Ref: 1080756/LAB06
Good afternoon, Mike,
I refer to the abovenamed premises and to the lodged application for variation of licence
conditions.
Following on from the assessment of the submitted acoustic report by an OLGR Officer, the
following has been recommended:
• Noise emanating from the premises, including amplified and/or non-amplified noise
and/or patron noise, must not exceed the following limits, fast response, when
measured at the following close external monitoring location (CEML):
CEML 1 - Located external to the premises between the southern side of the clubhouse and the
residence at 9 Webb Road (residence closest to beach), one metre from the retaining wall in Ed
Webb Park and perpendicular to the retaining wall and the southern-most point of the
clubhouse roof.
This has approximate coordinates of (Latitude -26.40662, longitude – 153.11198).
- 61dB(A) between 10.00am and 6.00pm
- 56dB(A) between 6.00pm and 10.00pm
- 58dB(C) between 10.00pm and 12.00am
• CEML 2 - Located external to the premises, between the southern side of the clubhouse
and the residence at 7 Webb Road, approximately one metre perpendicular from the
retaining wall in Ed Webb Park and in-line with the beach-side roof line of the residence
at 7 Webb Road (roadside residence).
Page 3
This has approximate coordinates of (Latitude -26.40659, longitude – 153.11171).
- 61dB(A) between 10.00am and 6.00pm
- 56dB(A) between 6.00pm and 10.00pm
- 55dB(C) between 10.00pm and 12.00am
• CEML 3 - Located external to the premises on the northern side of the clubhouse,
directly over the tactile ‘edge of footpath’ indicators at the north-east corner of the
clubhouse driveway entry at Belmore Terrace.
This has approximate coordinates of (Latitude -26.40578, longitude – 153.11206).
- 55dB(A) between 10.00am and 6.00pm
- 56dB(A) between 6.00pm and 10.00pm
- 63dB(C) between 10.00pm and 12.00am
• LL267 - The licensee must purchase and maintain in good working order, a noise meter.
The noise meter is to be utilised for the purpose of taking readings at any external,
internal or close monitoring location. The noise meter must be capable of reading noise
in both dB(A) and dB(C) weighting fast response.
• Alterations or changes to the premises or landscape that could vary the location of any
CEML's or make their location unidentifiable must not be undertaken without the
authority of the Commissioner for Liquor and Gaming.
It is also recommended the following conditions remain on the licence due to the Noosa
Council MCU17/0024.01:
LL262 - Management must install and maintain in good working order, a sound limiting device
and ensure that all amplified noise at the premises is conducted through a sound limiting device
at all times to ensure that noise does not exceed levels prescribed in the conditions of this
licence.
LL263 - The sound limiting device is to have a locking mechanism, which is to be locked at all
times except for inspection or maintenance work on the device.
LL264 - Access to the sound limiting device, except for maintenance work, is restricted to the
licensee, approved manager and the person in charge of the premises at any time.
Specific condition # 8072658 will also remain on the licence, as this condition covers all hours
outside of those that the new noise conditions will cover, i.e. between 12:00am and 10:00am:
Page 4
• Unless otherwise conditioned on this licence, noise emanating from the premises,
including amplified and/or non-amplified noise and/or patron noise must not exceed
75dB(C), fast response, when measured approximately 3 metres from the primary
source of the noise.
Please note: Conditions 8072664, 807665, 8072666 and 789738 are to be removed.
Your clients consent to the above is now required, please confirm whether they object / do not
object to the above-mentioned conditions being endorsed on the licence. Should they object,
please provide their written submissions within 14 days of receiving this advice.
Should you have any further queries concerning this matter, please contact our office on 1300

Acoustic Report (Minor Change Application) 12 August 2025
1 Introduction
Sunshine Beach SLSC intend to submit a Town Planning Minor Change application to Noosa
Council to modify existing conditions of approval for MCU 17/0024.2.
Live It Acoustics were engaged by RG Strategic to provide supporting documentation for the
Minor Change Application.
Sunshine Beach Surf Life Saving Club, the subject site for MCU 17/0024.2, is located at The
Esplanade, Sunshine Beach QLD 4567 (Lot 5 over SP 269274 and Lot 126 over CP 845336).
The subject site is indicated over aerial imagery below in Figure 1.
Figure 1. Subject site (aerial imagery)
The purpose of this report is to provide technical justification for amendments to be made to the
existing approval conditions 8-11, using the assessment methodology and outcomes presented
within a previous acoustic report (reference: 1721d1-C) endorsed by the Office of Liquor and
Gaming Regulation (OLGR).
Live It Acoustics Page 1
Page 9
Sunshine Beach Surf Life Saving Club #1966d1-B Acoustic Report (Minor Change Application) 12 August 2025 The previous assessment investigated potential noise impacts generated by the licensed premises in relation to ‘unreasonable noise’ as defined in the Liquor Act 1992 and Liquor Regulation 2002. The previous report provided recommendations which allowed OLGR to condition the licensed premises objectively to avoid “unreasonable noise”. 1.1 Limitations This report has been prepared exclusively for the use of Sunshine Beach SLSC and the relevant assessment authorities. While reasonable care has been taken to verify all data and sources, Live It Acoustics does not warrant the accuracy of information supplied by third parties unless otherwise stated. No liability is accepted for interpretations or conclusions drawn by others without full access to the complete document. The report must be read in its entirety and must not be reproduced or relied upon in part, or for any other purpose, without the written consent of Live It Acoustics. The scope of the previous assessment was limited to noise emissions associated with the operation of the licensed premises. Operational noise from other areas of the surf club, such as the lower ground club areas, were not relevant to the previous engagement. It should also be noted that this report does not present results of any new noise assessments conducted specifically for the Minor Change Application and instead draws from existing assessments completed for the subject site.

