Port Noise Liaison Committee

The Port Noise Liaison Committee provides a forum to monitor the Port’s performance against the Port Noise Management Plan.

The committee’s role is to:

Implement and develop the Port Noise Management Plan and the port’s Mitigation Plan;
Review practices and procedures to reduce noise output from port operations; and
Encourage the port to maintain awareness of noise matters, via staff training and other pro-active steps.

The committee meets a minimum of four times annually and is made up of representatives from Port Chalmers community groups, port users, the Otago Regional Council, Dunedin City Council and Port Otago.
