2 Introduction Legislative framework

Events in the City of Adelaide (CoA) public realm have Event organisers have a legal obligation under the General the potential to cause noise related environmental Environmental Duty in section 25 of the Environment impact. Under the Environment Protection Act 1993, Protection Act 1993 (EP Act) that states: event organisers have a legal responsibility to prevent and minimise environmental impact as far as practicable. A person must not undertake an activity that pollutes, or might pollute, the environment unless the person The Adelaide Park Lands were set aside for public use takes all reasonable and practicable measures to more than 170 years ago. The Park Lands are highly valued prevent or minimise any resulting environmental harm.* by the people of South Australia as the City’s primary public space and host more than 800 events per year. Failure to comply with the General Environmental Duty, or to cause environmental harm in the form of nuisance Over recent years, streets and laneways have become noise can result in civil or criminal prosecution. more frequently activated beyond their traditional use to be transformed as creative and interactive spaces and In order to demonstrate compliance with section 25 of places for activities and events. the EP Act, event organisers should consider the potential noise impacts of planned events and minimise those This document outlines the noise mitigation requirements impacts where possible. The requirements set out in the and procedures that an event organiser is required to CoA Event Amplified Sound Management Guidelines may adhere to when operating events in the CoA Public Realm. assist with this process.

CoA recognises that each event and venue is by its nature Event organisers are also responsible for all WHS unique. In some instances there may be the need to requirements in regards to risks arising from hazardous further tailor the requirements and procedures to ensure noise in the work place. that the noise mitigation is appropriate for each event. There are some events which are not required to adhere to the requirements set out in the Event Amplified Sound Management Guidelines. This is because these events fall under separate Acts and associated legislation. Examples of this include but are not limited to events held on land owned by State Government, events held in indoor private licensed areas and events governed by the South Australian Motor Sport Act 1984.

*Environmental harm includes nuisance, such as noise.

Definition of Terms Refer Attachment 1. Definition of Terms.

3 Event Types

The following event types are subject to the Event Amplified Sound Management Guidelines:

Event Type Description

CoA reserves the right to apply the Events Amplified Sound Management Guidelines to events that fall outside of the above descriptions.

Event Locations

On receipt of an event application, CoA will consider Event Locations for Multi-Stage Music Festivals whether the requested location is appropriate given the scale, event category, event date/ time and anticipated To limit the impact of Multi-Stage Music Festivals across impact to the environment (including noise impact). the public realm, suitable Park Land venues have been identified as follows: Community Land Management Plans (CLMP) help to • The location known as ‘The Plateau’ in Ellis Park/ provide guidance as to the suitability of Park Land venues Tampawardli (Park 24). for events. • Bonython Park/Tulya Wardli (Park 27) Where a requested location is deemed by CoA to be inappropriate, CoA will endeavour to work with the event A maximum of three (3) events totalling a maximum of organiser to identify a suitable alternative location. four (4) event days can be held in Bonython Park/Tulya per year (1 July – 30 June).

Applications to hold Multi-Stage Music Festivals in other locations will be assessed on a case by case basis.

4 Noise Bonds

What is a noise bond? When does the noise bond have to be paid? • A noise bond is an amount of money paid up front • The event organiser will be required to pay the noise by an event organiser as a security to encourage bond on receipt of an appropriate tax invoice from events to comply with the Event Amplified Sound CoA as a condition of the Event Licence. Management Guidelines. • The noise bond must be received by CoA prior to the • The bond amount is held in security by CoA until event bump-in as a condition of the event licence. after the event when CoA is able to confirm the event organiser’s compliance / non-compliance with the When is the noise bond refunded to the event organiser?

