The Air Noise Ombudsman has today provided below (in quotation marks) on their review into Air Service’s Australia management of consultation and information provision in relation to its flight path designs for Sunshine Coast Airport.

In my last update to you I listed the emerging issues and questions in my investigation. As with all investigations, answers provided to questions asked give rise to further questions for clarification and explanation. I continue to pursue my investigation.

I can now advise that, subject to the provision of further information needed for our investigation and subject to any unforeseen issues or areas of inquiry emerging, we aim to provide our investigation report to the Board of Airservices early next year.

I appreciate that, while my investigation continues, your concerns remain. Thank you for your patience in this matter. We will continue to keep you updated.

Kind regards,

Narelle Bell
Aircraft Noise Ombudsman
