licenced dining area) and distillery are activities that do not negatively impact adjacent properties.

Furthermore, in an honest attempt in maintaining the Outdoor Sport and Recreational use
component of the site, Crackerjack has recently signed a 90-year licence agreement with Cooroy
Community Bowls Club (refer to Appendix C).




The proposed reconfiguration of the existing use areas and ancillary uses on the site is a necessity
if the existing operation is to adapt to the changing needs and economic trends in Cooroy, and
more broadly the Noosa region.

3.4 Acoustic Impacts

An acoustic assessment and report has been prepared by Live It Acoustics and enclosed within
Appendix B. The report details the existing acoustic environment, identifies sensitive receptors and
potential noise-generating activities, and provides recommendations regarding noise
management and mitigation measures.

The Acoustic report demonstrates that with the implementation of the recommendations, the
potential noise impacts upon the nearest sensitive receptors (adjacent residential properties) will
be within Council’s assessment benchmarks.

With the relocation of the eastern outdoor dining and DOSA area to the western side of the
building within the identified bowlers’ refreshment area, the potential noise impacts can be limited
by simple patron management controls.
