         night-time (0600 to 0700 hours and 2200 hours to midnight) = 88 dB(A) LWA, which is equivalent
          to 71 dB(A) + 5 = 76 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T at 3 metres from the speakers.

In addition to the above any live performer must be required to play through the in-house system. No
speakers (in addition to the in-house system) are to be permitted on site.


NOISE CONTROL

The noise limits adopted in this noise impact assessment report for the Facilities Building are:

Steady state noise:
     daytime (0700 to 1900 hours):                        50 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T;
     evening (1900 to 2200 hours):                        43 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T;
     night-time (2200 hours to midnight):                 38 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T;

time varying noise:
     daytime (0700 to 1800 hours):                        50 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T;
     evening (1800 to 2200 hours):                        45 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T;
     night-time (2200 hours to midnight):                 40 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T.

All of the noise level impact calculations detailed in this report are to the closest residential external
living areas, namely balconies or courtyards. In consideration of the potential for noise impact inside
the residential apartments, this will be significantly less due the fact that all habitable rooms of all
apartments are fully air-conditioned, enabling external openings to be closed and maintaining an
acceptable level of temperature comfort inside the apartment. Additionally, all sliding glass doors are
fitted with 6 mm thick toughened glass with an Rw 28 to 30. For Block 3 (at least), where there is also
fixed panes of glass above the sliding glass doors to access the balconies, these have 6 mm float glass
with a similar Rw to the sliding glass doors.

In accordance with the Council approval, the following noise control measure requirements should be
noted:

82.       The development shall comply with the noise management strategies contained in the report
          prepared by Ron Rumble Pty Ltd and dated November 2006, with the following additional

          Manager, Environmental Health Noosa Council: -

          83.1     The necessary and appropriate noise control measures incorporated into the façade of
                   the apartments and within the restaurant. These measures shall include:

                   83.1.1 Upgraded glazing and air-conditioning to the potentially affected apartments;

                   83.1.4 Revised hours of operation to no later than midnight;

          83.2     Formulate and implement a Noise Management Plan to deal with noise emissions from
                   the premises including patron noise.

          83.3     The applicant must advise prospective purchasers that a noise management plan has
                   been prepared to manage noise emissions related to the development.

          83.4     The Noise Management Plan referred to in Condition 83.2 shall be incorporated in
                   perpetuity in the By-Laws of the Body Corp for the building.
