Things to consider when organising an event

Public address systems

Most recreation grounds are in or next to residential areas.

If you plan to use a public address system, disruption and annoyance to residents must be minimised:

  • When planning the event layout, identify residential areas and position the speakers in the opposite direction
  • Restrict the duration and frequency of use
  • Regularly check the noise levels at the perimeter of the site

Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ does not allow outdoor events to take place after 9pm.

Noise control is covered by the Environmental Protection Act 1990.
