Noise Action Plan Update

Brisbane Airport Community Airspace Advisory Board

The Australian Government announced the establishment of the Brisbane Airport Community Airspace Advisory Board on 9 March 2023.

The Brisbane Airport Community Airspace Advisory Board is an ongoing, independent community-based consultation body that provides an opportunity to share information and advice to and from the community to better manage consultation on aircraft noise around Brisbane Airport.

The Brisbane Airport Community Airspace Advisory Board will oversee the implementation of changes identified in the Airservices Australia Post Implementation Review, and in the long-term facilitates community input and feedback on proposed changes to flight paths and airspace changes associated with Brisbane Airport’ Noise Action Plan.

More information on the Brisbane Airport Community Airspace Advisory Board can be found here.

Noise Improvement Trial Update

On 24 February 2022, noise improvement trials commenced for the following operations:

• Extended Simultaneous Opposite Direction Parallel Runway Operations (SODPROPS)
• Restriction on intersection departures from the New Parallel Runway.

We have been taking your feedback since the commencement of the noise improvement trials and we will now commence an evaluation to determine if they should become a permanent operation, be modified, or if they should cease.

We will be seeking further feedback from the community as we commence engagement on the first Noise Action Plan for Brisbane design options in March/April 2023.

We will continue to operate the noise improvement trials until completion of the evaluation.
