Noise

• Barking Dogs

  Incessant barking can indicate a problem with your dog’s happiness or health, and affect your relations with your neighbours.

• Licensed Premises

  There are provisions to control noise from premises which hold a liquor license and where the noise unduly disturbs the local neighbourhood.

• Air Conditioners

  Correct design, installation and maintenance of an air-conditioner can reduce noise impact.

  Intruder alarm systems are used in cars and buildings to protect against theft. Alarms are only permitted to sound for a set time.

  Powered garden tools, electric or pneumatic tools, chainsaws or circular saws; gas or air compressors, swimming pool or spa pumps are restricted between the hours of 8:00pm to 7:00am on week days, 8:00pm to 8:00am on weekends and public holidays.
