NOISE CONTROL

The noise limits adopted in this noise impact assessment report for the Facilities Building are:

Steady state noise:
    • daytime (0700 to 1900 hours):                         50 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T;
    • evening (1900 to 2200 hours):                         39 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T;
    • night-time (2200 hours to midnight):                  36 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T;

time varying noise:
    • 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 hours to midnight):                  41 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T.

All of the noise level impact calculations detailed in this report are to the closest residential external
living areas, namely balconies or courtyards. In consideration of the potential for noise impact inside
the residential apartments, this will be significantly less due the fact that all habitable rooms of all
apartments are fully air-conditioned, enabling external openings to be closed and maintaining an
acceptable level of temperature comfort inside the apartment. Additionally, all sliding glass doors are
fitted with 6 mm thick toughened glass with an Rw 28 to 30. For Block 3 (at least), where there is also
fixed panes of glass above the sliding glass doors to access the balconies, these have 6 mm float glass
with a similar Rw to the sliding glass doors.

In accordance with the Council approval, the following noise control measure requirements should be
noted:

83.       The development shall comply with the Noise Management Plan (Report No:
          R19084/D3295/Rev.4/30.03.20) prepared by David Moore & Associates and dated 30 March
          2020 to the reasonable satisfaction of Council, including:
               a. The necessary and appropriate noise control measures incorporated into the façade of
                  the apartments and within the restaurant/café in the Resort Facilities Building. These
                  measures shall include:
                    i.        Upgraded glazing and air-conditioning to the potentially affected apartments;
                    ii.       Strategically placed wing walls on balconies to screen the apartment and
                              balconies from outdoor dining areas;
                    iii.      Revised hours of operation to no later than midnight for the restaurant/café
                              (indoor area only);
                    iv.       The outdoor dining areas associated with the restaurant/café use is to operate
                              between the hours of 6am and 10pm only;
                    v.        After 10pm, all patrons must be within the building confines with doors/windows
                              closed, except for the ingress and egress of patrons and staff;
                    vi.       The underside of all roof elements over outdoor dining areas associated with
                              the café use are to be lined with acoustic absorptive lining minimum NRC 0.7;
                    vii.      Outdoor dining is confined to the 185m2 roofed area shown on the approved
                              plans.
                    viii.     All amplified noise at the premises must be conducted through a sound limiting
                              device at all times to ensure that noise does not exceed the following:
                                   1. during the daytime and evening (0600 to 2200) must not exceed 92
                                      dB(A) LWA, which is equivalent to 75 dB(A) + 5 = 80 dB(A) LAeq, adj,
                                      T at 3 metres from the speakers.
                    ix.       Any live performer must be required to play through the in-house system. No
                              speakers (in addition to the in-house system) are permitted on site.

          b.        Within 20 business days of the commencement of trading of the restaurant/café use,
                    Council must be provided with a Noise Management Plan which is specific to the use
                    and prepared on the basis of physical and technical assessment of noise from the
