8.2          Management Strategies
The following management strategies are recommended:
     a. Operating hours as outlined in Section 3.1 (which are predominately in accordance with the code
        acceptable outcomes).

     b. Balconies to have solid balustrades at Receiver A (all southwest façades) and Receiver D (northeast
        facade) .

     c. Amplified music for restaurants to be limited to low level background music only.

     d. Any speed humps should be bitumen, concrete (as part of the slab) or rubber, not metal.
