Crackerjack - Other Change Planning Report

3.5 Adjoining Land Uses

Crackerjack is committed to being a responsible and considerate venue and has become aware
of recent grievances made by adjacent residential properties along the eastern boundary with
respect to the potential noise impacts.

Whilst the “outdoor seating area” and therefore associated use and noise was identified by
Council in the Planning and Environment Committee Meeting Report 7 March 2017 (MCU16/0117)
prior to approval and construction of the adjacent residential use; Crackerjack is exploring various
strategies to minimise the perceived noise disruption.

The aforementioned Acoustic report (Appendix B) has informed the nature of this proposed Other
Change.

The relocation of the outdoor dining area from the eastern courtyard to the bowlers’ refreshment
area identified within the proposed plans (Appendix A) will reduce the potential for noise
disruption to the adjacent residential properties.

By shifting the dining area to the western side, Crackerjack aims to mitigate the perceived noise
impact while also improving the functionality of the bowls club’s facilities.
