RECOMMENDATIONS ONLY – NOT THE FINAL DECISION OF COUNCIL
GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING 13 JUNE 2016
Nature and Extent of Approved Use

outdoor dining area permitted after 10pm only on Friday and Saturday to Monday nights
inclusive.
4. Patrons in the outdoor dining area must be seated and limited to 50.
5. The outdoor dining areas within the site must be in accordance with those shown on
the approved plan, with no more than 40m2 used at any one time.
6. Service vehicle movements associated with the approved use (including loading and
unloading) must not occur outside the hours of 7am to 6pm Monday to Saturday and
not at all on Sundays or public holidays.
Noise
7. External speakers or amplified music are not permitted.
8. Internal amplified music must be directed away from the Bottlebrush Avenue frontage.
9. Refuse disposal, particularly glass bottles and the like, must be considerate of noise at
all times.
10. Management must ensure patrons leave the premises and street frontage promptly
after nightly closing time and do not mingle or otherwise cause noise nuisance to
residents on Bottlebrush Avenue.
11. The development must be undertaken in accordance with the recommendations of the
Acoustic Report prepared by ATP Consulting Engineers (Reference ATP150314-NIA-
02) dated 24 June 2015 and ATP’s addendum letters dated 9 October 2015 and 10
December 2015.
12. The 2.6m acoustic fence recommended by the approved Acoustic Report must be
erected within 3 months of this approval taking effect. The fence must meet the
construction standards required by the approved Acoustic Report.
13. Noise emissions from any new mechanical equipment associated with the development
shall comply with the following requirements:
13.1. Air-conditioning and Refrigeration
7am to 10pm: Background + 5dB(A)
10pm to 7am: Background + 3dB(A)
14. Written certification must be submitted from a suitably qualified person confirming noise
levels from any new mechanical equipment comply when measured at either the
residential boundary or outside the most exposed part of an affected building,
whichever is the closest to the equipment.
The assessment and certification is required immediately after installation of the
equipment and in a format approved by Council. All equipment should be operating at
the same time to test the overall noise level created.
Advice: It is highly recommended the person you engage to certify the installation is
involved prior to installation of any equipment so they can recommend where
equipment is best located. They can also advise about noise enclosures and make
other suggestions to avoid noise problems. It is a lot more costly to try and deal with
noise problems after installation.
