A Noise Management Plan (NMP) is a document that demonstrated how noise pollution at an event will be managed. In addition, it illustrates what levels of noise are acceptable to maintain compliance with local noise regulations.
The purpose of an NMP is to minimise the impact on the local community through the implementation of specific noise strategies and the monitoring thereof to ensure their effectiveness. Consequently, aiming to establish and maintain a positive relationship with the local community.
Generally, NMP's are only useful at outdoor events and/or for outdoor event venues. Outdoor events can produce a significant level of noise from a variety of activities including stage acts, event entertainment and bump-in (setup) and bump-out (pack down) activities.
