Construction Noise Regulations Perth
Noise complaints can shut down your project. Here are the rules every Perth builder must follow.
Permitted Construction Hours
Monday to Saturday: 7:00am to 7:00pm. No construction work on Sundays or public holidays (residential areas). Some local councils have stricter rules — check with your specific council.
CBD and Commercial Areas
Extended hours may be permitted with approval. Night work requires specific noise management plans. Some CBD projects work nights specifically because of daytime pedestrian restrictions.
Noise Management
Use quieter equipment where possible. Notify neighbours before noisy work. Erect noise barriers for extended projects. Monitor noise levels at site boundary. Keep records of complaints and responses.
Penalties
Noise regulation breaches can result in infringement notices ($1,000-$5,000) and potentially stop-work orders from local council environmental health officers.
