THERE'S some significant noise rolling in from the valley in the Tregony area, with more complaints over dance parties.

Southern Downs Regional Council confirmed it received a complaint last week about a possible rave at one of the properties just off the New England Highway at the weekend.

It comes just a month after Bestbrook Mountain Resort was subject to a court order banning organisers of music festival Manifest from playing 24-hour music over three days.

It was not Bestbrook, but a property in the surrounding area that was reported to be hosting the weekend's event, though it is unclear whether the rave went ahead.

A council spokeswoman said council had investigated last week but there had been no applications for permission for the event or further complaints over the weekend.

According to Bestbrook's Dennis Brown, the resort submitted a development application to council in March and was under the impression, after discussions with officers; it would be allowed to operate festivals at the site.

He said organisers had never made a secret of the fact the event was taking place.

"We believed it was within the parameters of what we'd been doing and when we found out it wasn't, we immediately phoned council, who advised us to put an application in for a temporary change of use," Mr Brown said.

"We tried to jump all the hurdles but the hours were cut back."

While police and council said there were no reasonable complaints from the Manifest event, a nearby landholder called the Daily News to gripe about the disruption caused.

Mr Brown said he believed rules had to be in place but they needed to be obeyed by everyone.

He said others in the area had organised similar events but had not followed the planning process.

Links to the planned weekend event were no longer functioning over the weekend.

The Daily News contacted owners of a nearby property understood to be the proposed location but the owners said they had no knowledge of the event.