Acoustic Report (Minor Change Application) 12 August 2025
2 Regulatory Requirements
2.1 Summary of Existing Approval Conditions
Noosa Council issued a Decision Notice – Minor Change on 18 December 2024 (reference:
MCU17/0024.02). The Decision Notice includes existing approval conditions which relate to
amplified noise at the premises. These conditions are reproduced below:
NOISE
8. All amplified noise at the premises must be conducted through a sound limiting
device at all times to ensure that noise does not exceed the following:
i. between 6a.m. and 10p.m.—the adjusted maximum sound pressure level
LA10, plus adjustments for tonal and impulse components, exceeding the
background level LA90 by more than 10dB(A);
ii. between 10p.m. and 6a.m.—the sound pressure level LOCT10, in a full
octave band with centre frequencies from 63HZ to 2000HZ, exceeding
the background level LOCT90 by more than 8dB in any octave band.
Condition 8 i and ii shall apply for 12 months commencing 22 May 2020, unless further
extended by Council in writing. After that time if not extended by Council in writing
condition 8 iii and iv shall apply:
iii. Noise emanating from the premises including amplified or non-amplified
noise and patron noise prior to 10.00pm must not exceed 90dBC, fast
response, when measured approximately 3 metres from the source of the
noise; and
iv. Noise emanating from the premises including amplified or non-amplified
noise and patron noise after 10.00pm must not exceed 85dBC, fast
response, when measured approximately 3 metres from the source of the
noise.
9. The sound limiting device is to have a locking mechanism, which is to be locked
at all times except for inspection or maintenance work on the device.
10. Access to the sound limiting device, except for maintenance work, is restricted to
the licensee, nominee and the person in charge of the premises at the time.
11. The sound limiting device must be checked and if necessary calibrated by a
qualified acoustic engineer at least every 12 months to ensure compliance with
the conditions of the license. Evidence of the sound limiting device calibration must
be made available to an investigator or police on request.

Sunshine Beach Surf Life Saving Club #1966d1-B
Acoustic Report (Minor Change Application) 12 August 2025
Key aspects of the existing approval conditions include:
• Condition 8 i) and ii) have been reproduced from the Liquor Regulation 2002. Sections 2.2
and 2.3 below provides legislative context for the noise criteria presented in these
conditions.
• Conditions 8 i) and ii) have now expired, as these conditions are stated to be replaced by
Condition 8 iii) and iv) after a period of 12 months commencing 22 May 2020.
• Specific noise limits detailed in Condition 8(iii) and (iv) were adopted from the findings of
a previous acoustic report prepared for Sunshine Beach SLSC. Based upon the noise limit
frequency weightings detailed in these conditions, the previous report is believed to have
been completed in accordance with OLGR’s Guideline 50, which was superseded by
Guideline 51 in 2019 (the latest revision of the document, 2.2, is dated 03 November
2020).
• The preamble to Condition 8 in addition to Conditions 9 to 11, all relate to the use of a
sound limiting device to ensure amplified noise does not exceed the conditioned noise
limits.
2.2 Liquor Act 1992
The Liquor Act 1992 provides a definition for ‘unreasonable noise’. The Act states:
unreasonable noise, in relation to licensed premises, means noise that—
(a) exceeds the limits (if any) prescribed by regulation; or
(b) contravenes a compliance order that applies to the premises; or
(c) contravenes a condition that applies to the licence or permit for the premises.
The Liquor Regulation 2002 details specific noise limits, which constitute unreasonable noise if
exceeded.
2.3 Liquor Regulation 2002
The Liquor Regulation 2002 states within Section 40:
For the definition unreasonable noise in section 4 of the Act, the limits for noise are as
follows—
(a) between 6a.m. and 10p.m.—the adjusted maximum sound pressure level LA10, plus
adjustments for tonal and impulse components, exceeding the background level LA90 by
more than 10dB(A);
Live It Acoustics Page 4
Page 12
Sunshine Beach Surf Life Saving Club #1966d1-B
Acoustic Report (Minor Change Application) 12 August 2025
(b) between 10p.m. and 6a.m.—the sound pressure level LOCT10, in a full octave band
with centre frequencies from 63HZ to 2000HZ, exceeding the background level LOCT90
by more than 8dB in any octave band.
2.4 New Guideline 51 Acoustic Report (ref: #1721d1-C)
Live It Acoustics prepared a new acoustic report in accordance with OLGR Guideline 51 –
Preparing an acoustic report, following alterations made to the licensed premises in 2024. The
report reference is: #1721d1-C, dated: 12 November 2024. This latest report provides:
• Noise testing results at the premises which consider the alterations made to the building
envelope;
• Noise testing results which consider noise generated from the outdoor lawn area, adjacent
to the venue’s ocean and seaside decks; and
• Recommendations for venue management to achieve compliance with the requirements
of the Liquor Regulation 2002 and Liquor Act 1992.
OLGR accepted the recommendations by Live It Acoustics and endorsed new conditions on the
current liquor licence (LL: 86806). A copy of the current liquor licence is provided in Appendix A.
The existing conditions, adopted from the previous acoustic report, are therefore outdated and
are not representative of the current acoustic situation at the premises. Consequently, the existing
conditions should be updated to reflect the current noise conditions endorsed by OLGR.
Section 3 below provides details of the assessment methodology undertaken by Live It Acoustics
and reproduces key components of the acoustic report prepared. The full copy of the acoustic
report is appended in Appendix C.

