Noise Impact Assessment


5 Recommendations
To protect sensitive receptors, health and amenity from operational noise emissions associated
with the proposed development, it is recommended that the following noise management
measures and acoustic treatments are implemented.

5.1 Mechanical Plant
A preliminary assessment of existing site mechanical plant has been conducted by Live It
Acoustics and is presented in Section 4.6 of this report. A detailed assessment of mechanical
plant noise should be conducted in conjunction with the criteria and assessment procedure
outlined in Liquor guideline 51: Preparing an acoustic report.

We recommend that any additional mechanical plant (as required) is located as far as practical
from the residential noise sensitive receptors to the north, south and east of the subject site. Any
additional mechanical plant should be designed or selected to ensure compliance with the noise
criteria in Section 3 of this report and any other relevant policies. An assessment by a suitably
qualified acoustic consultant should be conducted prior to installation.

5.2 Office of Liquor and Gaming Regulation (OLGR)
As the venue is licensed, OLGR are likely to require an acoustic assessment in accordance with
Liquor guideline 51: Preparing an acoustic report. The assessment would determine maximum
allowable noise levels for amplified music which may differ from any recommended levels in this
report.

5.3 General Onsite Activities
The following acoustic treatments and management controls should be implemented.

5.3.1 Management controls
The following management controls should be implemented by the venue:

     •    Guests should be reminded that loud/boisterous behaviour is not permitted, and staff
          should take a proactive approach to minimise this.

          night-time periods (after 10pm). This includes but is not limited to turning down car
          stereos, not congregating in the street for conversation and driving in a responsible
          manner.
     •    Signage should be placed throughout the venue to remind guests to keep noise levels to
          a minimum.
     •    Use of the playground should only be permitted during daytime hours and evening hours
          (7:00AM to 10:00PM).

     •    Waste collection should be conducted in accordance with the venues existing waste
          management plan and only occur during daytime hours (7:00AM – 6:00PM) to minimise
          disturbance.
