2.1 Noise Assessment Limits

The assessment criteria for noise levels emanating from all areas of licensed premises are defined
by the Liquor Act 1992 (the Act) and Liquor Regulation 2002 (the Regulation) as follows:

    •   Between 6:00am and 10:00pm, the adjusted maximum sound pressure level LAIO,plus
        adjustments for tonal and impulse components, must not exceed the background level LA90
        by more than 10dB(A) when measured at any affected premises.

    •   Between 10:00pm and 6:00am, the sound pressure level Loct'0, in a full octave band with
        centre frequencies from 63Hz to 2000Hz must not exceed the background level, LocJ9(J,
                                                                                            by
        more than BdB in any octave bands when measured at any affected premises.

2.2 Methodology

Site visit and background and operational noise measurements were undertaken on the 2nd of May
2015 (Saturday). Background noise measurements were also carried out on the 9th to the 10th of
June 2015 (Tuesday and Wednesday). Procedures specified in Guideline for Acoustical Consultants
- When Assessing Noise Associated with Entertainment and Patrons at Premises Licensed Under

which is the nearest noise sensitive place to the Village Bicycle cafe, as presented in Figure 2.1 and
in Appendix A (Photos 5, 6, 7 and 8).
