Simple terms explainer
Councils must ensure that motorcycles and associated equipment supplied to consumers comply with legal noise requirements. This includes checking that motorcycles and their exhaust systems meet applicable standards designed to limit excessive noise and are not marketed or supplied in a way that breaches regulatory requirements. Councils can investigate complaints, inspect products, remove non-compliant products from sale, and take enforcement action where necessary.
