Annual Noise Complaint Report
Noise
Sunshine Coast Airport is conscious of potential noise impacts on the community, particularly for residents immediately surrounding the airport or underneath flight paths. Whilst it is recognised by all parties that the airport was in place prior to most residents moving into the area, Sunshine Coast Airport attempts to address the community concerns and have implemented a Fly Neighbourly Policy on the airport which the majority of aircraft operating companies have voluntarily signed.
It is important to note that the Sunshine Coast Airport operates 24 hours a day, however aircraft over 5700kg (most jet passenger aircraft) are restricted between 10pm and 7am. There are occasional concessions made to the curfew due to safety considerations or unusual operating conditions.
Sunshine Coast Airport encourages any concerns regarding noise at the airport to be raised with Airservices Australia Noise Enquiry Service directly.
