Local Nuisance
The Local Nuisance and Litter Control Act 2016 (the Act) came into effect as of 1 July 2017. The Act formalises the role of Local Government in managing local nuisance issues to provide consistency of services in relation to littering and activities that cause nuisance at a local level, such as noise, smoke, odour and dust. The legislation is new both to our community and to Council, therefore in the first instance discussing concerns with source of the nuisance (ie neighbour) is encouraged as they may not be aware.

Council will try to work with the person causing the alleged nuisance to try and resolve the matter. Often just making the other party aware that the activity is causing a nuisance encourages them to address the issue.

Notice of Current Exemptions - Section 19 Local Nuisance and Litter Control Act 2016. The Act allows Councils to consider the granting of an exemption from local nuisance-causing activities upon application. Councils can apply strict conditions to ensure that an applicant does everything reasonable to minimise the impact of the nuisance.