3 Assessment Methodology
Live It Acoustics conducted a noise assessment at Sunshine Beach Surf Life Saving Club in July
2024, in accordance with the Office of Liquor and Gaming Regulation (OLGR) Guideline 51 –
Preparing an acoustic report. The subsequent acoustic report (ref: #1721d1-C) was issued on 12
November 2024, was accepted by OLGR and used to endorse noise conditions on the current
liquor licence (see Section 4.1).
The assessment involved the investigation of the licensed premises’ amplified sound systems,
licensed areas and configuration of the premises to determine compliance with regulatory
requirements (Liquor Act, Liquor Reg as detailed above in Section 2.2 and Section 2.3) in relation
to noise.
Sections 3.1 to 3.4 below, provides a streamlined description of the assessment methodology
required of the Guideline 51 procedure and the findings of the assessment undertaken.
3.1 Noise Sensitive Receptors
Presented in Figure 2 and Table 1 below (reproduced from the report #1721d1-C) are the
identified nearest noise sensitive receptors to the subject site, which have potential to be impacted
by noise generated by the licensed premises.

Acoustic Report (Minor Change Application) 12 August 2025
3.2 Background Noise Assessment
A background noise assessment was conducted in June 2024 and September 2024. The
background noise assessment was conducted in accordance with Guideline 51 and involved:
• Identification of measurement locations which are representative of the acoustic
environment at each of the identified sensitive receptors.
• Undertaking of background noise measurements at times required of the Guideline 51
procedure. Measurements were taken at the quietest times identified within each of the
time periods between 10am and 12am.
• Measured background noise levels were used to inform noise limits at the sensitive
receptors for the time periods required by OLGR.
3.3 Impact Assessment
Noise impacts at sensitive receptors were determined through onsite noise testing and
calculations. Noise testing was undertaken at the licensed premises over two dates, 01 July 2024
and 22 July 2024. In accordance with Guideline 51, the noise assessment involved:
• Simulation of amplified entertainment noise at the venue through playback of a musical
‘test track’ through each of the venue’s sound systems and proposed entertainment areas.
• Configuration of the venue to set all operable doors and windows open, to assess a worst-
case scenario for noise generation.
• Measurement of noise levels during playback of the test track at various internal and
external measurement locations, including locations representative of noise levels
received at or towards the sensitive receptors, as required by the Guideline 51 procedure.
• Prediction of noise generated by patrons in each of the licensed areas using a prediction
model accepted by OLGR, Prediction of Noise from Small to Medium Sized Crowds, 2011
(M.J Hayne, et al).
Live It Acoustics Page 7
Page 15
Sunshine Beach Surf Life Saving Club #1966d1-B
Acoustic Report (Minor Change Application) 12 August 2025
• Consideration of the cumulative noise impacts at sensitive receptors due to amplified and
non-amplified entertainment noise, patron noise and mechanical plant noise.
3.4 Results & Recommended Limits
The results of assessment involved the recommendation of noise limits for the venue to avoid
‘unreasonable noise’ (as defined in Section 2.3) at the sensitive receptors.
Due to the size and complexity of the licensed premises, noise limits were set and conditioned to
external locations within 25 metres of the venue and in the direction of noise propagation towards
each of the sensitive receptors. These locations are denoted as ‘Close External Monitoring
Locations’ or ‘CEMLs’ as per OLGR terminology. The noise limits calculated at each of the CEMLs
are representative of worst-case cumulative noise emanating from the venue from: amplified
music noise, patron noise and mechanical plant noise. Aerial imagery indicating the locations of
each CEML, is reproduced from the report #1721d1-C below in Figure 3.

