NOISE ABATEMENT
No formal action was necessary tinder the provisions of the Noise
Abatement Act, 1960, but a number of complaints were dealt with informally.
The Act provides that a complaint of the existence of a nuisance
may be made by three or more persons each of whom is the occupier of land
or premises and in that capacity is aggrieved by the nuisance. The Act
does not apply to noise or vibration from aircraft and in proceedings it
is a defence to prove that the best practicable means have been adopted
for preventing the nuisance.
FACTORIES ACTS. 1957 TO 1959
Prescribed particulars required by section 12,8 (3) in respect of
matters under Part I and Part VIII of the Act which are administered by
the District Council.
