Abstract
This Act provides for the control and reduction of noise in general and in particular in noise abatement zones declared as such under this Act.

The Act further: provides for the control of noise on construction sites and consent by the Minister to carry out engineering works; prescribes offences in relation with noise; grants powers to the Minister to declare, by Order, an area of Dominica to be a noise abatement zone; and provides for control and abatement of noise in such area.
