We will ask:

Nuisance Complaints
Noise from loud music or air conditioners, or air emissions such as smoke from wood heaters may be found to be a nuisance under the Public Health and Wellbeing Act 2008. Our Environmental Health Officers investigate nuisance complaints taking into account the degree of interference, duration and intensity.
The Environmental Protection Act 1970 regulates noise from residential premises – find out more about noise time restrictions.
To report a nuisance that falls under these regulations, contact our Environmental Health Officer on 9747 7200.
