Complaints Process
Noise incident register
- We will keep a noise incident register. This is the responsibility of the duty manager. It will list the details of:
- any complaint we receive along with the complainant’s contact details.
- any excessive noise direction, noise abatement notice, or non-compliance notice served to the premises, or any seizure of equipment, and the action taken to resolve the issue.
- The noise incident register shall be made available to Council upon request.
- Local residents will be able to contact us for any complaints or queries regarding noise coming from the premises. They can contact us by: Contacting the Club directly on (09)376-2909 and ask for Duty Manager or email us: kris@greylynnrsc.org.nz.
- We will advertise the availability of this process to the public by placing it on our website WWW.greylynnrsc.org.nz and post on front and back entrances of the premises.
- All complaints received will be recorded, investigated, and followed up as follows:
