  • in carrying on any excavation, filling or other operation; or
  • in moving, or operating any machine, engine or equipment;

Temporary Noise Exemption Permit

A Temporary Noise Exemption Permit may be obtained for those construction activities that are exceptionally noisy or for construction activity that must extend beyond the allowable hours because of exigent circumstances

  • If planning any activities outside of these hours, you must apply for a Noise Exemption Permit (approval is not guaranteed).
  • Permit fees apply. 

Please ensure all trades are in compliance with the Noise Bylaw.  

Construction work which does not generate noise is allowed outside of these hours.
