Experience a community committed to balancing vibrant events with peaceful living through effective noise management. Whether you're organizing a large festival or a small gathering, understanding noise regulations helps keep our neighbourhood harmonious and enjoyable for all.
When hosting or attending events in Victoria Park, noise levels must comply with the Environmental Protection (Noise) Regulations 1997. Organisers of large events may apply for a Regulation 18 approval to exceed standard noise limits, but only two such approvals can be issued per venue within any 12-month period. Residents can expect responsive noise complaint handling by the Town's Environmental Health Officers and noise specialists.
- Large events with Regulation 18 approvals have a dedicated noise complaint line.
- Minor event noise complaints can be reported to the Town during business hours.
- After-hours noise issues are handled via an out-of-hours service or police assistance if immediate.
- Compliance with noise regulations ensures community wellbeing and event success.
This service and information apply to all public and private event venues within the Town of Victoria Park, Western Australia. Residents and event organisers can access support via phone or email from the Town's Administration Building located at 99 Shepperton Road.
Noise complaints during business hours can be made by calling (08) 9311 8111 or emailing envhealth@vicpark.wa.gov.au. After hours, calls are transferred to an out-of-hours service where messages can be left. Immediate noise disturbances should be reported to the Police Assistance Centre on 131 444. The Town enforces noise regulations to protect residents while supporting community events.
There is no cost for residents to report noise complaints or to access information about noise management. Event organisers seeking Regulation 18 approvals must apply through the Town, with conditions and possible fees detailed upon application.
