5.3 Tennis Court

The tennis court operational hours are during the daytime and evening (7 am to 10 pm). The
separation to the nearest sensitive receiver is approximately 200 m. This separation is well within
the setback proposed by Council of 20 m.

In addition a typical tennis court LAeq noise emission sound power level of 91 dB(A) (Federal Ministry
of Economics of the Land of Baden-Württemberg, 2013) corresponds to a predicted noise level of
less than 33 dB(A) at the nearest sensitive receiver. This noise level is within ‘background plus’ limits
proposed within Section 3.2.1 as well as tennis court criteria previously utilised by BCC and
nominated within Section 3.4. The potential noise impact of the tennis court is assumed to be
acceptable given that it is to be used during the daytime and evening and the predicted noise level.

5.4 Waste Collection

Waste is stored onsite and then transferred during the daytime to the Moorindil Street boat ramp.
Waste is stored in plastic wheelie bins under the boathouse which is located on the northeast
boundary of the island. Management advised MRG that bottles are not collected and deposited in
the holding bins during the evening and nighttime period (6 pm to 7 am).

Noise emissions are not considered significant given the refuse collection is limited to the daytime (7
am to 6 pm) and storage of waste is conducted at the far side of the island to sensitive receivers. It
should be noted that refuse transport via water vessel has been previously considered in Section 5.2.

5.5 Amplified Music Assessment

The assessment of amplifed music has been presented in Table 5.3 as recommended by the OLGR.
The amplified music test did not assess speakers located at the tennis court and it is recommended
that they be limited to during the daytime and evening period at 75 dB(C).

                                    Table 5.3: Amplified Music Assessment
Instrumentation:                           Equipment:
                                           Larson Davis LD 831 sound level meter
                                           NC-73 Rion Calibrator
Calibration Results:                       All equipment hold current NATA calibration and was also field
                                           calibrated prior and post testing with no significant drift noted.
Equipment Settings:                        Fast response, linear.
Detailed description of premises:          Refer to Section 1.2, 1.4.
Detailed description of the location:      Refer to 1.1.
Atmospheric conditions:                    15 to 17 degrees C, light southwesterly breezes
Plan:                                      Appendix A and B for configuration during testing.
Comment on background noise:               Background noise level measurements were conducted at Location
                                           N1. Noise levels were measured in the absence of amplifed music
                                           from the premises.
Comment on readings:                       Intrusive noise levels measurements were conducted for:
                                                 Stereo system, refer Appendix A
                                                 Media room, refer Appendix B
