Noise Complaint
Thank you for your information request dated 10 October 2025, regarding any noise
complaints made about 16 Manuka Rd. The specific details of your request and our
response is below.
Watercare owns 12, 14, 18, and 20 Manuka Rd (down a private ROW) but we don't own 16
Manuka Rd, and we get emails from that owner saying they've made 'complaints'
regarding noise from our tenants at 14 Manuka Rd.
That owner can't supply any evidence of such complaints having been made (or
investigated) which we need in order to serve any Breach Notice on our tenant for
disturbing the Neighbourhood.
We therefore request Auckland Council records for any noise complaints made for 14
Manuka Rd in the last 12 months. The complaints don't have to have specifically come
from #16, but any complaints lodged would be helpful.
The two addresses were mixed up... It is 14 Manuka that is privately owned, and our
tenant the noise complaints have been made about is at 16 Manuka Rd. So it is a request
for any noise complaints made about 16 Manuka Rd I am seeking records of (not noise
complaints about 14 Manuka Rd)
In response to your request, I consulted with the council’s Licensing and Environmental
Health (Noise) department to obtain relevant information. I have been advised that the
team reviewed their records for the past year and were unable to locate any noise
complaints against the property in question.
Decisions regarding the information being released to you were made by
Mervyn Chetty,
Manager for Licensing and Environmental Health, Licensing and Compliance.
Should you believe Auckland Council has not responded appropriately to your request you
have the right to seek a review of the decision from the Ombudsman.
