I love the fact that people who move next to a racetrack can complain about the noise.

this happens all to frequently they (people) buy somewhere undesirable and scream and and moan till its fixed then their property value skyrockets and they sell up and move somewhere else that has a similar issue - by the way I hate those people - another example is those that buy right near a highway in melbourne then whine about the noise from the highway so noise barriers are erected which imho are an eyesore then the property owners' land value skyrockets - I feel these people are being whiny leeches on the community - but thats just me

There was a state (Vic) government law passed in the 90's I think it was regarding pubs, ha?? let me explain.

In the 90's many of the "cool chic" set started moving into flats in Richmond and Collingwood, a) it was cheap and b) it was closer to work for others. Anywho, suddenly a stream of complaints started about the noise levels of the pubs next to which many of them had moved. The state government realised that these people knew full well that they would be moving in next to such a place and ruled that ignorance was no excuse with regard to noise levels from the band nights in particular, but also from patrons arriving and leaving in the early hours.

I can't see why they can't extend this ruling to sports events........oh hang on that's right, it's Brumbies recession fight back scam, erm scheme, if you want to have fun in Vic then you can pay for it. I say this because I'm pretty sure that this rule has been overturned recently ( a couple of years ago ) because someone couldn't sleep in the house they just bought due to the noise from the local pub with very little objection by the government.

Just like the Tote in Collingwood, the only reason they're closing it down is because the land is now so valuable that the government would prefer developers to come in and increase the surrounding land value which in turn increases rates so everyones happy........ everyone that makes money out of it anyway.

That doesn't happen to be near the Melbourne airport by any chance? There are these bloodu ugly wood fence things near the estate there.

I like the new land development that is happening just at the start of the Tullamarine freeway, the old dump site which no doubt is turning into a housing estate.

I can see it now, Melbourne Airport being closed because of noise complaints What moron would build a house right near a bloody international airport?
