A day hospital in Osborne Park, built at a reported cost of $16 million and specialising in spinal injection treatments for pain management, is taking a neighbouring gym to court. The hospital alleges that it is being affected by noise coming from the gym above or next to it, including throbbing or loud music and the sound of heavy weights being dropped during workouts. The hospital says the noise is disrupting its operations and impacting its business.
The dispute centres on whether the gym’s activities are creating unacceptable disturbance for the hospital’s patients and staff. The gym’s response or arguments are not detailed in the provided summaries, but the case indicates an ongoing legal effort to resolve competing claims about noise levels and potential impacts.
The matter is reported in multiple Australian outlets, which describe the same core allegations: that music and weight impact sounds from the gym are carrying into the day hospital’s premises and causing practical problems for a medical facility that relies on quiet conditions for patient care.
