How the proposed flight path changes will affect your suburb

Airservices Australia has released a proposal for changes to flight paths to and from Brisbane Airport to reduce the impacts of aircraft noise on Brisbane's suburbs. The flight path options, which are open for community feedback until August 17, include distributing flights more evenly over a wider area and reducing the concentration of flights over suburbs already being flooded with both arrival and departure, and day and night flights. The Noise Action Plan for Brisbane was developed to address complaints following the introduction of Brisbane Airport's parallel runway in July 2020. But the Brisbane Flight Path Community Alliance has criticised the latest proposal, warning it would result in more communities being exposed to aircraft noise, many for the first time. Alliance spokesperson Marcus Foth said the proposal did not offer a real solution, with 'no night-time curfew, no flight cap, and no credible plan for genuine net noise reductions'. Here is what the proposed flight path changes would mean for your area: North and west With both arrivals and departures tracking over similar areas, there are many communities to the north-west of the Brisbane Airport that do not experience periods of respite, even when wind conditions change.
