Airservices Australia calls for community feedback on new Brisbane flightpath options to reduce aircraft noise

Airservices Australia is today launching five new sets of flightpath options developed by specialist airspace design consultants Trax International which may change where aircraft operate over Brisbane.

The proposed flightpath concepts, which form part of Airservices’ Noise Action Plan for Brisbane, have been designed to reduce the concentration of flights over several Brisbane communities.

The Plan was developed to address aircraft noise impacts resulting from changes to Brisbane’s airspace, following the introduction of Brisbane Airport’s new parallel runway in July 2020.

Now, Airservices is calling for Brisbane residents to provide feedback on the flightpath options at our latest round of 11 community engagement sessions (including online options) listed here, to be held from Wednesday, 28th August until Tuesday, 10th September.

The options address arrivals and departures to the north and departures to the south and east. In addition, the new sets of flightpath options address changes required to facilitate independent parallel runway operations, which involves aircraft arriving and departing on the two runways at the same time.

Residents are encouraged to book in to a session as soon as possible, with community submissions open until Sunday, 15th September.

“We want all communities across Brisbane to be involved in the discussion on these new sets of flightpath options,” said Airservices Australia Head of Community Engagement Donna Marshall.

“Airservices is offering one-on-one consultations with our flightpath specialists at engagement sessions to boost the community’s understanding of what’s being proposed.

“We are dedicated to closely working with the community. We are listening to and proactively consulting with noise-impacted residents.

“We also want to ensure this is a transparent process, which demonstrates our commitment to improving noise outcomes for the Brisbane community, where safe and operationally feasible.”
