        Response to Information Request MCU12/0023

Further to your request I wish to provide my written response to the information
request from Sunshine Coast Regional Council dated 26 March 2012 with respect to
noise amenity.

I have discussed all the issues as listed below with Council Officer Rhian Davies and
he requested the response be put in writing. He indicated that my responses appear
to address the queries raised.

The response is provided by including the Information Request item and then a
response to each point as necessary.




Response:

The measured noise level is an LAmax, adjT, and is based upon L10 measurements with
a 5 dB(A) correction for impulsive character to account for the variation in voices and
cutlery/crockery noise in dining areas to be conservative.

Hence all predictions are in terms of LAmax, adj,T.