4 Discussion
4.1 Noise Conditions Endorsed By OLGR
Following the outcomes of the assessment and acoustic report as detailed in Section 3, OLGR
issued the licensed premises with a liquor licence on 28 April 2025 (Licence number: 86806). A
fully copy of the liquor licence is provided in Appendix A. OLGR included recommendations from
the report #1721d1-C, in relation to noise limits at the CEMLs, in Specific Condition 116582285
reproduced below in Figure 4:
Figure 4. Noise limit conditions endorsed by OLGR (LL: 86806, dated 28 April 2025)
The existing noise limits stated in Noosa Council’s Condition 8(iii) and (iv) are outdated and do not
align with the current endorsed noise limits as shown above. Therefore, the existing conditions
should be updated to align with those endorsed by OLGR.
4.2 Conditions Relating to Sound Limiting Devices
This section provides discussion into the existing conditions endorsed by both Noosa Council and
Office of Liquor and Gaming Regulation, in relation to the use of sound limiting devices.
Table 3 below provides a comparison of the relevant conditions.

necessary calibrated by a qualified acoustic engineer at least
every 12 months to ensure compliance with the conditions of
the license. Evidence of the sound limiting device calibration
must be made available to an investigator or police on request.
4.2.1 Practicality of Sound Limiting Devices
As discussed above in 4.1, the current noise limits for the venue endorsed by OLGR are limits at
the CEMLs, which are locations outside the venue that consider cumulative noise generation,
including amplified and/or non-amplified noise and patron noise. The conditions relating to sound
limiting devices endorsed by both Noosa Council and OLGR, are intended to ensure that noise
from the venue does not exceed the conditioned noise limits. However, this methodology is not
appropriate due to how noise limits at the CEMLs are applied.
Sound limiters are typically installed in the permanent signal chain of the venue's permanent in-
house sound systems. It is of Live It Acoustics understanding that the venue's existing in-house
Live It Acoustics Page 11
Page 19
Sunshine Beach Surf Life Saving Club #1966d1-B
Acoustic Report (Minor Change Application) 12 August 2025
sound system has provisions for this to occur through the system’s software. However, in
circumstances where patron noise alone causes exceedance of noise limits at the CEMLs, a
sound limiting device would be ineffective in reducing noise impacts, as it cannot control noise
generated by patrons.
The venue can also provide amplified entertainment using portable loudspeakers (provided by
booked entertainment) in the ground floor bar and first floor function room, as per the report
#1721d1-C. Any sound limiters installed in the permanent sound system would not operate for
portable loudspeakers as the systems are not linked and thus, any sound limiters installed within
the venue become ineffective in these cases.
Practical management of noise levels at the CEMLs should be included in the venue's noise
management plan, examples such as:
• Periodic checking and record keeping of noise levels at the CEML locations using a
sound level meter. This includes record keeping of any noise complaints received and
noise levels measured by venue staff/management at the time of the complaint.
• Taking proactive measures to reduce noise levels as required, such as:
o closure of doors/windows
o lowering output noise levels of amplified loudspeakers
o encouraging large or noisy groups of patrons to be mindful of the community
and/or dine indoors at times when noise limits are lower (such as after 10:00pm),
at the discretion of the venue manager/duty manager.
These example measures above do not require the use of sound limiting devices to be effective.
Section 5.2 of the venue's Risk Assessed Management Plan (RAMP) already ensures that
mitigation measures are put in place. A copy of the RAMP is provided in Appendix B. Should
operational and management controls be implemented, the venue can comply with the Liquor
Reg without the use of sound limiting devices.
With consideration of the above discussion, the use of sound limiting devices at the venue is
counter-intuitive to the application of the noise limit conditions endorsed by OLGR, in addition to
the configuration of the venue’s licensed areas and potential sound system configurations.
Therefore, it is recommended that all noise conditions related to sound limiting devices are
removed from relevant Noosa Council and OLGR noise conditions.
A detailed list of proposed replacement conditions for the Noosa Council Minor Change
Application, are provided below in Section 5.

5 Recommendations
With consideration to the assessment methodology and discussion provided within this report, it
is recommended that amendments are made to the existing noise conditions stipulated in Noosa
Council’s Decision Notice. Recommendations are detailed below, with the proposed wording of
conditions highlighted in grey:
1. Proposed Amendment to Condition 8, 8(iii) and 8(iv)
The existing approval condition 8, 8(iii) and 8(iv), should be replaced with the following:
8. Noise emanating from the premises, including amplified and/or non-amplified noise and/or
patron noise, must not exceed the following limits, fast response, when measured at the
following close external monitoring locations (CEMLs):
CEML 1 – Located external to the premises between the southern side of the clubhouse
and the residence at 9 Webb Road (residence closest to beach), one metre from the
retaining wall in Ed Webb Park and perpendicular to the retaining wall and the southern-
most point of the clubhouse roof.
This has approximate coordinates of (Latitude -26.40662, longitude -153.11198).
- 61 dBA between 10:00am and 6:00pm
- 56 dBA between 6:00pm and 10:00pm
- 58 dBC between 10:00pm and 12:00am
CEML 2 - Located external to the premises, between the southern side of the clubhouse
and the residence at 7 Webb Road, approximately one metre perpendicular from the
retaining wall in Ed Webb Park and in-line with the beach-side roof line of the residence at
7 Webb Road (roadside residence).
This has approximate coordinates of (Latitude -26.40659, longitude - 153.11171).
- 61 dBA between 10.00 am and 6.00 pm
- 56 dBA between 6.00 pm and 10.00 pm
- 55 dBC between 10.00 pm and 12.00 am
CEML 3 - Located external to the premises on the northern side of the clubhouse, directly
over the tactile `edge of footpath' indicators at the north-east corner of the clubhouse
driveway entry at Belmore Terrace.
This has approximate coordinates of (Latitude -26.40578, longitude - 153.11206).
- 55 dBA between 10.00 am and 6.00 pm
- 56 dBA between 6.00 pm and 10.00 pm
- 63 dBC between 10.00 pm and 12.00 am
Alterations or changes to the premises or landscape that could vary the location of any
CEML's or make their location unidentifiable must not be undertaken without the authority
of Noosa Council and the Commissioner for Liquor and Gaming.

