Understanding Noise Impacts
The Environmental Protection Agency is the governing body that guides entertainment venues and events to ensure noise does not exceed noise limits.
For each event we host, we work with the event organiser on noise modelling to minimise the impact on our residents. There are several factors that can affect noise bleed, including wind, rain and stage positions.
If the noise is impacting you at your place of residence, you can call 03 8378 0623, and we can send a noise consultant to run a noise reading over a 15-minute period to assess its compliance. All readings will be reported to the Environmental Protection Agency.
