adjoining or nearby premises.                   residential amenity. Clearly complying with this provision.
                                                To address any argument that the operator may change, the
                                                current approval has rigorous and clear conditions pertaining to
                                                hours of operation and noise particularly given the strategically
                                                designed building for acoustic purposes.

                                                Bounce Noosa is designed with a centrally located courtyard
                                                where all outdoor activities occur (and the proposed use area),
                                                are surrounded by the accommodation, which is constructed
                                                from tilt panel (150mm thick concrete). This provides a significant
                                                high standard acoustic barrier between the use of the
                                                courtyard and the surrounding residential properties. Any noise
                                                which may occur is managed by the on site manager caring for
                                                the guests.
                                                Further, a primary submitter against the original development
                                                has provided a letter of support for this ‘other change’ which
                                                highlights the operation has successfully integrated into the
                                                resort and its operations to successfully manage guests.
                                                An Acoustic report is provided as part of the application
                                                documentation. The Acoustic Report prepared by Live It
                                                Acoustics finds that the operation complies with all the
                                                conditions of the approval and relevant standards.