Acoustic Report (Minor Change Application) 12 August 2025
2. Proposed Amendment of Conditions 9, 10 and 11
It is recommended that existing Conditions 9, 10 and 11, which require the use of sound limiting
devices, be removed.
As outlined in Section 4.2.1 of this report, the current conditions are incompatible with the noise
limits endorsed by the Office of Liquor and Gaming Regulation (OLGR). The discussion also
demonstrates that the venue can comply with the Liquor Regulation without the use of sound
limiting devices.
A replacement condition is proposed that supports the use of the licensed premises’ Risk
Assessed Management Plan (RAMP) as the primary tool for managing noise impacts:
9. The premises must comply with Section 5.2 and Section 11 of the Risk Assessed
Management Plan (RAMP), dated November 2024, in relation to procedures for managing
noise and mitigating impacts on the amenity of the surrounding community.
If recommendations (1) and (2) above are implemented in full, and venue management complies
with the resulting conditions, the venue is not expected to generate unreasonable noise as defined
under the Liquor Regulation 2002.
This revised approach removes the requirement for a sound limiting device but retains noise limits
which:
• Considers the current acoustic situation at the premises, including alterations made to the
premises in 2024.
• Considers cumulative noise emanating from the premises.
• Are set at clearly identifiable locations representative of the nearest sensitive receptors.
• Are consistent with the current OLGR-endorsed noise limits.
This ensures the original intent and amenity outcomes of Conditions 8(iii) and 8(iv) and Conditions
9 to 11 are maintained, while providing a more practical and enforceable noise management
framework consistent with current OLGR-endorsed noise limits.

Sunshine Beach Surf Life Saving Club #1966d1-B Acoustic Report (Minor Change Application) 12 August 2025 6 Conclusion This acoustic report has provided evaluation of Noosa Council’s existing noise-related approval conditions for the Sunshine Beach Surf Life Saving Club (MCU17/0024.02), and details proposed amendments to specific conditions (refer to Section 5). The proposed amendments are supported by an acoustic assessment methodology (detailed in Section 3) accepted by the Office of Liquor and Gaming Regulation (OLGR), with subsequent noise conditions endorsed by OLGR on the venue’s current liquor licence. In addition, detailed discussion was provided in Section 4 which further supports the proposed amendments. Should Noosa Council implement the recommendations presented in Section 5 in full and venue management comply with the subsequent conditions, the venue is not expected to generate unreasonable noise as defined in the Liquor Regulation 2002. The intended outcomes of the existing approval conditions would still be maintained, but are updated to be relevant of the venue’s current acoustic situation and align with conditions endorsed by OLGR. Should further information or investigations be required, please contact Live It Acoustics on 1300 775 800.

Entertainment Noise Assessment
1 Introduction
Sunshine Beach SLSCS engaged Live It Acoustics to undertake an Entertainment Noise
Assessment (ENA) at Sunshine Beach Surf Club. This is hereafter referred to as “the venue”.
This assessment aims to ascertain if the venue’s proposed entertainment will comply with
regulatory requirements (Liquor Act, Liquor Reg, Guideline 51) in relation to noise. The Office of
Liquor and Gaming Regulation is responsible for setting noise limits on licensed premises in
Queensland.
Regulation 40 of the Liquor Regulation 2002 (Qld) prescribes that if noise exceeds the following
limits, it is "unreasonable" as defined in the Liquor Act 1992 (Qld):
“Between 6am and 10pm - the adjusted maximum sound pressure level LA10 must not exceed
the background level LA90 by more than 10dB (A) when measured at any affected premises.
Between 10pm and 6am - the sound pressure level LOCT10 in a full octave band with centre
frequencies from 63Hz to 2000Hz, must not exceed the background level, L OCT90, by more than
8dB in any octave band when measured at any affected premises.”
This report provides noise management recommendations to assist the venue in complying with
the above limits. In addition, it will allow the Office of Liquor and Gaming Regulation to condition
the venue objectively in order to avoid “unreasonable noise” as defined in Liquor Regulation
2002.
1.1 Objectives
This assessment aims to achieve the following objectives:
a) Inspect the site and environs and collect relevant site-specific information.
b) Undertake a review of noise policy and regulatory requirements.
c) Identify all representative affected premises (RAPs).
d) Quantify the background noise levels through measurements.
e) Establish suitable noise limits for compliance with the regulatory requirements.
f) Measure noise levels at:
• Close External Noise Monitoring Locations (CEMLs)
• Specific Licensed Premises Areas (SLPAs)
• RAPs or Reference Point Locations (RPLs)
g) Assess the noise impacts from the venue on nearby RAPs.
h) Provide noise management and mitigation measures (if required).

