Preventing Neighbourhood Noise
Neighbourhood noise, such as noise from animals, alarms, machines and parties can be very annoying. You can often stop noise that disturbs you without involving your Council, Police or Department of the Environment and Climate Change. This website outlines steps you can take to prevent noise being an issue for you.
Dealing with Neighbourhood Noise Brochures are available at Council's office between 8.30am & 5pm Monday to Friday.
Under the Protection of the Environment Operations Act 1997 (POEO Act) Council can serve various notices on people occupying homes and businesses, requiring them to control offensive noise and advising them what noise levels are acceptable.
A prevention notice contains conditions on ways of preventing or stopping noise, and is issued under section 96 of the POEO Act.
Council is unable to act upon anonymous calls or letters.
