PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                      9 AUGUST 2016


Noise
8.      External speakers or amplified music are not permitted.
9.      Internal amplified music must be directed away from the Bottlebrush Avenue frontage.
10.     Refuse disposal, particularly glass bottles and the like, must be considerate of noise at all
        times.
11.     Management must ensure patrons leave the premises and street frontage promptly after
        nightly closing time and do not mingle or otherwise cause noise nuisance to residents on
        Bottlebrush Avenue.
12.     The development must be undertaken in accordance with the recommendations of the
        Acoustic Report prepared by ATP Consulting Engineers (Reference ATP150314-NIA-02)
        dated 24 June 2015 and ATP’s addendum letters dated 9 October 2015 and 10 December
        2015.
13.     The 2.6m acoustic fence recommended by the approved Acoustic Report must be erected
        within 3 months of this approval taking effect. The fence must meet the construction
        standards required by the approved Acoustic Report.
14.     Noise emissions from any new mechanical equipment associated with the development shall
        comply with the following requirements:
        14.1   Air-conditioning and Refrigeration
                   7am to 10pm: Background + 5dB(A)
                   10pm to 7am: Background + 3dB(A)
15.     Written certification must be submitted from a suitably qualified person confirming noise
        levels from any new mechanical equipment comply when measured at either the residential
        boundary or outside the most exposed part of an affected building, whichever is the closest
        to the equipment.
        The assessment and certification is required immediately after installation of the equipment
        and in a format approved by Council. All equipment should be operating at the same time to
        test the overall noise level created.
        Advice: It is highly recommended the person you engage to certify the installation is involved
        prior to installation of any equipment so they can recommend where equipment is best
        located. They can also advise about noise enclosures and make other suggestions to avoid
        noise problems. It is a lot more costly to try and deal with noise problems after installation.
Landscaping
16.     Dense native screening shrubs up to 3m in height must be established on the Bottlebrush
        Avenue side of the new acoustic fence for its full length to visually screen the fence.
Refuse
17.     Refuse containers must be provided in accordance with the requirements of the
        Environmental Protection (Interim Waste) Regulation 1996 and (Waste Management)
        Regulation 2000, for the storage and collection of refuse.
