                                                                     GRASSTREE COURT, SUNRISE BEACH
                                                                            NOISE IMPACT ASSESSMENT

         From the limits presented in Table 3 we see that the expected impacts are significantly below
         the expected background noise levels.

         Noise emissions from the provision of amplified entertainment in the internal areas will be
         governed by the provisions of the Liquor Act and the Liquor Regulation. During the detailed
         design phase of the development the façade and structure of the facility will be detailed to
         ensure that the desired level of amplified entertainment will be contained so that the required
         limits are satisfied at the nearest noise sensitive location.

7.0      INTRUSION NOISE

         The area surrounding the proposed development is residential or undeveloped with the
         exception of the Sunshine Beach Uniting Church. The logged record at ML1 which included a
         weekend does not indicate noise impact above the background noise at the expected nosiest
         time at the start of Sunday services. See Sketch 7 for a graphical representation of the logged
         record. Accordingly noise intrusion onto the site from the church and its associated activities
         are not considered an issue.

8.0      CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

         Based on the measurements and predictions presented, the following conclusions can be
         drawn:

          Road traffic Noise from Ben Lexcen Drive will impact on to the most affected facades of
           the development at levels up to 57 dB LA10 18 hr :
          With the inclusion of an acoustic barrier fence internal traffic noise levels impacts onto
           adjacent residents can be controlled to be below ambient levels.; and
          The site is not affected by noise intrusion from the adjacent church.



         To ensure compliance with the requirements of The Sunshine Coast Regional Council for the
         control of noise intrusion and emission the following is recommended:

             An acoustic barrier fence be incorporated in to the development as indicated on Sketch 2.



Subject to the recommended acoustic treatments, it is the opinion of Palmer Acoustics (Australia)
Pty Ltd that the proposed development will generally comply with the requirements of The
Sunshine Coast Regional Council, Noose Division’s development codes.
