Noise Policy
At King Parrot Cottages & Event Centre we are bound by regulations around excessive noise as determined by the Environment Protection Authority of Victoria.
There are neighbourhood properties in the valley and noise does travel unhindered around the hills and through the bush, especially at nighttime.
Our policy is to have a minimal environmental impact so that others may enjoy the peace and beauty of Pennyroyal Valley.
Management of King Parrot reserves the right to control the level of all noise created on the property at all times.
Amplified music is not allowed outdoors at any time unless management has given prior approval.
Where the entire property is hired exclusively for functions, parties or weddings the following conditions apply:
• Music must never exceed 85 decibels
All doors must remain closed during the playing of amplified music.
• Music must be turned off by 11.00pm
• Those designated with the role of conducting music during events are to have prior consultation with Management.
