Neighbourhood noise such as power tools and loud music can be problematic, but there are steps you can take to resolve any problems that may arise.
Your first steps should always be speaking to your neighbour to see if you can work out a solution together. If that isn't possible, or if the problem persists, you can take further action.
Visit the Environment Protection Authority website for details of the law on neighbourhood issues. Their website details your legal rights and any restrictions, as well as their advice for seeking abatement orders.
To raise a noise issue to Council, contact our Customer Service Centre on 9707 9000.
