    Environmental Protection (via local councils) has limits on noisy work or use of power tools, but they are basically not too early in the morning at weekends and not too late at night on weekdays, although each council may have its own rules.

    Most strata schemes have their own by-laws on this.  For many it restricts work to during the day on weekdays (8am to 5pm), not after midday on Saturdays and not at all on Sundays.

    But this differs from strata scheme to strata scheme.

    It may well be that your neighbour has heard about a by-law in another scheme and assumed it was a universal rule.
