Noise regulations fact sheet - Regulation 14 Residential equipment

Fact sheet
Guidance for users of the Environmental Protection (Noise) Regulations 1997 (Noise Regulations) in relation to noise emitted from the use of ‘specified equipment’ on residential premises.
Last updated:

The Noise Regulations set assigned (allowable) noise levels for noise received at various types of premises. However, the regulations create several special cases where noise emissions may not be required to meet these assigned levels.

Under regulation 14, the assigned noise levels set in regulations 7 and 8 do not apply to noise emitted as a result of the use of specified equipment on residential premises, provided it is used in a reasonable manner and within certain timeframes between particular hours.
