Well i seen it all today,got on job about 730 this morning gradually all other trades arrived ,at the peak we had ramset guns firing pins in to steel columns ,grinder cutting steel, magnetic drills drilling holes in steel ,concrete guy drilling holes thru concrete floors an excavator digging trench behind us...everything that was loud was there,
11am smoko the cops arrive and tell us to turn the radio down cos they had a complaint, you couldnt here the fkn radio half the time and the nearest house was about 50 m away, so they made the complaint....the irony is they owned the land and sold it all qnd just kept about 1000 sqm for themselves
wait ror tomorrow we all got together and moved most the stuff to be drilled and cut 20m closer to them
 
Like the fckers that buy posh houses near old pubs then complain about the noise and get the pub shut down

By the way thats not irony, they're just A-holes
 
It's not just the local council - they base their rules off the EPA.

EPA (a state department, not federal) guidelines differ from state to state. Vic dept says 7am start is ok Mon - Sat, and 9am on Sunday. Construction/renovation noise must cease by 8pm. In NSW it's 7am to 6pm (standard hours) on weekdays and 9am to 1pm Saturday with NO work on Sundays (remember, they're "standard hours"). Work outside these hours may be permitted upon application.
 
some house reno show on tv mentioned they couldn,t use any electric tools on a Public Holiday.

Admittedly I didn't check that out, but it wouldn't surprise me. And sooner or later they'll add school holidays to the exclusions, along with birthdays, anniversaries and any day ending in a 'y'.

Pretty sure that's just for commercial works. Hate to be stuck next to a building site that didn't have any restrictions. Doesn't mean DIY can't use power tools on Sunday, you wouldn't be able to mow the lawn then either. DIYers still need to not make 'excessive noise' though.
 
When making loud noises during construction jobs the golden rule is just dont wake any babies!

Then you'll know the true meaning of trouble

I have a story involving a rotary hammer drill and a customers 3 month old... Not ideal
