Aircraft noise from essential services03
Exempt from curfewsEmergency and aeromedical flights operate at any hour and are exempt from curfews so that patients and emergency crews can be moved when it matters. Noise from essential general aviation, including flight training, is inevitable at both airports.
Noise enquiriesWe work with our customers and the community to manage and mitigate the impacts of aircraft noise. Airservices Australia manages complaints and enquiries on 1800 802 584.

Part of the community, around the clock.
