Thread: range noise complaint

As a local, non club member and shooter. I see both arguments.
The property is reasonably close. Only about 200 250m.

The key being he had lived there for 2 years with no complaints. He was obviously happy with the noise levels when he brought the property. It was once a neighbouring property removed their trees that acted as a sound barrier. So it's not the clubs doing nor is it him “being a karen"

The club is acting within its resource consent as far as I'm wear with noise levels. So it's not their fault. It will be frustrating for both parties.

Nothing stopping him from planting trees / creating some form of noise barrier. But that will take time obviously.

Problem being is if the council do something about it it sets a precedent for other clubs, businesses etc.


Much more acceptable than the firearms business owner who moved next to a gun club then organised the neighbours to complain.
