For the time varying noise of patrons laughing and talking the noise limits are:

     •    daytime (0700 to 1800 hours):                     50 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T;
     •    evening (1800 to 2200 hours):                     44 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T;
     •    night-time (2200 to 0700 hours):                  41 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T.

The early morning, daytime, evening and night-time noise limits are complied with for the above
scenarios, for Block 3.


AMPLIFIED MUSIC

At the time of preparing this report no detail was available with respect to speaker locations. It has been
assumed that all speakers would be located within that part of the dining area that can be completely
closed off by closing windows and operable walls.

It should also be noted that the dining area will be licensed for the consumption of alcohol and, as such,
the noise of amplified entertainment will be controlled by the Office of Liquor and Gaming Regulation,
together with patron noise. OLGR will require a separate noise impact assessment of amplified
entertainment based on actual source noise level measurements conducted concurrently from 3 metres
from the speakers and at the closest sensitive receptors – in this situation the closest residential
apartments.

The dining area currently has an amplified music noise limit applied by the Office of Liquor and Gaming
Regulation of 75 dB(A) @ 3 metres from the noise source. Even at this low volume the dining area
would need to be fully closed in at 2200 hours, that is, all windows and operable walls closed at 2200
hours.

The amplified entertainment noise limits nominated below are based on calculation only and should be
considered preliminary, as actual amplified music noise level measurements will provide the required
level of detail to determine the actual amplified entertainment noise limits.

The estimated amplified music noise limits for the in-house speakers, with all windows and operable
walls closed, are:

     •    daytime and evening (0700 to 2200 hours) = 110 dB(A) LWA @ 3 m from the speakers – 40
          (distance to closest residential block) – 25 (noise level reduction due to enclosing the dining
          area) = 45 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T. This volume of 110 dB(A) LWA is approximately 90 dB(A) @ 3 metres
          from the speakers;

     •    night-time (0600 to 0700 hours and 2200 hours to midnight) = 105 dB(A) LWA @ 3 m from the
          speakers – 40 (distance to closest residential block) – 25 (noise level reduction due to enclosing
          the dining area) = 40 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T. This volume of 105 dB(A) LWA is approximately 85 dB(A)
          @ 3 metres from the speakers;

In addition to the above any live performer must be required to play through the in-house system. No
speakers (in addition to the in-house system) are to be permitted on site.
