     Section 2.7 of the Noosa Planning Scheme Policy PSP14 Outdoor Dining states:


            2.7        Amenity

            a)         Outdoor dining is to be in keeping with the character and amenity of the locality.
            b)         In existing well established commercial and tourist precincts such as Hastings Street; Sunshine
                       Beach; Noosa Junction and Gympie Terrace, outdoor dining is encouraged.

                       adjoining residential and other land uses.


     The Noosa Plan does not provide specific assessment criteria for noise emissions. In this instance, noise
     limits stipulated in Environmental Protection (Noise) Policy 2008 EPP (Noise) and the Office of Liquor and
     Gaming Regulation have been considered in this report.


     4.2           EPP (Noise) noise limits

     The statutory requirements for the control of commercial (and other) noise are set down in the
     Environmental Protection (Noise) Policy 2008 EPP (Noise). The policy includes noise limits for both the
     limiting of background creep and sets acoustic quality objectives which are prescribed for enhancing or
     protecting the environmental value..

     The policy cites as one of its primary goals to preserve or enhance environmental values which are
     conducive to:

                  a)       protecting the health and biodiversity of ecosystems;
                  b)       the health and wellbeing of an individual, including the individual’s opportunity to have
                           sleep, study or learn, relaxation and conversation without unreasonable interference from
                           intrusive noise; and
                  c)       the amenity of the community.


     A summary of the Acoustic Quality Objectives is presented in Table 3.
