Phase 2 options assessment

Airservices Australia actively engaged communities across Greater Brisbane in August and September 2023 to seek input on options developed for Phase 2 of the Noise Action Plan for Brisbane. These proposals focused on noise-sharing options for overland departures to the north, expanding the use of Simultaneous Opposite Direction Parallel Runway Operations and additional segregated modes.

You can review the options assessment and summary documents as follows.

Phase 2 Options Assessment Report: Full assessment report.

Options that proceed to the preferred stage will be subject to detailed design, safety and environmental assessment. There will be a subsequent round of community and industry engagement based on this more detailed level of assessment where changes to flight paths are required.

Options that do not require a flight path change and that are assessed as providing a noise improvement, can be implemented following completion of safety work.

You can provide feedback on the Phase 2 Options Assessment Report here. Feedback on the report is open for a four-week period and will close on Sunday 16 June 2024.

While we acknowledge that not all community members will necessarily agree with the assessment outcomes, we are specifically seeking feedback on the clarity of the report and the rationale provided for the outcomes reached. Community feedback serves as a cornerstone in our commitment to continuous improvement, including the improvement of our reporting practices.
