     4. Preliminary amplified music noise limits, for the dining area fully enclosed (all windows and
        operable walls closed) are:

               •    day and evening (0700 to 2200 hours): 90 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T at 3 m from the speakers;
               •    night (2200 hours to midnight):       85 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T at 3 m from the speakers;

     5. All speakers for amplified music must be located within that part of the dining area which can be
        enclosed by closing all of the windows and operable walls.

     6. 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.

     7. Plant and equipment (excluding the kitchen exhaust) can operate 24-hours per day, 7-days per
        week.

     8. Kitchen exhaust fan can be operated on ‘high’ (75%) from 0600 to 1800 hours. From 1800
        hours to midnight the kitchen exhaust fan must only be operated on ‘low’ (50%), or turned off.

     9. Access door into the rooftop plant deck (western side of plant deck) must be kept closed at all
        times.

It is a requirement of Condition 82 (and to a lesser extent Condition 84) that a noise assessment of the
plant and equipment be conducted to confirm compliance with the noise limits. This plant and
equipment noise assessment was conducted on Monday 2 and Wednesday 18 December 2019. With
the kitchen exhaust fan operating on ‘high’ from 0600 to 1800 hours and then, from 1800 hours to
midnight, operating at ‘low’ (50%), together with all other plant and equipment operating 24-hours per
day, all of the steady state noise limits are complied with.
