Abstract Noise impacts from the operational rail network in NSW have been regulated since 1970. Regulation has evolved over that time in response to growth and partial privatisation of the rail industry, progressive understanding of the sources and causes of, and mechanisms to address, rail noise and increased community expectations regarding health and amenity impacts. This paper considers the range of regulatory and other approaches that have been applied to rail noise in NSW to date, reflects on the successes and learnings of those approaches and presents the current proposal for progressing towards achieving a level of rail noise that is acceptable by the community.
