In 2010 Roads and Maritime Services (formerly Roads and Traffic Authority) engaged an acoustic specialist to undertake a noise assessment in response to community concerns about road traffic noise from the Kiama Bypass.

Roads and Maritime Services (formerly Roads and Traffic Authority) has finalised this noise assessment between Hothersal Street and David Smith Place, Kiama.
The report is available for your information. This assessment will enable appropriate noise reduction measures to be selected in line with Roads and Maritime Services (formerly Roads and Traffic Authority)'s Noise Abatement Program.

Roads and Maritime Services (formerly Roads and Traffic Authority) prioritises noise reduction projects on a state-wide basis. Sites are considered for treatment on the basis of the prevailing noise exposure, length of occupancy, practical installation, visual impacts and cost effectiveness.
