(Induction) Medina Hall

We ask you to be considerate and to take measures to contain all noise within the Hall, particularly during the evenings. In Western Australia, noise within a property is controlled by the Environmental Protection (Noise) Regulations 1997. The regulations set decibel levels for different times of the day and week that should not be exceeded at the property boundary. The levels vary during the day to reflect the changes in sensitivity to noise in residential areas. The noise levels are least restrictive during the day on weekdays. The levels are lower in the evenings, 7pm to 10pm, and on weekends and public holidays. From 10pm onwards, only background environmental noise should be audible. These Regulations are enforced by Police Officers and City of Kwinana Authorised Noise Officers. Consider placement of your speakers and any noise generating equipment. Direct any speakers inwards and downwards to contain noise within the hall. Lower your volume and turn any bass noise down after 7pm. walking outside and listen for noise from the hall. If you can make out the actual words to a song or hear the bass of the music, the noise is too loud and needs to be turned down. By 10pm, there should be no noise heard outside at all. Remember to ask your guests to leave quietly and say goodbyes inside.
