6. Acoustic Report

The auditory effects of the proposed increase in Use area and extended operating hours have been
assessed and the findings detailed in the enclosed acoustic report (Appendix B) prepared by Road Pro.

The acoustic assessment found that,

        The proposed café/restaurant can be operated in a manner that achieves the Outcomes of the
        Noosa Plan i.e. without adverse effects on noise in the area.

        The measures required to do this are predominately operational in nature, and are therefore
        dependent on staff being very aware of the potential for noise generation, and pro-actively
        addressing it as required.

        Suggestions have been made to address potential noise sources, however these shouldn’t be
        considered to be exhaustive. In particular, the outdoor dining area could be improved considerably
        from an acoustical viewpoint with relatively simple additional construction.

The proposed changes pose no adverse impacts on the surrounding properties and land uses.


7. Restaurant Use Area

The proposed Entertainment and Dining Business - Type 1 Food & Beverages use comprises of a
modernisation of the internal and external fit-out of the existing food preparation and dining facilities,
and a change to the approved Use area of Unit 3. As per the enclosed architectural plans (Appendix A),
and artistic renderings (Appendix C) the proposal includes external and internal dining arrangements, take
away and gelato facilities. The proposed Use area is 67m2 and is able to be supported through the
adequate provision of carparking infrastructure as calculated in Table 1.

No increase to the building envelope is proposed. The refurbishment presents a contemporary design
which respects and complements the built form of surrounding development and the site’s coastal
context. The proposal will not result in any major disturbance to surrounding and adjacent land uses.
