         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
    2021. 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.
    2122. 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.
    2223. 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.
         Outdoor Lighting Devices
    2324. Lighting associated with the use must be designed, sited, installed and tested to
          comply with Table 2.1 & 2.2 of Australian Standard AS4282-1997 “Control of the
          obtrusive effects of outdoor lighting” using a control level of 1 and not cause a nuisance
          to the adjacent residential areas.
