2. Environmental Noise Criteria

Noosa Council requires that the noise levels from Village Bicycle do not exceed the limits
presented in Table 2.1, at the nearest noise sensitive receptors.

                                                Table 2.1 Noise Criteria
                                                                                             Criteria

3. Noise Propagation Modelling

The SoundPLAN noise propagation model was modified as follows:
        Height of the acoustic fence on the north-eastern boundary of the café was raised to 2.6
         metres.

The calculated noise levels at the nearest apartments at No. 1 Bottlebrush Avenue, considering
patron and music noise emissions from Village Bicycle café when operating at full occupancy (1-
hour period of highest noise), are presented in Table 3.1 and Appendix A.
