Condition 9

9.       All guests must have vacated the premises by no later than 10:30pm.

Comment
As noted above, our client seeks additional time for guests to vacate the premises. Our client has advised that based on
their event management experience it is not realistic or feasible for event operators to ensure all guests vacate the
premise within 30 minutes after the event ends. While it is accepted that the use and amplified music ends at 10pm as
per condition 8, it is requested to extend the time permitted for all guests to be off the site from 10:30pm to 11pm as
this will ensure that there are no minor breaches of the conditions of approval as a result of some guests slightly
exceeding the 10.30pm cut off point to leave the premises. The revised time will mitigate frivolous complaints whilst
maintaining the general intent of the original condition and still maintaining compliance with the required night time
noise limits as demonstrated with the approved noise assessment.

Amend Condition 9
9.    All guests must have vacated the premises by no later than 11 10:30pm.

Condition 10
10.     Functions must not occur on a gazetted Queensland public holiday, or on a Sunday unless followed by a gazetted
Queensland public holiday.

Comment
As some public holidays may fall on a Friday depending on the calendar year, our client requests an exemption to permit
events to be held on public holidays on Friday, similar to events being permitted on a Sunday where followed by a public
holiday. Our client advises that, based on their event management experience, when public holidays occur on a Friday
these days have proved popular for holding events due to the logistics and convenience of holding an event on a long
weekend. Considering that public holidays only occasionally occur on a Friday, it would be appreciated if the condition
includes greater flexibility to accommodate occasional events on public holidays only where it falls on a Friday, subject
to any other laws which may regulate activities on a public holiday.

Amend Condition 10
 10.    Functions must not occur on a gazetted Queensland public holiday (except where the public holiday falls on a
Friday and subject to any other laws which regulate activities on the public holiday), or on a Sunday unless followed by
a gazetted Queensland public holiday.

Condition 20
20.    Where complaints (other than frivolous or vexatious complaints) are made to Council about noise from the
       approved use, Council may require the site management entity to:
       a.     submit a Noise Impact Assessment prepared by a suitably qualified, and/or
       b.     undertake further noise amelioration measures or operations, install volume limiting devices or barriers
              and/or shield or relocate mechanical plant and equipment and have such measures certified by a
              suitably qualified person.