2.2.1 Proposed Outdoor Lawn Area Operations
Currently, there are no loudspeakers installed within the outdoor lawn area. However, venue
management expressed their interest in installing a number of small outdoor speakers
Live It Acoustics | Controlled Document v1.0 Page 7
Page 47
Sunshine Beach Surf Club Reference: #1721d1-C
Belmore Terrace, Sunshine Beach QLD 4567 Date: 12 November 2024
Entertainment Noise Assessment
distributed throughout the outdoor area. The purpose of this is to provide a spread of speakers
to cater for patrons seated throughout the area, rather than a single loudspeaker location driven
at a higher level in order for patrons to adequately hear the signal across the area. To simulate a
distribution of speakers within the outdoor lawn area, Live It Acoustics’ personnel positioned
four (4) omnidirectional Bluetooth speakers as indicated in Figure 2. This is considered to be
representative of typical small-medium outdoor weatherproof speakers.
2.3 Surrounding topography, land uses and potentially affected
premises
The elevations surrounding the venue generally form a downwards G51 Check Item 17 ☐
sloping bowl from the directions of Bryan St (NW of the venue) and Webb
Rd (West of the venue), towards the beach access driveway South of the
venue. This is illustrated in Figure 5 below. As a result, the majority of
potentially affected premises (which consist of a combination of medium-
rise residential units and multi-storey residential houses) are situated at a
higher elevation than the venue, which may have an impact on noise
propagation.
Image source: QLD Globe
Mark-ups: Live It Acoustics
Figure 5. Elevation contours
Onsite observations indicated that the orientation of the noise generating licensed areas and
operable doors/windows, are located on the Eastern and Northeast facing building envelope. As
a result, significant shielding of noise is provided to the Southwest, West, and Northwest
directions from the venue building. Building envelope construction on this side of the building
was observed to comprise of mostly heavy mass construction with no operable doors or
windows to internal licensed areas. Due to this orientation however, it is anticipated that
residential uses directly North and South of the venue would likely be most affected by noise
generated by the venue. Further discussion on identified affected premises is provided below.

It should be noted that the businesses along Duke Street (to the NW of the venue) and 2 Crank
Street were also initially considered as potentially affected premises. However, during the onsite
assessment (discussed further in Section 3) poor signal to noise ratio in these directions, due to
the reasons explained above, meant that noise measurements were not possible. This indicated
that at these distances and due to the orientation of the venue, these premises are unlikely to be
significantly affected by noise generated by the venue. In addition, should noise be controlled at
the affected premises identified in Figure 6 above, it is expected that noise levels would also be
suitably controlled at these premises due to distance separation and additional shielding from
other buildings or structures.

Entertainment Noise Assessment
3 Assessment Methodology
Noise measurements were conducted in accordance with Australian Standard AS1055:2018
Acoustics – Description and measurement of environmental noise and the Department of
Environment and Science Noise Management Manual Version 4.01 (NMM 2020).
For each of the identified RAPs, noise measurement locations were selected within the vicinity of
the venue:
• Representative affected premises test locations
• Reference point test locations (RPLs)
• Close external monitoring locations (CEMLs)
3.1 Representative affected premises
Each measurement location at the RAPs are described in detail in G51 Check Item 21 ☐
Appendix D – Detailed Measurement Locations. Where measurements
were not able to be taken from the RAP property, this is discussed
further below.
Access to the first floor balcony of 7 Webb Road (RAP.2) was requested G51 Check Item 22 ☐
by Live It Acoustics’ personnel during onsite assessments through
consultation with venue management, however access was not
provided. Measurements for this premises were instead taken as close
as possible to the Northern boundary (within the public park) with the
microphone tripod held above head height to increase the height of the
measurement above fence height of the RAP. All other locations (where
adequate signal could be obtained at the RAP) were taken as close as
possible to the property boundary or just inside the property where
access from the street was present. For example, for RAP.5 it was
possible to conduct a measurement within the property on the set of
stairs external to a private balcony, due to the stairs not being gated off
from the public footpath.
3.2 Reference points
The RPLs are presented below in Figure 7.

3.4 Specific licensed premises area
Specific Licensed Premises Area (SLPA) monitoring locations were selected within each
identified entertainment-producing area. The location/s selected was representative of the
loudest point within the specific licensed premises area. The SLPAs are detailed below in
Figure 9, Figure 10 and Figure 11 for each of the floor levels.
It should be noted that a source location was not selected for the Gaming room for the
following reasoning. Levels generated by this area are not expected to contribute to noise
levels received at affected premises relative to all licensed areas adjacent to the building
envelope and those which are external to the building, due to:
• The room is recessed within the building and enclosed by an automatic sliding door.
• The power of the ceiling speakers within the room are less than those situated in
licensed areas open to outdoor areas or situated external to the building.