Management Guidelines. • Events in the ‘Multi-Stage Music Festival’ category - • The event organiser must submit to CoA an appropriate noise bond amount: $10,000. tax invoice for the refund of the noise bond before this • Ticketed events in the ‘Concerts’ category that have can be paid. expected attendance of 5,000 people or more - noise bond amount: $8,000. • Events in the ‘Temporary Multi-Day Venues’ category with DJs/bands, operating beyond 11pm and operating in the open air (i.e. not in an enclosed venue) - noise bond amount: $8,000. • CoA reserves the right to request a noise bond for other events at its discretion.

5 Consequences and penalties of non-compliance

Pre-event Temporary Enclosed Venues Failure to provide the requested information or carry out Temporary fully enclosed venues operating within a any actions that are required under the direction of this Park Lands event site may be permitted to increase the document or the Third Schedule of the Event Licence applicable noise criteria by 3dB (A). An application should could result in the event not gaining approval from CoA be provided to the CoA for such a request. to proceed. A final signed copy of the Event Licence will not be granted until the CoA Event Facilitation team is satisfied that all pre-approval requirements have been met. No event that requires a licence can legally take place until the Event Licence has been executed. Compliance with the Event Amplified Sound Management Guidelines is an essential step in the approval process for events that are required to adhere to the Event Amplified Sound Management Guidelines.

During and after the event Non-compliance with conditions in the Event Amplified Sound Management Guidelines can have serious consequences for an event/event organiser. Whilst not limited to, this could include CoA having recourse to a noise bond that has been paid, possible impediments to staging further events in the CoA public realm and prosecution and financial penalties imposed by the Environment Protection Authority- South Australia (EPA).

Separate to CoA and in accordance with the EP Act, authorised officers may attend an event and surrounding area to take noise measurements, particularly if a number of complaints about actual or potential noise have been received.

Authorised officers may approach event organisers to take action to reduce noise levels should they consider that noise levels at a noise-affected premises is unreasonable, and/or that all reasonable and practicable measures have not been taken to minimise the potential noise impact.

The EP Act provides authorised officers with various regulatory tools to apply in such circumstances. For further information on authorised officers and the regulatory tools available to them, please refer to EPA Publication, Compliance and enforcement: Regulatory options and tools (2009).

6 Multi-Stage Music Festivals

SOP Requirements All event organisers have a responsibility to ensure noise impacts resulting from their event are minimised, regardless of the category or scale of the event. However, certain categories of events have a higher risk of causing noise impacts on nearby residents and businesses.

Unless otherwise advised by CoA, event organisers must provide the following information:

Key Noise Mitigation Requirements 1. Site plan showing positioning and orientation of stages must be submitted to CoA for approval 35 days prior to the bump-in date. The main stage/s should be located and oriented to face away from Noise Sensitive Receivers and the remaining stages located and oriented to suit other operational requirements (i.e. crowd capacity and interference between stages).

2. Event hotline phone number made available to the public and proposed hours of operation for approval.

3. Noise Management Plan (NMP) to be presented to CoA 28 days prior to the bump-in date. The NMP must include all items outlined in Noise Management Plans.

4. Minimum of one Acoustic Engineer will be appointed by CoA to oversee live monitoring equipment installed at all stage locations, including sound checks (refer Acoustic Engineer Onsite). The Acoustic Engineer will also regularly monitor noise sensitive receiver locations. The cost associated with this will be borne by the event organiser.

5. A copy of the completed Complaints Recording Template must be provided to the CoA within 7 days of the conclusion of the event (Complaints Response Procedure and Attachment 2- Complaint Recording Template).

CoA reserves the right to re-classify an event, or alter requirements based on the event details.

GREENHILL RD Definition of Terms

General terminology used in this document is described below:

Accountable Person/s Means Person/s nominated by the event organiser who has the delegated authority to instruct mixers/sound technicians to adjust noise levels. The Accountable Person/s must be contactable at all times through sound checks and the event.

Acoustic Engineer Means Acoustic Engineers appointed by CoA to independently monitor noise levels. The Acoustic Engineer supplier is engaged by CoA through a procurement process.

