Sound study recommends relocation of Brushy Creek Amphitheater

The study also offered a secondary recommendation: constructing a building around the amphitheater to contain the sound.

Failing those two options, Roland, Woolworth & Associates recommended the city continue operating at the current site, but put into place noise mitigation strategies such as using well-directed speakers, constructing a barrier to the north of the amphitheater and avoiding bass-heavy programming.

Hutto City Council discussed the study at its Oct. 21 meeting. Several council members spoke in favor of continuing to use the current site with no additions or renovations and simply curating the events held there to be less disruptive.

"I think if we make it more of a community center, have more niche events, have music that's part of the event—not the event—we could still get our use out of it," Mayor Mike Snyder said.

The council will hold a workshop in December to decide on a course of action for the amphitheater.
