Implementation of the final design on 30 November 2023

We are pleased to advise that the final design of the Williamtown (Newcastle Airport) Airspace and Civil Flight Path Review will be implemented on 30 November 2023.

The Final Outcome Report (available here) outlines the flight path and airspace design development journey, from preliminary design engagement through to the final design, including how community inputs assisted in shaping the final design.

A Post Implementation Review (PIR) will be completed 12 to 18 months after the date of implementation to compare actual operations data with forecasts modelled during final flight path design. The PIR will seek to identify if operations are consistent with the forecasts identified throughout design development, along with any feasible improvement opportunities. Subscribing to this page will ensure you receive email updates about this process as it progresses.
