    Just so everyone knows who to contact, wherever you are, if you are in NSW and there is a noise issue in your building and the Executive Committee won’t take action, you can do so yourself, whether you are and owner or a tenant, by going directly to Fair Trading (Tel. 13 32 20) to get this problem sorted.

    You can download an application form for mediation (mandatory before you can take any further action) HERE. If mediation fails, you can then apply for an adjudication at the CTTT.  You can download the form from HERE.

    If that fails you can go to your district court and apply for a Noise Abatement Order (see above for NSW).

    In Victoria, go here for strata disputes and  here for general noise restrictions.

    For strata in Queensland it’s a little complicated: go here then click on “by-laws” in the ‘I want to find out about …’ box. 

    For local government noise restrictions, here are the relevant links for Brisbane and the Gold Coast.

    For noise issues in South Australia, go HERE and for general strata disputes go HERE.

    If you have a tenancy problem, go HERE for advice from your local Tenants Union or equivalent service. There is also a page of links to various state bodies HERE.
