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.

A ‘Gold Coast Airport Noise Monitoring Program’ was proposed to the Gold Coast Airport Community Aviation Consultation Group (CACG) as an ongoing community-driven program that provides better outcomes through improved data capture.
Temporary Noise Monitoring Programs provide a range of benefits that cannot be achieved with permanent noise monitors:
ability to test/re-test a variety of locations (wider data capture)
ability to test locations at different periods in time (to capture seasonal change)
completion reports with detailed results
greater evidence base to improve noise modelling for future airspace and flight path changes.
It is proposed that the noise monitoring locations will be chosen by the CACG and added to a list for Airservices to work through. The standard deployment period will be 3 months (this can be varied by the CACG). Airservices (via contractor) will place a temporary noise monitor as close as possible to the CACG-chosen location (the final location is dependent site availability and approval from landowners).
This survey will remain open for a 3 week public comment period between 9th – 30th May 2024.
