Airservices maintains and operates a Noise and Flight Path Monitoring System (NFPMS) at Gold Coast Airport. This system provides information and data on aircraft movements, aircraft noise and aircraft operations. This includes data from aircraft noise monitors which is displayed for Gold Coast Airport on WebTrak.
We currently have two long-term noise monitors installed at the Gold Coast – located in Tugun and Banora Point.
As part of our commitment to the Gold Coast Airport Community Aviation Consultation Group (formally ANACC) we are conducting a review into long-term noise monitors for Gold Coast Airport, which will include identification of potential sites for the installation of a third long-term noise monitor.
What is the purpose of the review?
The purpose of the Noise Monitoring Review is to:
validate the operation of the two existing long-term noise monitors (Tugun and Banora Point)
consider and assess community suggested locations for a third long-term noise monitor in the Tweed Heads region or another suitable location in the broader Gold Coast region
provide findings to the Gold Coast Airport and ANACC in relation to the provision of future noise monitoring for the Gold Coast Airport.

Short-Term Noise Monitor
While initially not part of the scope, the team has included the placement of a temporary noise monitor in Miami to capture data on ILS movements north of the airport.
This noise monitor is now in place and is available on WebTrak.
Long Term Noise Monitor
Three locations have been identified as suitable for installation of a long-term noise monitor at the Gold Coast:
Palms Village
Gray Street Depot
Pyramid Holiday Park
Further site visits are required to select a final location.
