Noise impacts to all receivers from amplified entertainment inside the hotel are predicted to
comply with the assessment criteria before 10pm. This is assuming all external windows and
doors closed and a 22dB reduction from inside the hotel to outside is achieved.

Predicted noise impacts to all receivers from amplified entertainment on the hotel terrace are
predicted to exceed the assessment criteria before 10pm. To achieve compliance for this area, the
noise source level at 3m must be reduced and be no higher than 91 dB(C).
