It is noted that the Acoustic Quality Objectives are intended to be progressively achieved as part of
achieving the purpose of this policy over the long term.


4.3           Office of Liquor and Gaming Regulations (OLGR)

The Office of Liquor and Gaming Regulation sets limits for the noise of entertainment and patron
emanating from licensed premises. The limits apply at any noise-sensitive receptor as defined under the
Act, which includes private residences, caravan parks, marinas, schools, hospitals and the like. They also
apply to commercial premises that operate when the licensed premise intends to host entertainment.


The measured parameters and the noise limits vary depending on the time of day that the entertainment
occurs.


Between the hours of 6am and 10pm, the required method of measurement is the overall, A-weighted
noise level (dBA). The intrusive noise at the receptor is measured as the ten-percentile statistical level
(LA10) and adjusted for tonal and impulsive components (LA10 adj). The background level is measured as the
ninety-percentile level in the absence of entertainment (LA90). The noise limit for this time period is such
that the adjusted intrusive level must not exceed the background by more than 10dBA:

                                                   L A10   adj    L A90  10dBA



Noise due to patrons may a different characteristic of sound from the existing ambient noise. To account
for this, it is appropriate to add a +5dBA penalty adjustment to the noise emissions before comparing it
with the ambient noise. The noise limit is derived in Table 4.
