Residents complain of noise

A number of Empire Bay have complained to Gosford Council about excessive noise emanating from the Empire Bay Tavern.

A petition to the council stated that, for many years, the 15 residents experienced no problems with the trading at the Empire Bay Tavern.

But from the time of its recent change in ownership, the petitioners claimed there had been considerable noise from live bands playing Tuesday, Thursday and Friday nights during the week and both Saturday and Sunday.

The petitioners stated that the noise is so excessive, they have had to close exterior windows to block the noise from living areas.

They requested that council investigate with a view of placing strict noise restrictions on the licensee.
