Overview

The formal public exhibition period for the Preliminary Draft Master Plans (PDMP) and Preliminary Draft Airport Environment Strategies (PDAES) for Sydney Metro Airports Bankstown and Camden closed on 18 December 2009.

Since the PDAES ’s and PDAES’ were developed and released in September we have:

provided regular updates and key issues in our monthly e-Flyer
made the documents available at display locations and on our website
provided briefings to various stakeholders
worked with regulatory agencies, such as Airservices Australia towards the endorsement of the noise modelling. As a result of our work with Airservices Australia, we have revised our noise forecasts to reduce the impact on the community surrounding the Airports. The revised forecast diagrams are available to download at the bottom of this page
received over 260 submissions.

Thank you to those people including customers, elected representatives, stakeholders, government agencies and members of the community who have provided submissions.

Our next step was to consider all submissions received in relation to the PDMP’s and PDAES’ and prepare our draft documents. The draft documents and the submissions were lodged for consideration to the Federal Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government, in March 2010.

A summary of the issues contained in submissions during the public exhibition period and how they have been considered in the draft documents will be made available here on our website at the time of providing our draft documents to the Minister.

The PDMP is available to download from our website, as are a range of documents to support the Preliminary Draft Master Plans and Environment Strategies. They include:

Since the Preliminary Draft Plan was developed and released in September 2009, we have been able to revise our noise forecasts. The revised noise forecasts further reduce the impact on the surrounding community.
