ltr_Response to Council IR_Final 190430

The report has not completed an analysis of mechanical plant. Requirements for plant can reasonably
be conditioned.
The report specifically states this in relation to mechanical plant:
        This report is limited to patron and music noise only. Mechanical plant such as refrigeration,
        kitchen exhaust fans and air conditioning equipment may be installed as part of the
        development and may cause noise emission issues at sensitive receivers. As the types of new
        mechanical plant are not yet known, it is recommended that all new proposed plant is
        designed by a qualified acoustical consultant before installation and certified for compliance by
        testing prior to the commencement of use.



      Item 11: Provide distance calculations to demonstrate how expected noise levels
             from the bar area will meet the target residential boundary noise levels.

Response:
This information is provided in Figure 6, Figure 7 and Table 6 of the Acoustic Report submitted with
the development application.



      Item 12: Provide noise level limitations from any amplified music necessary to
             meet the targeted residential noise limits.

Response:
The proposed use is a Restaurant, not a Bar. Modelling in the Acoustic Report shows noise from
patron may be more dominant than low level background music. Data shown in Figure 6, Figure 7 and
Table 6 of the Acoustic Report shows prediction levels, which were determined using the 3D Cadna
model. Noise reductions due to distance and intervening structures are accounted in the 3D model.



      Item 13: Provide acoustic analysis of any proposed external plant e.g. air
             conditioning and refrigeration equipment. Include as part of the analysis the
             expected noise levels from that plant at any potentially affected residential
             boundaries.

Response:
At this stage of the development, mechanical plant has not been selected. In order to analyse the
proposed plant, details would be required from the manufacturers and mechanical contractor. These
details are unable to be obtained at this early stage of the proposal and can reasonably be conditioned
as part of the development approval.
