Sunshine Beach Surf Life Saving Club, Duke Street, Sunshine Beach                                         Page 1 of 31


INTRODUCTION

It is proposed to fully refurbish the Sunshine Beach Surf Life Saving Club, Duke Street, Sunshine Beach
(Lot 126 on CP 845336 and Lot 5 on SP 269274), which will also include some minor extension work (in
comparison to the current footprint of the Club building, for the different floor levels). Noosa Council
have issued an information request in response to this proposed refurbishment project (dated 15 June
29017 and Council reference MCU17/0024) and, with respect to environmental acoustics, imposed the
following:

Issue
The proposed development includes extensive external decks and court areas, band area, a substantial
function room with external balcony, open air plant deck and roof top equipment and exhausts.
Accordingly the acoustic impact from the proposed development may have a detrimental effect on
surrounding land uses.

Information Required
4       A noise impact assessment prepared by a suitably qualified person which addresses noise
        emissions from the operation of the proposed development including recommendations for
        noise controls.

To clarify the noise limit criteria for all of the potential noise sources associated with the refurbishment of
the Sunshine Beach Surf Life Saving Club the consultant communicated with a Council Environmental
Officer, who advised the preferred criteria, namely ‘background creep’ for steady state/continuous noise
sources and time varying/non-continuous noise sources, as well as consideration of amplified music
bass frequencies using dB(C).

This report has been prepared in response to the Noosa Council Information Request and includes two
detailed 7-day ambient noise assessments from the closest residential to the north (monitoring location
A) and the closest residential to the south (monitoring location B) of the Sunshine Beach Surf Life
Saving Club, noise limit criteria, typical source noise levels, source noise levels calculated to the closest
residences, comparison with the various noise limits and, if any of the noise limits are exceeded, noise
control measures required.

Refer Figure 1 for locality plan, monitoring locations A and B and closest residences and Figures 2, 3, 4
and 5 for the proposed floor plans and roof plan for the refurbished Sunshine Beach Surf Life Saving
Club.
