Get your seized equipment back
We return equipment only if we are satisfied it will not be used to create further noise problems.
How to get your seized equipment back
To request your property back, you need to:
Bring to your interview:
- proof of identity, such as a driver’s licence or passport
- the original copy of the seizure notice (so we return the property to the rightful owner).
If we refuse to return your property, you can appeal to the Environment Court.
