2.3 Sensitive Receptors
The Environmental Protection (Noise) Policy 2019 defines a Sensitive Receptor (SR) as ‘an area
or place where noise is measured’. In addition, the Policy also provides a list of SRs which are
denoted as a:

     •    Residence;
     •    Libraries and educational institutions (including a schools, colleges and universities);
     •    Childcare centres or kindergartens;
     •    School or playground;
     •    Hospital, surgery or other medical institution;
     •    Commercial and retail activity;
     •    Protected area or critical area;
     •    Marine Park; and
     •    Park or garden that is open to the public for use other than for sport or organised
          entertainment.

The above SRs have been included in this assessment.

The surrounding land uses are zoned as either ‘Low Density Residential, ‘Medium Density
Residential’ or ‘District Centre’, as per the Noosa Plan 2020. The venue location and the nearest
identified SRs are shown on aerial imagery below in Figure 3.
