                                                                             MCU to establish Retail Business – Type 2
                                                                                        1 Kingsgate Drive, Tinbeerwah




The acoustic consultant went further to include within Section 6 – Suggestions for improvement.

         Although the noise levels from the premises achieve the noise criteria, the following measures can be
         considered to attenuate noise further at the adjoining residence:

         Car Park Noise (Kingsgate Drive frontage)
                   •
                   Fix additional palings to the approximately 1.5 m high fence adjoining the carpark at the front
                   of the premises. The palings should be offset to the existing ones such that the fence becomes
                   a solid acoustic barrier.
         Patron Noise
                   •     Remove all chairs/tables from the veranda facing Kingsgate Drive.
                   •     Close the dining area windows on the Kingsgate Drive frontage when groups are using the
                         dining area.

The acoustic report is clearly able to demonstrate that the proposed use poses no adverse auditory impacts on
the surrounding properties and land uses.



5.5        Hours of Operation
Given the use approved for this site and the proposed decrease of scale and capacity, the existing hours of
operation are considered too restrictive and financially unviable. The proposed hours of operation for the small
take-away shop are listed below in Table 2.

Table 2: Proposed Hours of Operation.
                       Monday      Tuesday     Wednesday      Thursday       Friday        Saturday        Sunday
 Opening               7:00AM      7:00AM       7:00AM         7:00AM       7:00AM          7:00AM         7:00AM
 Closing               9:00PM      9:00PM       9:00PM         9:00PM       9:00PM          9:00PM         9:00PM

The proposed hours of operation are reasonable about the sufficient provision of existing carparking
infrastructure and the findings of the acoustic report.

The proposed hours of operation as per Table 2 reflect a change from the current use and hours of operation,
and pose no adverse impacts on the surrounding properties and land uses. The proposed hours of operation
permit the Shop to better serve the residents and tourists of the Hinterland surrounds.
