Building works & delivery hours

Applying for an after-hours building work (noise) permit

Legally, building work and deliveries that make an audible noise must only take place between 6:30am and 6:30pm Monday to Saturday. No work is allowed on Sundays and public holidays.

We may issue an after-hours building work (noise) exemption permit if:

  • works cannot be completed during standard work hours
  • works cause a danger to public safety during standard work hours
  • the work zone affects public infrastructure, for example, light rail
  • works would cause unacceptable traffic impact if done within standard work hours.
