Out-of-hours construction applications

An application is required when out-of-hours construction work is proposed. For works to proceed, an approval is required by the City prior to commencing.

Application information

Noise Management Plans

If construction work in the City of South Perth cannot be avoided outside the permitted hours of 7am to 7pm Monday to Saturday (excluding public holidays), and the noise emissions are likely to exceed the assigned levels of the Environmental Protection (Noise) Regulations 1997, you will need to apply for approval and submit a Noise Management Plan.

Important requirements

You need approval before any works can begin, even if your application and Noise Management Plan have been lodged and you are waiting for approval
Submitting an application and Noise Management Plan does not guarantee you will receive approval
The wellbeing and amenity of residents is a priority, so the City does not routinely approve night works on a Sunday night onto a Monday or at other times if the justification for the works is not valid, or the works can be undertaken during normal construction hours.

Requirements of a Noise Management Plan

All Noise Management Plans submitted to the City must include the following information:

The construction work was carried out in accordance with control of environmental noise practices set out in section 4 of AS 2436-2010 Guide to noise and vibration control on construction, demolition and maintenance sites
Justification, where works are to be conducted out of usual hours
Equipment used on the premises was the quietest reasonably available
Names and contact details
Location of the works
Details and duration of all activities on the construction site likely to result in noise emissions that fail to comply with the standard prescribed under regulation 7 of the Environmental Protection (Noise) Regulations 1997
Predictions of noise emissions on the site
Details of noise and vibration control measures to be implemented
Methods of noise and vibration monitoring during the works
Complaint recording and response procedures.
