A: Yes, this is possible. However, consideration should be given to two noise-related areas:

  • Compliance with the registered noise by-laws of the strata scheme and;
  • Section 153 of the Legislation outlines that owners or occupiers must not use their lot in a manner that causes a nuisance or hazard to an occupier of another lot

Ensuring you follow the noise by-laws and Legislation will support harmonious community living.
