For too long residents in the Bayside local council area have had to put up with noisy vehicles interrupting their peace. The NSW Government is taking action to end that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The NSW Labor Government committed in the election to trialling noise cameras and cracking down on cars that disturb the peace. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Residents are now being invited to provide input into the noise camera trial, which is due to start in the coming months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA) will trial noise cameras in Bayside and Wollongong in response to community concerns about the impact of noisy vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Residents can make suggestions on where the noise cameras should be trialled, via the EPA\u2019s website. The EPA plans to test the moveable cameras at several locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vehicle noise cameras are an emerging technology currently being tested in various formats in major cities around the world, including in London, Paris and New York. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In NSW, the EPA works in partnership with local government, NSW Police and NSW Roads and Maritime Services to enforce noise control regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
