Noise Impact Assessment

It is recommended that a detailed assessment of mechanical plant noise be conducted in
accordance with the criteria and assessment procedure outlined in Liquor guideline 51: Preparing
an acoustic report. This would allow for determination of noise limits associated with the
cumulative noise emissions of amplified entertainment, patron noise and mechanical plant noise.
Further discussion is provided in Section 5.2.

Any future mechanical plant should be selected to ensure compliance with the established noise
criteria in Section 3 of this report.

4.7 Noise Sources
Table 9 below describes the noise source model inputs associated with each activity and includes
the overall sound power levels utilised in the prediction model.
