Hobart Community and Industry Suggested Alternatives

In April 2022, Airservices completed the Post Implementation Review (PIR) for the Hobart flight path changes that were implemented in November 2019. Airservices conducts PIRs into airspace and flight path changes to verify assumptions about potential environmental and community impacts and to determine the effectiveness of the environmental impact assessment and community engagement processes. The outcomes of PIRs inform future changes and improve the overall change management process.

The scope of the Hobart PIR was developed in consultation with the community and considered the supporting environmental assessments for the flight path changes, community information regarding aircraft operations and forecast noise, and flight path suggested alternatives from the community and industry.

The PIR identified an array of alternatives suggested by the community and industry, some of which were found to be viable for further investigation and detailed assessment. We have commenced detailed evaluation of these alternatives and have divided them into two packages of work.

Package 1 involves recommended action 5.

Package 2 includes recommended actions 4 and 6 -10.

A list of the recommended actions from the PIR is available here Hobart PIR Recommended Actions

Noise Abatement Procedure trial - release of community survey

Airservices is inviting feedback from the public on the terms of a Noise Abatement Procedure (NAP) trial relating to arriving aircraft to Runway 30 at Hobart Airport.
The options take account of the community request to share noise during noise sensitive times of the day, safety, and operational requirements.
Detailed information about the Noise Abatement Procedure trial can be found here.

The results of the survey will be used to inform a trial of noise abatement procedures at Hobart Airport. Following the trial, we will seek feedback from the community on the effectiveness of the trial NAPs and prepare a draft report on the performance of the NAPs which will make a recommendation for either ongoing implementation or further refinement of the NAPs.