Sunshine Beach Surf Club Reference: #1721d1-C Belmore Terrace, Sunshine Beach QLD 4567 Date: 12 November 2024 Entertainment Noise Assessment 3.5 Meteorology The Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) Sunshine Coast Airport weather G51 Check Item 29 ☐ station (Station ID: 040861), reports an annual mean 9am wind speed of 17.3km/hr and annual mean 3pm wind speed of 22.1km/hr. A prevailing South-easterly wind direction is a feature of the area surrounding the venue, as per the BOM wind rose for the Sunshine Coast Airport. It is anticipated that RAP.4 and RAP.5 would be most affected by any G51 Check Item 30 ☐ increase in noise levels due to refraction caused by wind in the predominant direction (South-easterly). However, in those cases it would also be expected that noise levels at RAP.1 and RAP.2 would be reduced as they would not be downwind of the venue. During the onsite assessment, wind speed was collected immediately prior to testing recording a wind speed of less than 5 m/s using a Kestrel 2000 anemometer. Wind speed and direction were also acquired from the BOM Sunshine Coast Airport (Station ID: 040861). A summary is provided in Appendix C – Weather Observations. 3.6 Background noise measurements Details over the pre-10pm and post-10pm background noise measurements are provided below in Table 3. Background noise measurements were taken at each of the RAPs, G51 Check Item 33 ☐ where possible. Where access was not able to be provided to the RAP property for the purpose of obtaining background noise measurements, the measurement was taken from the relevant RPL instead. The venue was undergoing maintenance during the dates that G51 Check Item 34 ☐ background noise measurements were conducted. As a result, the venue was not operating and any mechanical plant was identified to either be non-operational and/or inaudible at each measurement location. Mechanical plant is discussed further in Section 3.7.6. Background noise measurements were taken at the specific times shown G51 Check Item 35 ☐ in Table 3, as these dates and times were considered to have the lowest background noise level within each time period.

Continuous ocean noise (waves crashing) were observed to be a feature of the ambient
acoustic environment surrounding the venue. Observations onsite and measurement data
indicated that the overall level of ocean noise increased at measurement points situated closer
to the ocean. Overall variances observed in the measurement data between pre-10pm and
post-10pm assessment periods were minor (no greater than 3 dB fluctuation), also indicated
that the ambient noise levels are generally consistent in the area at night due to the effects of
ocean noise.

Entertainment Noise Assessment
3.7.2 Sound system configuration during testing
Three (3) sound system scenarios were tested individually: G51 Check Item 39 ☐
• All in-house sound systems operating cumulatively
• Ground Floor portable PA operating only
• Function Room portable PA operating only
The purpose of these test scenarios were to determine the individual
contribution of noise levels at each affected premises from each of the
above key noise sources. A test signal was played through the
loudspeaker systems during each scenario, for the purpose of measuring
intrusive noise levels at the locations described in Sections 3.1 to 3.4.
The source material was selected to be representative of the type of
music proposed to be played at the venue. The selected source material
for the intrusive tests was Mella Dee – “Techno Disco Tool”.
The portable PA speakers used (as detailed in Table 4) generated
significant noise levels throughout the venue and were observed to
dominate low frequency noise levels received at the affected premises
when compared to the scenario where only the in-house sound system
was operating. For example, at Location 2 (L2), the level measured at
63Hz when the portable PA speakers were operating at ground level was
7 dB higher than levels measured at 63Hz when only the in-house sound
system was operating. This finding indicates that booked entertainment
providing their own sound system may have potential to dominate low
frequency noise levels external to the premises, depending on the power
of portable PA speakers brought into the venue by entertainment.
Due to the observed configuration of the venue’s sound system, it is
highly unlikely for portable standalone PA speakers on the stage within
the Main Bar Lounge (ground floor) to operate concurrently with the
surrounding in-house distributed sound system. The two systems would
not be linked and as a result, any signal played through the systems
would be independent of one another and clash.
With regard to cumulative noise, a -3 dB adjustment is applied in Section
4 to noise limits to consider concurrent operation of both the ground floor
and function room standalone portable PA speaker entertainment. This is
discussed further in Section 4. The lowest noise limit calculated at the
CEMLs across each of the 3 scenarios (plus patron noise, refer to
Section 3.8) is considered the final maximum noise limit at the CEML.
This is expected to suitably address cumulative noise generated by the
venue.

Sunshine Beach Surf Club Reference: #1721d1-C Belmore Terrace, Sunshine Beach QLD 4567 Date: 12 November 2024 Entertainment Noise Assessment 3.7.3 Meteorological conditions during testing Wind speed was collected immediately prior to and following the set of G51 Check Item 40 ☐ intrusive measurements, recording a wind speed of less than 5 m/s using a Kestrel 2000 anemometer. 3.7.4 Method of conducting intrusive noise measurements Intrusive noise measurements were taken at each of the locations G51 Check Item 41 ☐ described in Section 3.1 to 3.4. The source material was played through the sound systems and set at a sufficiently loud volume so that the signal was clearly audible and measurable at the RAPs. Where the signal was not audible at an identified RAP, the measurement was still undertaken as a precaution, along with RPLs and CEMLs relevant to the RAP. 3.7.5 Exclusion of extraneous noise events Extraneous noise events experienced during intrusive noise G51 Check Item 42 ☐ measurements included: road traffic movements, pedestrian noise and birdsong. These noise events were excluded through the use of post- processing of the data (removal of contaminated data and recalculation of the L10 noise descriptor) or using a back-erase function on the sound level meter during intrusive measurements. The back erase function allows acoustic consultants to erase the last 5-seconds of noise measurements where the consultant identifies extraneous noise. 3.7.6 Mechanical plant noise Mechanical plant associated with the venue was identified to be located G51 Check Item 44 ☐ on a rooftop plant adjacent to the function room. Mechanical plant was observed to be a combination of refrigeration and air-conditioning equipment, servicing the kitchen and various rooms throughout the building. Mechanical plant was observed to be operating during the intrusive assessment site visits. However, due to the surrounding ambient acoustic environment and noise generated by amplified music sound sources during testing, noise from the plant deck was not considered to be audible. As discussed briefly in Section 3.6, during the background noise assessment the venue was not operating and any remaining mechanical plant was determined to be not audible at the background noise measurement locations. 3.8 Patron noise To determine the level of noise being caused by patrons, a prediction G51 Check Item 44 ☐ model for patron noise was prepared using the methodology outlined in Live It Acoustics | Controlled Document v1.0 Page 25

