"I don't know who they are. I'm an Aussie. I've only been here six years," he said.
"I couldn't believe they were spilling out home phone numbers for mayors and all that. Where's the Privacy Act?"
He phoned Mr Yule's number about 10.40pm but the mayor did not pick up.
Councillor Wayne Bradshaw said yesterday he missed a call from Mr McCann about 10.30pm, which he returned about half an hour later.
"He held the phone up outside and it was pretty damn noisy."
Mr Bradshaw said he sympathised with Mr McCann and wondered what the "compelling reason" was for the council to allow work so late at night.
The council's transportation manager, Jag Pannu, said in order to minimise traffic disruption on a busy section of road it was decided that the surface replacement work outside Mr McCann's home would be undertaken in the evening.
"Council recognises that this type of work does cause disruption to the lifestyle of nearby residents and the decision to undertake roading contracts in the evening is not made lightly. However in this case, the impact on traffic flow of having the work done during the day could not be ignored."
Community safety manager Phil Evans said the decision of the environmental health officer who responded to Mr McCann's noise complaint not to close down the worksite was based on rules that prohibit noise control from taking any action on a vehicle in motion.
"The complaint centred around the noise being created by construction and compaction vehicles working on a road reserve and this was outside the officer's enforcement authority."
A council spokesman said an operator working in the council's after-hours call centre should not have given out politicians' mobile numbers.
"Managers of the call centre have been made aware that this procedure is incorrect when they are dealing with operational matters."
Mr Yule said he missed Mr McCann's call because his phone was on silent. The council had an "open and available" policy and his mobile number was on its website but in a situation like Mr McCann's there was little he could do late at night.