City of Adelaide Means the Corporation of the City of Adelaide and its representative/s.

Applicant Means the person(s) making the application and, if more than one person, means each of them jointly and severally. If the applicant is not a promoter of the event, the applicant warrants they have authority to bind the promoter, and the applicant and the promoter are bound jointly and severally.

Community Land Provides a comprehensive analysis of the elements and features currently found in each Management Plan (CLMP) park. The CLMP’s provide direction on how each park can be used including for events.

Event organiser Person responsible for the implementation of the event.

Event Licence Means the right to access and use the event site for the purposes of the event.

Live Music Refer to two or more participants (made up of artist and audience) gathering to listen and react to music in real time. The ‘live’ aspect of music refers to the social participation in consuming which includes DJ’s and other forms of electronic music. Note that this definition requires people gathering in a specified locale. This means the element of place is an inextricable part of live music.

Public Realm Means any publicly owned streets, pathways, right of ways, parks, publicly accessible open spaces.

Strike Means a notification issued by the Acoustic Engineer to the Accountable Person/s to signify that the event is not complying with the CoA Event Amplified Sound Management Guidelines and the noise bond may be in jeopardy. The event organiser should not rely solely on the issuing of strikes to track their compliance with the CoA Event Amplified Sound Management Guidelines.

Ticketed events An event which charges an admission fee.

Noise Sensitive Receiver Predetermined locations where noise levels are measured outside of the CoA public realm venue.

A-weighted The A-weighting scale is designed to adjust the absolute sound pressure levels based on the frequency content to correspond to the subjective response of the human ear. Lower frequency noise is negatively weighted by the A-weighting scale.

Bass music noise The low frequency content of music noise that is in the 31.5 Hz, 63 Hz and 125 Hz octave bands. Can cause annoyance, particularly when the low frequency content in the 31.5 Hz and 63 Hz octave bands is the dominant part of the overall music noise at a location.

44 Definition of Terms (cont.)

General terminology used in this document is described below:

dB The decibel (dB) is a logarithmic unit of measurement used to quantify sound pressure levels.

dB(A) A-weighted sound pressure levels are expressed in units of dB(A).

dB(C) C-weighted sound pressure levels are expressed in units of dB(C).

dB(Lin) Unweighted sound pressure levels are expressed in units of dB or dB(Lin). This is used to express the lower frequency music noise levels at the octave bands of 31.5 Hz, 63 Hz and 125 Hz as it provides a better assessment of low frequency noise when the absolute level is higher than in typical ambient noise situations.

Hz The Hertz (Hz) is the unit that quantifies the number of cycles per second and refers to the frequency of a particular noise.

L90 Noise level exceeded for 90% of the measurement period.

L10 Noise level exceeded for 10% of the measurement period.

Leq, 5min Equivalent continuous noise level measured over a period of five minutes and representing an approximate average of the noise level over the period. Five minutes has been adopted to capture shorter term increases in the noise level and to make measurements at residential locations simpler.

Leq, 15min Equivalent continuous noise level measured over a period of 15 minutes and representing an approximate average of the noise level over the period.

Lmax Octave band The route meets squared maximum noise level in a given measurement period. The frequency spectrum of a noise is divided into discrete octave bands, each described by the band’s centre frequency (e.g. 31.5, 63, 125, 250, 500, 1000, 2000, 4000, 8000 HZ).

Class 1 or Class 2 The applicable Class for a Sound Level Meter is defined by IEC 61672-1:2013. Class 1 and Class 2 devices are acceptable for field use. The Class of a Sound Level Meter is specified by the manufacturer.

Sound Level Meter A Sound Level Meter is a device capable of measuring sound pressure levels. Noise loggers- A noise logger is a Sound Level Meter capable of automatically saving sound levels measured sequentially over an extended period of time for future analysis. Noise loggers are often placed in environmental enclosures to allow for installation over periods that may extend from days to several months.
