The amplified music noise limits are 65 dB(C) LCeq,adj,T for the daytime and evening and 60 dB(C)
LCeq,adj,T for the night-time periods, with this noise limit criteria designed to specifically account for the
bass/low frequency component of the amplified entertainment.

For the two external areas where it could be possible to have amplified entertainment, the predicted
maximum permissible amplified music noise levels for these two areas are:

    •    The Deck:
            o closest residential to north:            65 dB(C) + 27 (3m to separation distance of 70m) = 92
                                                       dB(C) @ 3 metres from the speakers;
              o    closest residential to west:        65 dB(C) + 30 (3m to separation distance of 95m) = 95
                                                       dB(C) @ 3 metres from the speakers;
              o    closest residential to south:       65 dB(C) + 25 (3m to separation distance of 50m) = 90
                                                       dB(C) @ 3 metres from the speakers;

    •    Upper Court:
            o closest residential to north:            65 dB(C) + 25 (3m to separation distance of 55m) = 90
                                                       dB(C) @ 3 metres from the speakers;
              o    closest residential to west:        65 dB(C) + 29 (3m to separation distance of 89m) + 8
                                                       (intervening building structure) = 102 dB(C) @ 3
                                                       metres from the speakers;
              o    closest residential to south:       65 dB(C) + 25 (3m to separation distance of 55m) = 90
                                                       dB(C) @ 3 metres from the speakers;

For the external areas the above calculations are for amplified entertainment during the daytime and
evening, with the maximum permissible volume for amplified entertainment on The Deck or the Upper
Court being the lowest of the above calculated values, namely:

    •    The Deck:          90 dB(C) LCeq,adj,T @ 3 metres from the speakers;
    •    Upper Court:       90 dB(C) LCeq,adj,T @ 3 metres from the speakers.

If there was to be any amplified entertainment in either of these two external areas during the night-time
period then the permissible maximum volume would be 5 dB(C) less, namely 85 dB(C) LCeq,adj,T.

For the internal areas and in particular The Snug/Dining area, amplified entertainment (with the
entertainment located in the corner denoted ‘Band’ on the floor plan) could occur with all of the
multifold/stacking doors open. If this was the case then the amplified music noise limit for this area
would be 5 dB(C) greater than for The Deck, namely 95 dB(C) LCeq,adj,T @ 3 metres from the speakers
during the daytime and evening and 90 dB(C) @ 3 metres from the speakers during the night-time, for
the speakers located in the ‘band’ area.

For this same area but with all of the multifold/stacking doors closed the amplified music noise limit for
this area would be 15 dB(C) greater than for The Deck, namely 105 dB(C) LCeq,adj,T @ 3 metres from the
speakers during the daytime and evening and 100 dB(C) @ 3 metres from the speakers during the
night-time, for the speakers located in the ‘band’ area.

For the Function Room, with all of the windows closed, the amplified music noise limit for this area
would also be 15 dB(C) greater than for The Deck, namely 105 dB(C) LCeq,adj,T @ 3 metres from the
speakers during the daytime and evening and 100 dB(C) @ 3 metres from the speakers during the
night-time.
