In August (2012) the EPA announced in a strategic plan that finally it was finally going to take the toxic noise produced by the gas plants near the 12 Apostles seriously. This gave us hope that the EPA might actually start fulfilling their charter and actually begin to do something in regard to policing the industrial noise in south-west Victoria.
It's the middle of September (2012) and not surprisingly we are almost certain nothing yet has happened in this regard. So below is a reminder about some readings that were taken more than three years ago, before Origin bough the troubled Woodside gas plant.
Woodside Readings from Sat 31 Jan 2009
LEQ average: 51.7dBA
L90 average: 40.8dBA
Sun 1 Feb:
LEQ average: 48.3dBA
L90: 40.8dBA
Of course, nothing has ever come of this or anything else
sincerely

Note: the gas plant is only licensed to emit 35db of noise. Noise is not
a linear measurment and the above readings are more than double the
licence limit. The EPA of course did not act on these readings
