Noise complaints
The responsibility of enforcing noise control regulations is a shared responsibility between the Environment Protection Authority (EPA), local government, the Waterways Authority and NSW Police Force.
Details about noise control, dealing with noise (neighbourhood, barking dogs, intruder alarms, noise from vehicles, noise abatement orders) and contacts for noise pollution can be found at www.epa.nsw.gov.au/noise/
If you require police to attend to a noise complaint, telephone the Police Assistance Line on 131 444, who will arrange for police to attend.
Bowral Police Chief Inspector Brendan Bernie said callers would need to tell the operator the exact location the noise was coming from and describe the type of noise.
“Police and council can issue a warning or issue a noise abatement direction directing a person to stop making the offensive noise,” he said.
Offensive noise can be any noise that, by reason of its level, nature, character or quality, or the time at which it is made, or any other circumstances is harmful to (or is likely to be harmful to) a person who is outside the premises, or interferes unreasonably with the comfort or repose of a person who is outside the premises from which it is emitted.
A noise abatement direction may be issued at any time of the day or night and can remain in force for up to 28 days from the time it was issued.
A person who fails to comply with it can be issued with an on-the-spot fine of $200 ($400 for a corporation).
