5 Discussion of Observations
                     The activities at the premises during the noise monitoring period have been
                     provided by the operator and are shown in Appendix B.
                     There were diners and takeaway orders on each evening during the noise
                     monitoring between the nominated operating hours of 5:00 pm – 9:00 pm,
                     Wednesday – Sunday (although some nights the actual operating hours were
                     shorter).
                     The observed noise sources at the premises and their respective noise levels in
                     Table 2 indicate that most sound from the premises is below the measured LA10
                     and LAeq levels, and that the louder sounds were from vehicles driving along
                     Kingsgate Drive and Sunrise Road, and the dog at the residence on the site.
                     The logger-measured noise levels presented as charts in Appendix A do not
                     present the operation of the premises as being obvious in the ambient noise
                     environment, with all noise indices generally decreasing as the evening
                     progresses as would be expected in most rural-residential environments i.e. if
                     there was significant noise from the premises during operation, an increase in, or
                     at least maintenance of the noise indices throughout the operating hours of the
                     premises would be expected to some degree.
                     Moreover, the noise indices also show that existing noise levels with the premises
                     operating achieve the external Acoustic Quality Objectives and, taking into account
                     the additional distance attenuation of 3-6 dB between the measurement location
                     and the adjoining residence proper (not the car port), the noise levels are also
                     considered to comply with the required internal criteria (assuming 10dB(A)
                     reduction from outside – inside) presented in Table 1. Comparison of the
                     measured noise levels with the criteria are provided in Table 4.
