Gold Coast Temporary Noise Monitors - ILS Post Implementation Review

Consultation has concluded

In February 2019, Airservices implemented the Instrument Landing System (ILS) at the Gold Coast.

Advice received from the then Minister for Transport and the Department of Environment in 2015 recommended that Airservices undertake a Post Implementation Review (PIR) of the Environmental Assessment of the Gold Coast Airport ILS, within 12-18 months of implementation.

This advice stated that noise monitoring of 3 months would be adequate to collect sufficient data to support the PIR, including verifying predicted noise levels, identifying non-compliances and informing corrective actions.

We have commenced the PIR using the information gathered during the short term noise monitoring (between October 2019 and February 2020). We undertook consultation to implement a temporary noise monitor in the Miami area (underneath the ILS flight path) to support the PIR. Additionally, we proposed a second temporary noise monitor to provide information from the ILS vectoring corridor (early approach area) further north, where aircraft are operating in the early stages of the ILS approach.

The second temporary noise monitor was used to provide additional information to the community on ILS operations in the early approach area.
