8.2.1      Amplified Music Management Strategies

Additional to the above limits, the following strategies are recommended to control noise
associated with live entertainment / amplified music at the tavern.

        Permanent speakers used for live entertainment and amplified music shall be mounted on
         vibration isolation mounts (i.e. Embleton NRD and NHD isolation mounts).
        Management to prevent boisterous behaviour in outdoor common areas. The
         recommended hours of use rely on normal, lawful behaviour of patrons to ensure that
         occupants of the neighbouring premises are not affected by noise.
        Management will ensure that all surrounding residents are supplied with contact details
         of the facility (phone number, and name of Manager), and if a complaint is made by
         adjacent residents, that the call is dealt with in a sympathetic manner, and noise is abated
         immediately.
        Management controls should be utilised to manage patron departure particularly at night
         and at closing times to ensure that patrons leaving the tavern do so in a prompt and
         orderly manner.
        Prominent notices shall be placed to remind patrons that a minimum amount of noise is
         to be generated when leaving the premises.
        We suggest the Installation of Noise Limiting Devices in the tavern, the unit will be
         connected to the power system that the band or amplified music will use to prevent non-
         compliance.
        The noise limits assume that the predicted 22 dB attenuation for indoors to outdoors is
         achieved.



8.2.2      Tavern Building Shell Treatments

To ensure the operation of the tavern will protect existing environmental values and residential
amenity, upgraded building shell treatments have been recommended as specified below:

Glazing Treatments

We recommend all glazing achieve a minimum of RW30. This would require a minimum of 6.38mm
laminated glazing with acoustic seals installed. Operable windows and doors should be fitted with
acoustic grade seals or gaskets to maximize the performance of installed glazing treatments.
Other glazing systems may be used provided it achieves the required RW30 rating.

External Wall Treatments

We recommend all external walls achieve a minimum of RW40. Typical wall construction to
achieve the required rating includes masonry or, external cladding on battens, sarking, 16mm fire
rated plasterboard externally, minimum R2.0 75mm thick glasswool batts or equivalent and 1
layer of 10mm plasterboard internally. Other wall construction may be used provided it achieves
the required RW40 rating.
