   From Table 2, the following average ambient noise levels should be noted:

                •      evening:    60.0, 61.2, 62.6, 61.5, 60.4, 60.1, 62.9     Average = 61.2 dB(A);
                •      night-time: 61.0, 60.5, 62.7, 60.2, 58.4, 59.0, 61.4     Average = 60.5 dB(A);

   •       LA90,T:
                •      daytime:    58.8, 59.5, 60.4, 60.3, 58.8, 56.6, 57.7     Average = 58.9 dB(A);
                •      evening:    58.5, 59.7, 61.1, 60.2, 58.7, 58.0, 59.8     Average = 59.4 dB(A);
                •      night-time: 59.7, 59.2, 60.7, 58.7, 56.4, 55.2, 59.3     Average = 58.5 dB(A).

   It should be noted that for the ambient noise assessment there were no adverse weather conditions
   (such as rain – no rain except for 1.0 mm on Thursday 6 July, which did not adversely impact any of the
   above average noise levels) or extraneous noise events which warranted any of the collected noise
   data to be excluded from the averaging process. Refer Appendix E for meteorological details for the
   closest recording station to Sunshine Beach, namely Double Island Point.


   APPLICABLE NOISE LIMITS

   Based on the quietest of the average background (LA90,T) sound levels for monitoring locations A and B
   (monitoring location A was the quieter) the applicable noise limits for all of the closest residential to the
   Sunshine Beach Surf Life Saving Club are:

           •   continuous/steady state noise:
                   o daytime (0700 to 1800 hours):                      57 dB(A) LA90,T;
                   o evening (1800 to 2200 hours):                      56 dB(A) LA90,T;
                   o night-time (2200 to 0700 hours):                   55 dB(A) LA90,T;
