Noise from trail or motorbikes is handled by the Police under Section 25 of the Environmental Protection Act, General environmental duty. Refer to SAPOL 131 444.

Noise from birds congregating in their own habitat is a matter for DEW. There is little that can be done unless the birds are being encouraged to congregate because they are being fed at that location. If this is the case, refer to council’s compliance officer.
