Noizend’s Post

Noise conditions for approval of Melbourne’s third runway. The recent approval of the construction of Melbourne’s third runway came with several conditions most of which related to noise. One major focus was on noise sharing which does not solve the problem. This is why our Noizend Shields being developed to reduce low-frequency noise entering homes is so important. Here are the conditions imposed by the Hon. Catherine King MP:- “Throughout my consideration of this proposal, the needs of the local community have been front of mind. That is why I have imposed certain conditions on Melbourne Airport in order for the third runway to proceed. These represent the most comprehensive set of conditions for a project of this type, including: Melbourne Airport providing a legally-enforceable commitment to restore the length of the east-west runway to maximise the opportunities for noise sharing; Design and implementation of a noise sharing and airspace plan that prioritises sharing of aircraft noise between affected areas; Implementation of a noise amelioration program to communities most impacted; And conducting a community health study into the impacts of noise before and after the establishment of the third runway – recording baseline data in the lead up to and for the first 20 years of the operation of the third runway. My decision to require that the airport maintain sufficient capacity on the existing east-west runway is to support effective noise sharing at Melbourne Airport, so that no one community bears the brunt of the airport’s growth. The noise sharing plan will be developed by the airport, and in consultation with local communities, over the years to come.”
