    Residents of any building that doesn’t have a reasonable set of by-laws covering noisy work are probably regretting that right now.

    Basically, TV shows like The Block are an insult to apartment residents as there is no place in unit blocks for hobby renovators.

    My building does not allow any renovations at weekends, or noisy work [except] between 8 am and 5 pm.  These rules are not draconian, they are common sense.

    You do, however, have recourse through your right to the peacful enjoyment of your lot. Check that out and think seriously about taking action at Fair Trading, in the first instance, to try to achieve a compromise, by-laws or not.
