Fitness Cartel, an Osborne Park gym, wins its WA Supreme Court case over alleged noise impacts reported by Perth Day Hospital. Perth Day Hospital brings the dispute to court after the gym opens, claiming excessive noise carries through the building—specifically music from the gym and the sound of heavy weights being dropped. The hospital argues the noise reverberates through the ceiling and affects the adjacent health facility.
Multiple outlets report that the court dismisses the hospital’s complaints. The gym’s owners describe the outcome as a relief, and at least one report says gym-goers can lift weights around the clock following the decision. Across coverage, the dispute is framed as a “bitter” disagreement focused on noise from gym operations occurring above or next to the hospital.
The reporting is consistent in stating that the matter is determined in favour of Fitness Cartel at the Supreme Court level, with the hospital’s noise allegations not accepted by the judge.
