1. Introduction

1.1 Background

ATP Consulting Engineers was engaged by One Free Ride Trust to prepare an acoustic report
(Noise Impact Assessment from Amplified Music or Voice Associated with Entertainment at
Premises Licensed Under the Liquor Act 1992) for the Village Bicycle Cafe at Shop 1, 2 Botllebrush
Avenue in Noosa Heads.

This acoustic report is to support an application for amended liquor license for Village Bicycle Cafe
demonstrating that under busy operations, and with appropriate noise control measures, the noise
emissions from the cafe do not exceed the limits defined under the Liquor Act 1992 and Liquor
Regulation 2002.

ATP Consulting Engineers carried out site specific background and operational noise measurements
to determine the noise emissions from Village Bicycle cafe and the impact on the existing noise
amenity at the nearest noise sensitive places. In addition noise propagation modelling was carried
out to design appropriate control measures for patron noise emissions from the outdoors dining area
as per the specific information request by the Office of Liquor and Gaming Regulation (OLG).

1.2 Study Objectives

Study objectives are as follows:

    •   Carry out site specific noise measurements to obtain information about the existing noise
        amenity in the area, and the noise levels associated with music and patrons from Village
        Bicycle cafe;

    •   Assess the measured noise levels against the criteria from the Guideline for Acoustical
        Consultants When Assessing Noise Associated with Entertainment and Patrons at Premises
        Licensed Under the Liquor Act 1992 ([he Guideline); and

    •   Provide recommendations to ensure noise emanating from the premises is controlled at all
        times and remains within the limits set out in this report so as not to cause unreasonable
        impact on the nearest noise sensitive places.


1.3 Location of Premises

 Village Bicycle has been established and operating under On Premises Licence No. 167243 since
the 2200 of April 2014 with trading hours of 4:00pm to 12:00am Monday-Sunday.             The initial
application for liquor licence has not been supported by an acoustic report, thus Standard Condition
LL250 of the liquor licence imposes the following condition:

    •   Noise emanating from the premises including amplified and non-amplified noise and patron
        noise must not exceed 75dB(C), fast response, when measured approximately 3 metres from
        the primary source of the noise.
