Noise Control and Noisy Neighbours (S3: Episode 19)

  • Summary

  • I want to talk to you in this episode about noise control and noisy neighbors in a strata community. When there are allegations of noises caused by neighbors, it is on the complainant to prove that the noise is unreasonable. This means that a once-off noise would be insufficient to get the attention of the strata community. Getting proof means sufficient proof. And there needs to be a demonstration that it's repetitive and it's no longer, or it's hindering you from enjoying your property. So, this means this could include noises that are caused when it's already sleeping hours, especially during working hours, or pass a certain time, if it's the weekends. Do investigate your local council's rules when it comes to what noise is permitted within certain periods of time. And that could be the start of you identifying whether there's been unreasonable noise caused by neighbors and gathering all evidence. And that demonstrates, that means and includes recording times and dates so that you can demonstrate that it's been going on too much and it's no longer reasonable. Once that's put together, your proofs and your timetable of how often has been happening, you can then lodge a complaint with the strata community to trigger the dispute resolution process. This way, your complaint in respect of noise issues or noisy neighbors, is paid attention to by the strata community. And it's important to note that these noisy neighbor issues would usually be paid attention to by the strata community if it's happening within your development. It's another discussion, but there are legal remedies for that available to you if it's another neighbor outside of the development.
