Airservices Australia releases latest Noise Action Plan for Brisbane outcomes

Imported from official source

Announcement

Today, Airservices Australia has released the final outcomes for Package 3 of the Noise Action Plan for Brisbane. It details a series of flightpath and operational changes developed following extensive consultation with community and industry throughout July and August 2025.

Four major Brisbane flightpath changes will progress to implementation:

  • Arrival flightpaths to the northern end of the new runway (over water) will be shifted further north to reduce the population overflown by approximately 59,000 residents, including in the southern part of Bribie Island.
  • New short-approach connections (where aircraft turn to line up with the runway when closer to the airport) to the northern end of the new runway have also been created for non-jet aircraft, to provide greater opportunity to share noise between long and short-approach flightpaths, and to reduce the impact of visual arrivals over Redcliffe.
  • Arrivals flightpaths to the southern end of both runways will be changed to address new aviation rules which enable Independent Parallel Runway Operations (IPRO) – where planes can arrive side-by-side to both runways at the same time – and to reduce the total population overflown by approximately 35,000. While IPRO is not expected to be regularly used until late 2027, the new flightpaths will commence operation on 9 July 2026 to achieve noise improvement benefits quickly.
  • Departure flightpaths from the legacy runway to the south-east will be shifted further east to reduce the population overflown by approximately 44,500 residents. Minor adjustments will be considered in the final design to address concerns raised by Southern Moreton Bay Island communities during engagement.
  • Safety work is being progressed on the proposed night-time, over-airport departure from the new runway ahead of confirming if this can proceed to trial. This safety work is focused on ensuring aircraft can safely cross in front of the legacy runway to turn out across the bay.
