Minor Change - Planning Report 15.08.2025 · MCU17/0024.03

3.   Development Intent – Proposed Change

IMPORTANT NOTE - This Report and Appendices replace all documentation previously submitted for the
Minor Change Application MCU17/0024.03

The primary purpose of this Minor Change application is to amend the existing noise Condition 8 and to
delete Conditions 9, 10, and 11 of approval MCU17/0024.02. This submission provides the detailed
justification for these amendments, which are critical to establishing a more practical, effective, and
contemporary noise management framework for the Sunshine Beach Surf Life Saving Club.

3.1 Minor Change - Amendment of Condition 8: Aligning with Current Acoustic Standard.

     Existing Conditions 8(iii) and 8(iv) contain outdated noise limits from the original 2017 renovation
     approval (MCU17/0024). Conditions 8(i) and 8(ii) were temporary and have since lapsed. The
     proposed changes to Condition 8 are necessary to bring the approval conditions into alignment
     with current acoustic assessment standards and the noise limits endorsed by the Office of Liquor
     and Gaming Regulation (OLGR).

     This application seeks to amend Condition 8 to specify clear and enforceable noise limits,
     measured with a fast response, at Close External Monitoring Locations (CEMLs). These CEMLs are
     strategically positioned coordinates within 25 meters of the venue, specifically along the fence
     lines of the nearest noise-sensitive residential properties to the south and north of the club.

     As detailed in the Acoustic Report - Minor Change - 12.08.2025 (App A), the proposed noise limits
     for each CEML are as follows:

     • CEML 1 – Located external to the premises between the southern side of the clubhouse and the
     residence at 9 Webb Road (residence closest to beach), one metre from the retaining wall in Ed
     Webb Park and perpendicular to the retaining wall and the southern-most boundary:

       ◦ 61 dBA before 6:00 pm

       ◦ 56 dBA between 6:00 pm and 10:00 pm

       ◦ 58 dBC between 10:00 pm and 12:00 am

     • CEML 2 (Corresponds to L3 in Acoustic Report 2, which is associated with RAP.2 at 7 Webb Road):

       ◦ 61 dBA before 6:00 pm

       ◦ 56 dBA between 6:00 pm and 10:00 pm

       ◦ 55 dBC between 10:00 pm and 12:00 am

     • CEML 3 (Corresponds to L6 in Acoustic Report 2, which is associated with RAP.4 at 4 Bryan
     Street):

       ◦ 55 dBA before 6:00 pm

       ◦ 56 dBA between 6:00 pm and 10:00 pm

       ◦ 63 dBC between 10:00 pm and 12:00 am
