Police may be called to investigate excessive noise coming from amplified music, motors, generators and guests at a party or a residence.
Excessive noise from your party can be reported to police, 24 hours a day, seven days a week and once reported will be investigated. If we are reasonably satisfied the noise is excessive in the circumstances police have the power to enter the premises, without warrant, and give the person responsible for the noise a noise abatement direction.
The noise abatement direction will direct the person to immediately stop the excessive noise and not to make any excessive noise for 96 hours after the direction is given (or 48 hours for a noise abatement given in relation to a motorbike being used on a place that is not a road).
We encourage people to keep their noise levels to a minimum.
The most recent Noise Abatement Direction was issued at around 9.25pm on May 30 and is effective until 9.25pm on June 3. The excessive noise related to a stereo.
During May, police have attended the following areas and issued Noise Abatement Directions:
