District plan (example)

Look at how noise and vibration is dealt with in your local district plan. It will apply to both the construction process and the design, materials, etc. of the actual building.


Go to the Hamilton District Plan: Hamilton District Plan website

1. Find Chapter 25.8 Noise and vibration.
2. Have a quick look at how noise and vibration are addressed with a city’s district plan.

In 25.8.3 you will find specific rules, especially those that relate to acceptable noise levels (at different times) for different zones of the city.
