An Aussie suburb sits directly under a flight path... but locals are complaining a Portuguese club is too noisy for them

A popular community club is disappointed after neighbours complained about the noise coming from the long established venue.

The Sydney Portugal Community Club, which is located in an industrial part of the inner west Sydney suburb of Marrickville, has been hosting functions since the early 1990s.

It also under a flight path and beside a heavy freight rail line - but some NIMBY (not in my backyard) locals are not upset about the planes, trains and trucks - they just want to moan about the club. 

Last week, an unknown person put flyers in letterboxes urging locals to file complaints against the club.

If you found the noise from the Sydney Portugal Community Club on Friday night (4pm-9.15pm) and Sunday (10am-9.30pm) to be excessive, please take a minute to lodge a noise complaint with NSW Liquor and Gaming, it read.

With numerous upcoming 12-hour outdoor music events already booked in, getting the club to comply with their noise restrictions now will hopefully result in much less noise disturbance in the future.

Club secretary Jorge Martins said the complaints were disappointing.

Weve been doing our best to minimise any disturbances that may occur, he told the Daily Telegraph.

These big events, we rely on them to get our cash-flow up. If we arent able to do those it would put us under a fair bit of pressure.

Mr Martins said most of the clubs events, which can cater for up to 1,000 people, finish before 10pm.

NSW music and night-time economy minister John Graham was not impressed with the complaints made against the Sydney Portugal Community Club. 

What can be heard loud and clear here is a campaign by someone to enlist their neighbours to submit complaints against an event that was held mainly during daylight hours, he told Daily Mail Australia. 

Legitimate noise complaints will be dealt with fairly, but a letterbox drop campaign to stir up a complaint does not appear to be a genuine start.

NSW Liquor and Gaming confirmed it had received some complaints from members of the public concerning noise about the club.

But one local man said the campaign against the club was ridiculous.

You could hear the music last weekend, but it wasnt intrusive. It finished at a very reasonable time, Andy said.

In Marrickville we have trucks coming by because its an industrial area. The planes that fly over are louder and the freight train line is much louder.

He added that noise complaints like this kill venues.

The nearest houses to the club are about 100 metres away.
