I believe the Lake is a place of peace, recreation and nature. Concerts should not be allowed there. The noise is unbearable.(Germiston, 2018-09-29)

We work hard and also deserve peace over a weekend without continuous noise(Germiston, 2018-09-29)

The noise even occurs during the hours the church service is on the way in First Avenue. It is quite difficult to worship with such noise in the background.(Germiston, 2018-09-29)

The noise is unbearable. Its music, drums and a DJ with a mic and super sized speakers going on untill 2/3 am and we need to work the next day. Go book out FNB stadium if you want to party without disturbing fellow citizens(Germiston, 2018-09-29)

We are unable to sleep due to the noise even though we live 1Km from the lake. All loud noise should stop 23h00 at the latest.(Germiston, 2018-09-29)

The noise levels created by the organisers are intolerable, it is unacceptable to be a nuisance in a residential area until 02:30(Germiston, 2018-09-29)

The Germiston Lake and surroundings have always been a peaceful environment, that is why I moved here. It is my right as a citizen and tax payer of the city of Germiston that my environment should be treated with respect. The lake grounds etc. should not be made available for any events of any kind that could have high noise levels. Reserve it for parkruns and family picnics only.(Germiston, 2018-09-29)

Not fair that we have to suffer and hear such loud music so late so often. I work at a hospital so work over the weekends she hard when I get no sleep. Move the music to hear the golf course and school so not so near residential area(Denless, 2018-09-29)

Noise of parties at Germiston lake is way too loud. We can’t sleep. It makes our lives difficult and miserable. Especially Friday 28 September 2018 and the week end before. These insane loud noises need to stop as at very inconsiderate.(Germiston, 2018-09-29)

I am tired of noise and the terrible behavior. Alcohol is abused and the taxis cause mayhem. Drunk people racing up witsrifel / blackreef st all day and night. Ambulance and police sirens all the time. Enough is enough(Germiston, 2018-09-29)

These functions at the lake are annoying to all residents in the surrounding suburbs of Germiston. The noise levels are so high, it's impossible for anyone to sleep at night.(Germiston, 2018-09-29)

The noise coming from the functions disturbs the peace Also people travelling away from the lake after such fuctions are often drunk and cause danger on the roads.(Germiston, 2018-09-29)
#66
As a resident of this area for the past 40 years the noise levels from these events are excessive, and sometimes carry on until 04h00. This is total disrespectful to the residents and the rubbish left in the roads after the event FOR DAYS is a hasard to people driving on these roads. We pay the taxes for this area and deserve to our area to be clean and quite.(Germiston, 2018-09-29)

The music was so loud on the night of September 28th that I woke up at 2 in the morning with our windows banging and it sounding like the party is in my lounge there after I heard a car accident which was likely traffic for the function. I have a 3 year old who is sick that was awake at 2 due to noise I think it is very inappropriate that this type of functions are allowed in a suburb where kids live.(Germiston, 2018-09-29)

Excessive noise(Germiston, 2018-09-29)

I thinkk it is digusting that the disturbance is so loud that we can hear every word over the sound system here in Castleview. This is a gross disregard of our right to a peaceful enviroment. The fact that the municipality allows this is a kick in the face of residents in the area. We need a change in government.(Germiston, 2018-09-29)

People "partying" at the lake also need to stop any loud music at 24h00 as ALL citizens are suppose to. They are inconsiderate of all and everybody's needs except their own selfish wants..ACTUALLY Partying at the Lake should be STOPPED COMPLETLY.(Albemarle, Germiston, 2018-09-30)

Noise levels in this neighbourhood is rediculous and the law is not being upheld 10 o clock at night is cutoff time according to the law This is a criminal offence if the noise levels are too high.(Germiston, 2018-09-30)
#131
This is a residential area with babies, young children and elderly people living across the road from the lake. The excessive noise makes it impossible to relax and enjoy ones home environment and affects the value of our property!The lake was meant as a family relaxation space, for braais, picnics, children to enjoy the facilities and to be out in nature.
Functions, concerts, and rap gatherings should be held in proper venues that specially cater for this type of entertainment, away from residential areas, where the noise is disruptive.
The lake is a place of beauty and should be enjoyed as such. A getaway from the hurly burly of our frantic pace of life, a peaceful haven!!!

I live down the road from lake. Noise levels are terrible extending till 2am in the mornings. Seems like it's every Friday night, Saturday night and Sundays. Are huge functions and outdoor events even allowed in residential areas without consent of residents? Animals and wildlife also being scared off(Germiston, 2018-09-30)

Rules and regulations should apply to everyone having blaring music after midnight shouldn't be allowed(Germiston, 2018-09-30)
#146
They are not abiding to the bylaws.(Hazeldene, 2018-09-30)
#147
I think it is pathetic that the useless CancER management of CoE and in particular the Community services and Community safety clowns allows these hideous functions to take place at the cost of the sanity of the rate paying citizens of the area. We could hear the noise as far as Mimosa Park and Elsburg for the three days and into ungodly hours. These majority indigents have no shame or respect for anyone but their own pleasure. I hope next time all their sound equipment burns out.(Germiston, South Africa, 2018-09-30)

The lake has had a three day function on over this past weekend. Event went past 3:30am on Sunday 30th September. There is no accountability and no recourse for us as residents.(Germiston, 2018-09-30)
#152
The noise levels are unacceptable and we do not get any sleep. Even our dogs are restless and I feel so sorry for families with young kids that need to try function with the ongoing noise. Very selfish.(Germiston, 2018-09-30)

The noise is so loud this past week end and i stay in Castleview. And its only at night. Why can they not have this during the day. Like years ago when 702 talk radio was involved in the concert in the park at Elsepark staduim. In future council should consider Delville Stadium for such events.(Germiston, 2018-09-30)
#178
The Festival's they are allowing at Germisron Lake is a huge problem as there are residents right around the lake and it is affecting all of us aswell. Please keep the rest of us in mind when allowing this. It is indeed very unpleasant and got me considering selling my property due to this.(Johannesburg, 2018-09-30)

Protest against noise(Gauteng, 2018-09-30)
#195
The noise is becoming a non stop problem. The people attending and arranging these functions have absolutely no respect and no consideration towards others living in the area. It is currently 20:11 and I can still hear the noice all the way at my premises, which is quite a distance from Germiston Lake. I really feel sorry for people living closer to Germiston Lake, especially older citizens, people with illness and parents with babies and young children.(Germiston, 2018-09-30)

The noise levels are rediculous!!!!(Germiston, 2018-09-30)
