Incorporating Dining Area Which Can Be Fully Enclosed



    •    from 1800 to 2200 hours indoor dining can occur for more than 100 diners and up to 150
         diners, provided that all windows and operable walls to the dining area are closed;
    •    from 2200 hours to midnight indoor dining can occur for up to 150 diners, provided that all
         windows and operable walls to the dining area are closed;
    •    dining area, with all of the windows and operable walls closed, provides a minimum 25 dB(A)
         noise level reduction from inside to outside;
    •    dining area not to trade after midnight, daily;
    •    dining not to extend beyond the dining area;
    •    top of solid balustrading at least 900 mm high (solid section of balustrade is 800 mm high
         glass with a 100 mm gap at the base) to the following balconies:
             o Block 2, south facing balconies;
             o Block 3 and 4, eastern facing balconies;
             o Block 14, southern aspect of balconies;
             o Block 18, 19, 20 and 21, west facing balconies

Compliance with the above will also result in noise limit compliance with all ‘off-site’ residential.

It should also be noted that the dining area has a Liquor Licence and therefore patron noise limits and
noise control is a matter for the Office of Liquor and Gaming Regulation.


Amplified Music

The dining area has a Liquor Licence and, therefore, the noise limits for amplified entertainment (and
patron noise) will be detailed on their Liquor Licence.

To establish amplified music noise limits the Office of Liquor and Gaming Regulation will require an
actual amplified music noise assessment to be conducted. This will need to include background noise
assessments at 2200 hours and midnight, to define the residential noise limits, as well as an
assessment of actual amplified music conducted concurrently from 3 metres from the speakers and at
the closest residential.

As a preliminary indication of the permissible volume which achieves compliance with the time varying
noise limits, the amplified music noise limits for the in-house speaker system for the dining area, 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;

For the above amplified music noise limits the noise control measures are as follows:

    •    all dining area windows and operable walls closed;
    •    dining area, with all of the windows and operable walls closed, provides a minimum 25 dB(A)
         noise level reduction from inside to outside;
    •    all speakers located just below ceiling height;
    •    all speakers directed downwards;
    •    no speakers in addition to the in-house speakers are permitted on site;
    •    any live performer must play through the in-house system.
