Environmental Noise Level Impact Assessment of Proposed Refurbished and Extended

    •    amplified entertainment, both outside and inside.

The noise limit criteria for both the steady state and time varying noise sources was in accordance with
the ‘background creep’ criteria of the Environmental Protection (Noise) Policy 2008, whilst the amplified
music noise limit was based on the low frequency noise limit criteria of the Brisbane City Council, to
ensure that the bass frequency noise impact of amplified entertainment was adequately accounted for.

All potential source noise levels were calculated to the closest residential to the north, west and east of
the proposed refurbished Sunshine Beach Surf Life Saving Club, from the closest potential location for
each of the noise sources to the closest part of the residential building.

All steady state and time varying noise sources comply with the daytime, evening and night-time noise
limits at all of the closest residential, with no additional noise control measures required.

For amplified entertainment the following noise limits, relative to 3 metres from the speakers, were
calculated:

    •    The Deck:

              o    daytime and evening:       90 dB(C) LCeq,adj,T;
              o    night-time:                85 dB(C) LCeq,adj,T;

    •    Upper Court:

              o    daytime and evening:       90 dB(C) LCeq,adj,T;
              o    night-time:                85 dB(C) LCeq,adj,T;

    •    The Snug/Dining, with amplified entertainment set up in the ‘band’ area;

              o    all multifold/stacking doors fully OPEN;
                        ▪ daytime and evening: 90 dB(C) LCeq,adj,T;
                        ▪ night-time:                 85 dB(C) LCeq,adj,T;

              o    all multifold/stacking doors CLOSED;
                        ▪ daytime and evening: 105 dB(C) LCeq,adj,T;
                        ▪ night-time:               100 dB(C) LCeq,adj,T;

    •    Function Room, with all windows CLOSED and access door to the balcony CLOSED:

              o    daytime and evening:       105 dB(C) LCeq,adj,T;
              o    night-time:                100 dB(C) LCeq,adj,T.

Compliance with the above noise limits at 3 metres from the speakers will also result in noise limit
compliance at all of the closest residential to the proposed refurbished Sunshine Beach Surf Life Saving
Club.


RECOMMENDATION

It is recommended that, from an environmental noise perspective, the proposed refurbishment of the
Sunshine Beach Surf Life Saving Club be approved, provided the noise control measures detailed in
this report are incorporated into this development.
