Draft Community Engagement Standard released for national feedback

Airservices Australia is now engaging with community and industry on a new national Community Engagement Standard. This is an opportunity for communities and industry to influence how Airservices Australia will engage on all future flight path and airspace changes.

The feedback gathered will help us understand the ways in which communities and industry wish to be engaged on future changes to flight paths and airspace operations. The draft Community Engagement Standard is available for public comment from 3 May to 23 June 2023.

What happens next?

Once the consultation period is complete, we will produce a consultation outcomes report detailing the feedback received and our recommended next steps.

The Community Engagement Standard will be updated to incorporate community feedback received and is scheduled for publication later this year. Once finalised, the Community Engagement Standard will be published on this website.

The Community Engagement Standard will be used as a guiding document for community engagement by Airservices Australia on all flight path and airspace changes nationally.
