City of Brampton amends noise by-law to maintain community well-being
The Voice of Canada :
Building on its commitment to ensuring Brampton remains a healthy and safe community, the Public Nuisance By-law 136-2018 has been amended to prohibit excessive noise, emissions and emission control system modifications and testing.
The amendments to Public Nuisance By-law 136-2018 include:
• Mufflers or other devices, which emit loud, explosive or unreasonable noises are not permitted to be installed, including modified mufflers or exhaust systems.
• Power devices, such as lawnmowers, grass trimmers, drills, sanders, grinders or similar devices are not permitted for use out of doors within a Residential Area between the hours of 9 pm and 7 am, except until 9 am on Saturdays, Sundays and Statutory Holidays.
• Repairing, rebuilding, modifying or testing out of doors any Motor Vehicle, motorboat, outboard motor or recreational vehicle is not permitted within a Residential Area between the hours of 9 pm and 7 am, except until 9 am on Saturdays, Sundays and Statutory Holidays.
City of Brampton Enforcement and By-law Services staff will continue to enforce this by-law, while Peel Regional Police and Ontario Provincial Police maintain their responsibility to investigate moving, stopped, or idling vehicles on a public roadway (City or Regional road) governed by the Highway Traffic Act.
Residents, visitors and businesses are encouraged to review the amended by-law and contact Service Brampton by calling 311 or 905.874.2000 (outside of Brampton), using the Brampton 311 app (available on App Store or Google Play), visiting www.311brampton.ca or emailing 311@brampton.ca for any inquiries.
