Minor Change Report MCU17 0024 03 (As Published) · MCU17/0024.03

               Additionally, this application seeks to delete Conditions 9, 10, and 11, which currently mandate the
               use of a sound limiting device and related reporting. As established in Acoustic Report 2, sound
               limiting devices are ineffective in controlling noise generated by patrons, which is a significant
               component of overall noise emissions.
               Assessment of Request
               The request was forwarded to Council’s Peer consultant for comment.
               Peer assessment of request
               Councils consultant advised that:
               Given that the current Liquor Licence (86806) includes the below conditions LL262, LL263 and
               LL264 which all require a Sound Limiting Device, I do not agree with the request to delete
               Conditions 9, 10 and 11. It is best, in my opinion, for Council to maintain these practical conditions
               re noise limiting management.




                                             Figure 2 - OLGR current site conditions


               It is standard, in my experience for OLGR to require sound limiting devices, even with venue with
               noise limits set under Guideline 51 with CEML noise limits.
               The requirement for removal of the SLD is not supported and is included within the OLGR
               conditions. The request for deletions of the conditions is not supported.
               Recommendation
               It is recommended existing conditions remain unchanged.

               5.     CONCLUSION & REASONS FOR DECISION
               The proposed development generally complies with the requirements of the planning scheme and
               does not raise any significant issues that cannot be addressed by reasonable and relevant
               conditions. The application is therefore recommended for approval.
               The report is provided in accordance with Section 83(9) of the Planning Act 2016.
