Brisbane Airport's Flight Path Tool shows the jet arrival and departure flight paths from Brisbane Airport. It allows a user to search any address in Brisbane in relation to these flight paths, to understand specific information for the selected address.
The tool also shows noise mapping for jet and non-jet arrivals and departures, highlighting areas that will experience aircraft noise of 70 decibels or more.
Government regulations
In December 2010 the Federal Government made amendments to the Airports Act 1996 which strengthen the requirements for airport master plans. The Government released these guidelines to assist airports in meeting the new requirements.
