New noise barriers
New noise barriers are typically constructed in one of three ways:
- By the developer, where deemed necessary at the time that development occurs;
- By The City, when a roadway adjacent to an existing residential community is upgraded and the need for noise mitigated is deemed necessary; or
- By qualifying for a new barrier under the Noise Barrier Program, when budget is allocated by Council.
There are 11 priority locations that are eligible for construction in the 2023-26 budget cycle. View the full list of priority locations.
