AIR TRAFFIC NOISE UP
Air traffic noise up
The “Bennelong Funnel” is back in action, says Lane Cove MP Anthony Roberts, and those concerned with air traffic noise should contact the Sydney Airport Community Forum.
“I was recently contacted by a constituent living in Lane Cove, who counted 15 planes between 6am and 6.30am and a total of 100 planes between 6am and 9am,” Mr Roberts said.
“For several years the Sydney Airport Community Forum (SACF), which was established in July 1996 as part of its commitment to addressing the noise impacts from Sydney Airport in consultation with affected residents was bipartisan.
“Following the change in Federal Government in November 2007, the Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government, the Hon Anthony Albanese reconstituted the membership of the Sydney Airport Community Forum and removed those of us representing the northen suburbs.
“Now with the runway safety project completed and the east-west runway returned to normal operations, it appears Lane Cove and the northern suburbs will experience more air traffic movements.
“I will keep making representations to the Federal Government on behalf of the constituents of the Lane Cove electorate.”
He urged concerned residents to contact the SACF Noise Enquiry Unit on free call 1800 802 584, or email community.relations@airservicesaustralia.co
