Sydney Opera House Noise Complaint

Sydney Opera House Fined $15,000 Following Noise Complaint

The Sydney Opera House has been fined $15,000 for breaching noise restrictions at an outdoor concert at the venue back in November 2015

It has been announced this week that the iconic Sydney Opera House has been fined AUD $15,000 for breaching noise restrictions at an outdoor concert at the venue.

It is understood the internationally-renowned performing arts complex was successfully sued by the ‘Opera House Concerned Citizens Group’, a collective of nearby residential neighbours - following an outdoor ‘Florence and the Machine’ rock concert, attended by more than 6,000 revelers, in November 2015.

The litigious action-group made claim the concert sound levels amounted to noise pollution, that the attendees caused significant disruption to the local area - and that the temporary stage structures, erected for the concert, constituted an eyesore.

The $15,000 fine is the highest possible issuable in the State for breaching noise restrictions.
