从DataVic的「大都市区——位置多边形」数据集获取，链接为：https://discover.data.vic.gov.au/dataset/major-urban-area-location-polygons-and-table。

本数据集基于《噪声规程》附录A制定，每两周更新一次，补充收录附录中未列入的规划方案分区。

《噪声规程》附录A中的分区与预留用地表及本数据集，仅可用于依据《2021年环境保护条例》，通过大都市区测算方法确定商业、工业及贸易场所的噪声限值。

本数据集包含地方政府区域（LGA）代码。各代码对应的地方政府区域名称可从DataVic的「LGA」数据集获取，链接为：https://discover.data.vic.gov.au/dataset/lga。
