Partygoers were permitted to
make as plentiful noise as they liked between 6pm and 2am, after the council in
Auckland assured not to attend any noise complaints all through those hours.
"New Year's Eve is permanently a great time for celebration in Auckland and from a noise controller perspective we don't tend to see noteworthy increases in complaints over the course of the night mostly because there seems to be higher levels of broad-mindedness to noise as many people choose to stay up later to enjoy the midnight entertainment. As of this, we do relax our policy slightly on New Year's Eve and only attend complaints after 2am which is often the time when most festivities have come to an end," Max Wilde, the council's team manager for Licencing Response said the New Zealand Herald.
