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
Â鶹ÊÓƵ does not allow outdoor events to take place after 9pm.
Noise control is covered by the Environmental Protection Act 1990.
