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.
