MCU16/0079 Appendix F - Environmental Noise Imact Assessment

        5.2     Patrons at Smoker’s Terrace Noise Impact Predictions
        Noise emissions from patrons at the smoker’s terrace has been assessed in accordance with the Liquor
        and Gaming noise criterion set out in Section 4.2 of this report.

        Based upon the location of the proposed smoker’s terrace in relation to the nearest offsite noise
        sensitive receivers we predict the following noise impact levels as presented in Table 9 (subdued
        patrons) and Table 10 (boisterous patrons).

        As noted previously, for the receivers across the river we have assumed the typical minus 6 dB per
        doubling of distance noise reduction to the nearest edge of the river and no distance attenuation over
        the river given that water is typical a hard reflective surface.

        The predicted levels assume that the recommended treatments detailed in Section 6 are incorporated
        into the development.

        For offsite noise sensitive receiver locations refer to Figure 2 in Appendix A.
