Under Section 79 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990, (as amended), councils have powers to deal with certain noise nuisances. These are deemed to be statutory noise nuisances. However, to enable the council to act, the noise must be coming from private land or property, or be generated by vehicles, machinery or equipment in the street. These powers apply not only in order to control existing noise, but also noise that is expected to occur or recur.