Belmore Terrace, Sunshine Beach QLD 4567 Date: 12 November 2024
Entertainment Noise Assessment
Prediction of Noise from Small to Medium Sized Crowds, 2011 (M.J
Hayne, et al).
A crowd size of 100 patrons within each outdoor specific licensed area
was applied for this prediction. This value is aligned with the approximate
maximum quantity supported by the study. Given the size of outdoor
areas within the venue (Ocean/Seaside decks, function room balcony
and outdoor lawn area), it is considered that these amounts also result in
a generally conservative assessment.
No adjustments for crowd orientation were applied.
Spreadsheet calculations were conducted to predict the sound pressure
level received at the RAPs due to patron noise. To convert sound power
levels to sound pressure levels at the RAPs, the following formula was
used:
𝐿𝑝 = 𝐿𝑤 − 20 lg 𝑟 − 11 + 𝐷𝐼
Where:
r = distance from noise source
DI = directivity index (assumed to be 0 dB).
For the distance input, the shortest distance between the closest outdoor
area (where patrons are expected to be located) to each RAP was
calculated using a combination of QGIS and Queensland Government
aerial imagery.
The predicted sound pressure levels were converted to octave band
spectra, utilising the ‘Raised’ voice spectra detailed in the AAAC
Licensed Premises Guideline (V2).
Patron noise levels were predicted at the CEMLs, RPLs and RAP
measurement locations. The cumulative amplified entertainment and
patron noise intrusive level at these locations was then calculated using
decibel log addition. The results of the above equation were input into the
Guideline 51 calculations (refer to Appendix B – Calculation Summaries)
to provide an intrusive noise level due to amplified entertainment and
patron noise.

4 Results and Discussion
4.1 Summary of findings
No major acoustical issues were identified during testing. G51 Check Item 47 ☐
Compliance should be monitored at the CEMLs where possible. The
purpose of this is to provide flexibility to the licensee with regard to the
specific configuration of the venue, provided that the limits at the CEMLs
are not exceeded. This approach also aims to minimise cumbersome
noise conditions, such as “XX dBA when X doors and X windows are
closed, etc.”.
4.2 Recommended close external noise limits
Presented below are the summarised noise limits at the CEMLs, based upon the calculations
provided in Appendix B – Calculation Summaries. The limits presented indicate the calculated
level limit for the venue operating configuration as described in Section 3.7. Measurements
should be made at the CEML in either dBA (before 10:00PM) or dBC (after 10:00PM) using
‘Fast’ time weighting.

5 Conclusion and Recommendations
A noise assessment was conducted at Sunshine Beach Surf Club by Live It Acoustics
personnel.
The assessment demonstrated that noise emanating from the venue could produce nuisance
noise at the representative affected premises if noise levels at the source are not managed.
Therefore, to comply with the requirements of the Office of Liquor and Gaming Regulation with
regards to amplified entertainment at the venue, the following recommendations should be
adhered to: G51 Check Item 52 ☐
1. Noise emanating from the premises, including amplified and/or non-amplified noise
must not exceed the following levels, fast response, when measured at:
Location 2 (L2) –

a) 61 dBA between 10:00AM and 6:00PM.
b) 56 dBA between 6:00PM and 10:00PM.
c) 58 dBC between 10:00PM and 12:00AM.
Location 3 (L3) –

lat/long: -26.40659, 153.11171
a) 61 dBA between 10:00AM and 6:00PM.
b) 56 dBA between 6:00PM and 10:00PM.
c) 55 dBC between 10:00PM and 12:00AM.
Location 6 (L6) -
Directly over tactile indicators at edge of footpath and carpark entry.
GDA2020 lat/long: -26.40578, 153.11206
a) 55 dBA between 10:00AM and 6:00PM.
b) 56 dBA between 6:00PM and 10:00PM.
c) 63 dBC between 10:00PM and 12:00AM.
2. If noise measurements are unable to be taken at the locations identified in Item 1 (the
CEMLs), noise measurements should be taken at 3 metres from the primary sound
source (the SLPAs). Noise limits at the SLPAs are indicated in Table 7.
Should further information be required, do not hesitate to contact Live It Acoustics.
