Environmental Nuisance - Noise

When investigating a noise complaint, Council considers the:

• amount of noise being emitted
• duration and rate of noise and the noise's characteristics and qualities
• sensitivity of the environment into which the noise is being emitted and the potential impacts
• view of other neighbours or complainants
  

Ways you can reduce noise emissions include:

• Consider the time of day and duration of noise require.
• Investigate the dBa level before use.
• Ensure noise generating apparatus is operated in accordance with manufacture guidelines.
• Conduct works within a workshop or erect appropriate noise barriers.
