Environmental Strategy
BAL is committed to implementing and maintaining environmental management initiatives that promote
sound environmental management policies and practices in all airport activities. These initiatives
are clearly demonstrated in the BAL Environment Strategy that was approved by the Commonwealth Minister
for Transport and Regional Services in March 2000.
The Environment Strategy has a 5 year timeframe and outlines management plans for specific ground-based
environmental issues. The associated actions are designed to improve the overall environmental
management of activities on Bankstown Airport. Objectives, targets and management actions have
been developed for a broad range of environmental issues.
A copy of the BAL
Environment Strategy is available in pdf format. Copies of the Minor Variation Approvals and Requests are also available in pdf format.
BAL has made good progress implementing our environmental objectives and management actions since
the approval of the Strategy. Our performance in implementing the Strategy is continuously monitored
by our regulator, the Commonwealth Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government.
Noise Issues
Airservices Australia is responsible for managing and controlling aircrafts when taxiing,
taking off, in flight and landing. Noise issues related to these activities at Bankstown Airport
should be reported to Airservices Australia on its 24-hour number 1300-302-240. Issues
and complaints are monitored on a monthly basis to determine whether there are any particular
trends or issues evident or whether any aircraft has operated outside its assigned tracks or altitude. If so, appropriate investigations are initiated and corrective action taken where applicable.
Groundbased noise management is detailed in the
BAL Aircraft Engine Ground Running Guidelines which can be downloaded in pdf format.
