Figure 3            Background Noise Measurement Location

A measurement carried out at approximately 10:15 pm recorded a background LA90
noise level of 34 dB(A), and a second measurement carried out at approximately
1:15 am recorded a background noise level of 29 dB(A).
Ambient noise sources noted during the measurements were distant surf noise (only
audible during the later night-time), occasional vehicular traffic, and occasional flying
foxes. It is expected that the observed noise levels present a “worst case” (quietest
background) scenario, as it was a Monday evening outside of holidays, there was no
air movement, and the ambient temperature was estimated to be less than 15⁰C.
This results in less natural and human activity generally, but also fewer
neighbourhood mechanical plant (air conditioners) running.
While this assessment is not intended for submission as part of the Liquor Licence for
the café/restaurant, noise criteria that are generally consistent with the Liquor
Regulation 2000 are considered to be appropriate due to their historical and
effective application to noise from a broad range of hospitality venues in
Queensland. The noise criteria adapted from the Liquor Regulation 2000 for the site
are:
          Between 6.00am and 10.00pm – LA10, adj ≤ background level LA90 + 10dB(A)
          Between 10.00pm and 6.00am - LA10, adj ≤ background level LA90 + 5dB(A)
