Noise management

​​

​​​​​​​Queensland Rail is aware that those living close to our railway lines or ​​within transport noise corridors can experience varying levels of noise.

While noise from the operation of a railway is exempt from environmental nuisance provisions under the Queensland Environment Protection Act 1994, Queensland Rail strives to manage noise associated with its operations wherever reasonable and practical. 

There are various sources of noise from a railway and to aid efficient and effective noise reduction, a range of noise management measures are utilised. Find out more below.
