    •     non-continuous/time varying noise:

               o   daytime (0700 to 1800 hours):                 57 + 5 = 62 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T;
               o   evening (1800 to 2200 hours):                 56 + 5 = 61 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T;
               o   night-time (2200 to 0700 hours):              55 + 5 = 60 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T;

    •     amplified music:

               o   daytime (0700 to 1800 hours):                 65 dB(C) LCeq,adj,11H;
               o   evening (1800 to 2200 hours):                 65 dB(C) LCeq,adj,4H;
               o   night-time (2200 to 0700 hours):              60 dB(C) LCeq,adj,9H.


TYPICAL SOURCE NOISE LEVELS

For the proposed refurbishment of the Sunshine Beach Surf Life Saving Club the adopted source noise
levels are:

    •     plant and equipment (L90,T):
              o airconditioning unit condenser deck 85 dB(A) LWA;
              o refrigeration unit condenser deck 85 dB(A) LWA;
              o large cassette airconditioning unit 70 dB(A) LWA;
              o kitchen exhaust fan 70 dB(A) LA90,T @ 3 metres;
              o toilet exhaust fan 65 dB(A) LA90,T @ 3 metres;

    •     vehicle/carpark activity:
              o car driving in carpark:                          46 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T @ 8 m;
              o car door closing:                                48 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T @ 30 m;
              o car engine starting:                             48 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T @ 30 m;
              o people laughing and talking:                     56 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T @ 10 m;
              o delivery truck:                                  60 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T @ 8 m;

    •     patron noise:
              o small group laughing, talking:                   60 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T @ 10 m;
              o large group, including some yelling:             70 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T @ 10 m;

The maximum permissible level for amplified entertainment will be determined from the applicable noise
limits, building constrains and separation distance, but for small acts (soloist, duo, etc) a noise level of
approximately 90 to 95 dB(C) at 3 metres from the source would be what is generally required, and for
larger acts, bands and DJs a noise level of 100+ dB(C) at 3 metres from the source would be
preferable.


NOISE LEVEL IMPACT


Plant and Equipment

Based on plant and equipment (continuous or steady state noise source) noise limits of 57, 56 and 55
dB(A) LA90,T for the daytime, evening and night-time periods respectively, the noise level impact at the
closest residential to the Sunshine Beach Surf Life Saving Club are:

        • closest residential to the north:

                o airconditioning:            85 dB(A) LWA – 44 (separation distance of 64 metres) + 3 (two
                                              condenser units) = 44 dB(A);
                o refrigeration:              85 dB(A) LWA – 44 (separation distance of 64 metres) + 3 (two
                                              condenser units) = 44 dB(A);
