Engagement dates and venues August-September 2024

We are pleased to announce the details of the next phase of engagement for the Noise Action Plan for Brisbane. This phase will focus on multiple concepts that have been developed by specialist flight path and airspace design consultancy, Trax International. They have developed five sets of change proposals for different aircraft operations across Greater Brisbane, each containing multiple concepts for flight path changes. These concepts consider both departure and arrival flight paths to provide a full appreciation of the potential operations over different communities.

Given the complexity and level of detail in these change concepts, the upcoming engagement sessions will differ from our previous drop-in sessions.

During this phase, community members can book an appointment online and then join us in person for a meeting with the flight path designers to discuss the options of most interest. Through these appointments you can gain insights into the proposals, ask specific questions, and further understand what the flight path concepts might mean for your local area.

These pre-booked meetings will be held at central and easily accessible locations and will enable our engagement team to record your detailed feedback on each of the concepts, to further inform Trax International's work in refining these to preferred flight path designs later this year.

This change in format is important for this phase of engagement, as drop-in sessions do not allow for this level of detail to be provided nor for specific feedback to be captured on the various options, which will inform decisions on what should be progressed.

There will also be two types of online sessions available for community members who are unable to attend in person or would like additional information. Five online sessions will present the options, collect feedback and answer questions, and towards the end of the engagement period there will be two online sessions to just answer questions.

Detailed information on proposals including maps, videos and information sheets will be released next week.

Registration for all sessions is via Humanitix. This is a ticketing platform which will enable you to save reminders or change session dates if you wish and does not require registration to Engage Airservices.

In-person meetings

A list of appointment times is available for each date, and can be booked for individuals, couples or small family groups. Registration for these sessions is required. If you are unable to register through our online booking platform, you can email us at communityengagement@airservicesaustralia.com.

Appointments are for 20 minutes. If your preferred date is booked out, please register for the waitlist for that day, and we’ll let you know if a time becomes available (eg through a cancellation). Please go to Humanitix to select a date, location and timeslot.

Online presentations

We are hosting five online sessions to provide details of these proposals and address general questions. You might like to consider attending one of these sessions for additional information, even if you are able to join us in person. Log-in details for online sessions will be sent to registered participants within approximately 24 hours of each session. You can register via Humanitix.

Online Q&A sessions

You may have more questions before you submit your feedback, so we’re offering two online Question & Answer sessions before engagement closes. There will be no formal presentation, just time for Q&A. Log-in details for these sessions will be sent to registered participants approximately a week ahead of each session, with an invitation to submit questions in advance. You can register via Humanitix.
