          The meteorological conditions over the monitoring period were conducive for measuring noise under
          typical conditions. There was no rain over the monitoring period and negligible wind with relatively calm
          conditions experienced over most days and nights. Observations during our site inspections noted that
          ambient noise was mainly due to birds, wind (rustling of leaves in trees), traffic and surf.


          The measurement procedures used and the results reported in this document were conducted in
          accordance with Renzo Tonin and Associates' Quality Assurance System, Australian Standard 1055-1989
          "Acoustics - Description and Measurement of Environmental Noise" and the DEHP's Noise Control Manual
          (August 2013).




          4            Noise Emissions Criteria

          4.1          The Noosa Plan

          Section 14.12 of The Noosa Plan outlines Specific outcomes, probable solutions and acceptable solutions
          for Division 3-Business Uses Code.


          Specific Outcomes O7 and O8 relate to Outdoor dining areas, which are outlined in Table 14-5 New
          Business Uses Within Existing Buildings in Established Centres), i.e.:

          emissions that unreasonably diminish the amenity of the                 the use does not operate outside of the hours of
          area or surrounding uses.                                               7:00am to 9:00pm.

          with the existing character of the area, including the                  c) separated from the floor and any roof by a minimum
          architecture of the associated building;                                vertical gap of 500mm;
          b) outdoor dining adds to the landscaped streetscape                    and
          without increasing perceived building bulk;
                                                                                  d) if detachable or collapsible, are only used during
