          f.      A minimum Rw 34 (i.e. 10.76mm laminate in acoustic grade frames and acoustic
                  seals) must be used for all new external windows and glass doors of the function
                  / dining extension, children’s lounge and the new alfresco lounge.
          g.      New external walls of areas where amplified entertainment is proposed should
                  be constructed to achieve a minimum Rw rating of 50.
          h.      Roof/ceiling of areas where amplified entertainment is proposed should be
                  constructed to achieve a minimum Rw rating of 50.
          i.      At the time of installation, new mechanical plant and equipment, a/c units, motors,
                  refrigeration equipment, compressors, pumps etc associated with Stage 4 of the
                  development, should be installed within the building or suitably provided with
                  noise reduction measures and located as to prevent a noise nuisance beyond
                  the boundary of the site and not exceed the levels specified in Table 1.
                                                 TABLE 1
                                    NOISE LIMITS AT A SENSITIVE RECEPTOR
                               Noise level at noise sensitive place measured as the adjusted
                PERIOD
                                         maximum sound pressure level (L10, adj,T)
           7am – 6pm                        Background noise level (L90,T) plus 5 dB(A)
          6pm – 10pm                          Background noise level plus 5 dB(A)
          10pm – 7am                         Background noise level plus 3 dB(A)
                                    NOISE LIMITS AT A COMMERCIAL PLACE
                                Noise level at a commercial place measured as the adjusted
                PERIOD
                                         maximum sound pressure level (L10, adj,T)
          7am – 6pm                         Background noise level (L90,T) plus 10 dB(A)
          6pm – 10pm                           Background noise level plus10 dB(A)
          10pm – 7am                            Background noise level plus 8 dB(A)

    Acoustic Report
    21.   An acoustic report prepared by a suitably qualified person* is to be submitted to Council
          confirming assessment and certification of measured noise levels from the new
          mechanical plant and equipment, a/c units, motors, refrigeration equipment,
          compressors, pumps etc comply with the noise limits as set out in Table 1 and all other
          relevant noise conditions of this Decision Notice associated with Stage 4 of the
          development.
    22.   The report is to be submitted after commissioning any new equipment (with all plant
          and equipment operating at the same time) and when all building extensions are
          complete.
    23.   Measurement of sound pressure levels (adjusted for tonality and impulse) must be in
          accordance with Australian Standard AS1055.1 “Acoustics – Description and
          measurement of environmental noise – General procedures”.
          Suitably Qualified Person* - Certification
          For the purpose of measuring and certifying compliance with relevant noise conditions
          of this Decision Notice, a suitably qualified person is either:
          i.      a Registered Professional Engineer of Queensland, or
          ii.     an environmental consultant with a minimum of three (3) years current
                  experience in the field of acoustics.
