AS/NZS 3580.1.1 compliance (pollutants): Complies, except for:
- Isolated trees above height of inlet within 10 metres west of the monitoring site.
AS/NZS 3580.14 compliance (meteorology): Complies, except for:
- Isolated trees within 10 metres west of the monitoring site.
- Temperature and relative humidity sensors located 10 metres above ground level.
- Rainfall measured by acoustic sensor.
