accumulated noise level emission from numerous facilities and sources to be assessed
simultaneously.

Consequently the noise level limits are as follows:

         Daytime: LAeq of 36 dB(A) (component limit 34 dB(A))
         Evening: LAeq of 35 dB(A) (component limit 33 dB(A))
         Nighttime: LAeq of 35 dB(A) (component limit 33 dB(A))

3.2.2 Sleep Disturbance

World Health Organisation document entitled “Guidelines for Community Noise” (WHO, 1999)
recommends that to avoid sleep disturbance within bedrooms, indoor guideline values of 45 dB LAmax
should be adopted for single sound events.

Therefore an internal noise level goal of 45 dB(A) LAmax has been used to assess the potential for
sleep disturbance from industry to the southeast of the site.

3.3 OGLR

Liquor Act 1992 defines "unreasonable noise” in section 187(5). The Regulation 40 of the Liquor
Regulation 2002 sets the limits for noise as follows -

          Between 6.00 am and 10.00 pm - the adjusted maximum sound pressure level LA10, plus
          adjustments for tonal and impulse components, must not exceed the background level L A90 by
          more than 10 dB(A) when measured at any affected premises.

          Between 10.00 pm and 6.00 am - the sound pressure level LOCT10, in a full octave band with
          centre frequencies from 63 Hz to 2000 Hz must not exceed the background level, L OCT90, by
          more than 8 dB in any octave band when measured at any affected premises.

The Act does not differentiate between indoor and outdoor areas of affected premises and
"premises" is defined in section 4 of the Act as follows:

          premises includes-
          (a) land; and
          (b) a building or structure on or in land; and
          (c) a vehicle, boat, aircraft, train or other means of transport.

This standard therefore applies to all areas of affected premises including indoor and outdoor areas.

Council provides guidance on the placement of tennis courts within its Planning Scheme Policy 8—
Tennis and Other Courts (PSP8). The policy states that it is applicable to courts regardless of
whether they are for private, commercial or community use. Table 2.1 of the policy defines
