Noise Pollution

IN recent days, due to the Sydney light rail construction, the night work was started on Anzac Parade which near my living place. There are some construction noise during the midnight. Although the noise is not really loud, it still affect my sleep  quality .

It makes me check about the noise problem about the construction site. However, it just apply for the city centre. In the regulation of the City of Sydney,  the construction must be carried out between 0700 and 1900 on weekdays and in Saturday can just be started from 0700 to 1700. There are also have the noise criteria. During the first working hour, there is no more than 5dB above the background. After that, there is no more 10dB above background noise level at all other times. 

The neighbor  have right to complain if the noise problem is too disturbing. The City of Sydney can restrict the equipment and time of the construction
