NOISE IN DOMESTIC AREAS
The Environment Protection Authority is the Department responsible for noise in
domestic areas. Information can be obtained from them by phone
1800 623 445 or on the internet at www.epa.sa.gov.au .Noise from domestic
premises includes music and party noise, band and drum practice, trail bikes,
revving motor vehicles, hammering, and other non-mechanical construction
noise. When it interferes with the enjoyment of an area by any person living in or
otherwise using it, the noise becomes environmental harm. As these criteria
cannot be measured, they must be assessed subjectively by an attending police
officer, taking into account the time of day and background noise level. The
internet site contains information pertaining to days and times residents are
permitted to use equipment that makes excessive noise. Council would like to
remind residents of the need to have regard for their neighbours.
The following information is available on the EPA’s website:
