Environmental Noise Policy
Last modified: March 11, 2009 - 4:52 PM
The purpose of this Policy is to assist Council to deal fairly, consistently and effectively to noise complaints and noise offences.
The Policy relates to noise from private and public property and includes the residential, industrial and commercial sectors. It also includes noise from a number of sources such as air conditioners, vehicles, refrigeration units, power tools and equipment, musical instruments and burglar alarms. This Policy provides a guide to the most appropriate way to deal with noise issues and helps to determine which agency(s) should be involved in helping to address unacceptable noise. This Policy does not specifically relate to noise matters dealt with as part of a proposed Development. It does however advocate for appropriate thought and planning to go into new developments so that future noise issues arising from those developments may be minimised.
