Noise

Unless you have made special arrangements with your neighbours, keep loud equipment noise to a reasonable time limit (2 hours) each day to keep the peace in the neighbourhood. Chainsaws, lawn mowers and motorbikes should not be used before 7am or after 7pm Monday to Saturday or before 9am on Sundays and public holidays. Permission from the owner is required for any use of motorbikes or chainsaws on property that you do not own.

For parties, noise should be reduced after 7pm and kept to an absolute minimum after 10pm until 7am the next day or 9am on Sunday mornings.

For further information, please contact the Environmental Health Officer on 9622 6131, or email health@northam.wa.gov.au.
