8.         Recommendations
8.1        Management Strategies for On-site Transient Noise
The following management strategies are recommended to be implemented to minimise noise
annoyance:

      Waste removal should be between the hours of 7am - 6pm, where possible;
      Surface finish of drive way for grade should be low-squeal i.e. no polished or painted
     concrete etc;
      No metal speed bumps, and should be built into the finished surface of the car park;
      Any grates or other protective covers in the car parks and access driveways must be rigidly
     fixed in position to eliminate clanging. And be maintained.


8.2 Amplified Music and Live Entertainment
A summary of the recommended noise levels for each area and time period is provided for the
operation of the tavern as follows:

Table 28: Amplified Music and Entertainment Noise Limits

     Time Period              Location              Noise Limit dB(C) at 3m from the speakers

      After 10pm          inside the hotel

                          on hotel terrace


Notes:
To utilise the above the noise limit for music inside the hotel, all external windows and doors are
to be closed during periods of amplified music or live band performances. The noise limits assume
that the predicted 22 dB attenuation for indoors to outdoors is achieved.
The stated noise limits are 3m from the speakers.
The above noise limits are a guide only. Compliance tests should be conducted by a suitably
qualified and experienced acoustic consultant once the tavern is operational to ensure criteria
levels are achieved at the nearest noise sensitive premises.
