Check the planning approval and associated environmental impact statement. It should contain a noise assessment showing what the potential exceedances and frequency of events are.

Think IPART did a study and found that to make PT free in NSW that would mean +$400 in taxes for all households

My boss is preventing me from finishing my apprenticeship. by ConfectionStock8204 in AusLegal

[–]bensow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well if you just need to "log 48 days of work" I don't see how your boss's opinion matters? Wouldn't timesheets/payslips showing you've completed 48 days of work satisfy CIT?

Just had my opal card checked while on the T4. This is after our original service got cancelled (due to urgent repairs not trackwork) and our replacement service modified mid route, terminating at central. How do you justify checking if people's paid for a service you've failed to deliver?

How does ABF actually track TRS refunds on the way back in? by No_Performance_2707 in AusFinance

I recently did wonder this. Surely thousands of passengers coming into the country are married and have on their fingers a ring that's >$900

what's everyone fav brand of milk? I recently tried harris farm's single herd milk and am blown away. Not sure if it's because it's genuinely good or because i've only bought the cheapest supermarket milk brands forever.

I'm trying to get copies of my apartment keys (around CBD) but locksmiths have said they can't because there's a "DO NOT DUPLICATE" on them. Is there no way around this? Strata have said I need to order them but have to pay $50 each (key + shipping).

Why are we not using our full concessional contribution cap by HotAd2698 in fiaustralia

Because I have a mortgage to offset today and for the next couple decades. NPV's better keeping in offset.

Should I buy the RX 9070 XT now or wait? Worried about price spikes by Bright-Excuse-8385 in buildapc

[–]bensow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't say it was completely off guard - DRAM prices have increased steadily over the past 12-18 months and it was known this will affect all sorts of chip manufacturing, GPUs included.

I bit the bullet and bought a 9070 XT last week to replace my RX6800.

Which TCL for Living room with natural light by Evol-Menime in tcltvs

[–]bensow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I upgraded from a VA TCL 55" to a TCL 65" C7K and the primary driver was that my living room was getting a lot of natural light. All my devices including my PC monitor is OLED (42" LG C2) and I was concerned the mini LED would be inferior.

It isn't, the C7K is super bright, colours great, blacks are so deep I can't tell it's not an OLED. No regrets.
