Flashpackers Noosa- Planning Report · 132007.2446.05

including existing hours, noise policy, curfews, and the presence of an on-site night manager. A slight
increase in staffing may be necessary, which could potentially provide additional hours for current
staff or create 1-2 new positions, benefiting the community.

Night-time conditions outlined by Noosa Council remain in effect to ensure the amenity of
surrounding neighbours, including:

    •    A night manager living on site;

    •    A staff member actively on duty each night until midnight;

    •    The Hostel phone is answered from 7am – midnight on site to deal with any issues. Indeed,
         the phone is answered 24 hours per day;

    •    There is no amplified music internally or externally after 9pm daily;

    •    The Pool deck closes at 9pm daily; and

    •    The Chill out zone – smoking area we have a designated closing between 11pm-12am in line
         with our own ‘no noise’ policy and quiet hostel.

To address potential noise concerns due to the increased number of patrons, the applicant
engaged David Moore & Associates Pty Ltd to provide an updated noise report (Appendix C), which
concludes that the proposed increase will not heighten the noise impact on adjoining residences.
Additionally, no changes to waste management will occur on site.

A summary of the proposed changes in comparison to the provisions outlined in the Noosa Plan 2020
is provided for clarity and compliance assessment.
