Take Action
Take Action to help us lobby the NSW Minister for the Environment and the NSW EPA to change the POEO (Noise Control) Regulation to prevent the operation of motorised recreational vehicles on private land within 500 metres of another residence and on any private land without a permit. We want laws that protect residents from unreasonable noise from this activity similar to the laws already in place in Tasmania and many regions of Victoria. The EPA Tasmania implemented a state-wide 500 metre separation rule for "noise sources with exceptionally high potential for nuisance at close range, where the noise levels emitted by Accepted Modern Technology (AMT) are far above what is acceptable to most people; the particular characteristics of noise from both motor vehicles, such as trail bikes, and motor vessels can be exceptionally irritating" (EPA Tasmania). Many regions of Victoria have Council Local Laws that prevent the use of vehicles for recreation with 500 metres of another persons residence or require permits to operate at all.
