Entertainment Noise Assessment


 3.5 Meteorology
 The Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) ‘Tewantin RSL Park’ weather station           G51 Check Item 29 ☐

 (Station ID: 040908), reports an annual mean 9am wind speed of
 11.8km/hr and annual mean 3pm wind speed of 16.8km/hr. A prevailing
 south to south-easterly wind direction is a feature of the area surrounding
 the venue, as per the BOM wind rose for the ‘Tewantin RSL Park’
 weather station.

 It is anticipated that RAP.1 and RAP.4 would be most affected by any          G51 Check Item 30 ☐

 increase in noise levels due to refraction caused by wind in the
 predominant direction (south to south-easterly). These receptors have
 been considered directly in the assessment.

 During the onsite assessment, wind speed was collected immediately
 prior to testing recording a wind speed of less than 5 m/s using a Kestrel
 2000 anemometer.

 Wind speed and direction were also acquired from the BOM Tewantin
 RSL Park (Station ID: 040908). A summary is provided in Appendix C –
 Weather Observation.



 3.6 Background noise measurements
 Details over the pre-10pm and post-10pm background noise                      G51 Check Item 33 ☐

 measurements are provided below in Table 3.

 Background noise measurements were taken at various locations                 G51 Check Item 34 ☐

 surrounding the subject site representative of each of the RAPs.

 As the venue is currently approved to operate until 2am, background
 noise measurement locations were selected where no existing noise
 emanating from the venue was audible. The selected locations were also
 further from Noosa Drive and Sunshine Beach Road than the closest
 RAPs. Hence, the approach taken to determine the background noise
 levels at the RAPs is conservative.

 Insect noise was audible at some background measurement locations.
 For locations which were affected by insect noise, the measurements
 were taken in one-third octave bands and the results were post
 processed to remove insect noise. This was done by identifying the main
 frequency band(s) affected by the insect noise and replacing the
 measured level in these band(s) with the linear average of the noise level
 in the bands either side.

 Background noise measurements were taken at the specific times shown          G51 Check Item 35 ☐

 in Table 3, as these dates and times were considered to have the lowest
 background noise level within each assessment period.
