The Port Noise Liaison Committee provides a forum to monitor the Port’s performance against the Port Noise Management Plan.
The committee’s role is to:
Implement and develop the Port Noise Management Plan and the port’s mitigation plan;
Review practices and procedures to reduce noise output from port operations; and
Encourage the port to maintain awareness of noise matters, via staff training and other pro-active steps.
The committee meets at least quarterly and is made up of representatives from Port Chalmers community groups, port users, Otago Regional Council, Dunedin City Council and Port Otago.

Port Otago takes noise complaints seriously. We encourage the community to contact us – any time, day or night – with any concerns or complaints. We aim to respond to complaints within 24 hours. This allows us time to investigate the source of the noise and respond with meaningful information.
If you wish to make a noise complaint, please either:
