Aircraft Noise Disclosure - Avoiding 'Surprise Noise'
'Aircraft noise disclosure' is a term usually associated with giving advice on aircraft noise exposure levels to prospective house buyers. However it goes much further than this.
 |
The aim of aircraft noise disclosure is to help noise sensitive persons avoid finding themselves in a situation where they are unknowingly exposed to aircraft noise. That is, the aim is to help them to avoid 'surprise noise'. Experience has shown that 'surprise noise' is likely to be particularly annoying since it is usually associated with people believing that they have either been given misleading information or have had important information withheld from them. |

PublicationsDiscussion Paper - Going Beyond Noise Contours, Local Approaches to Land Use Planning around Smaller Australian Airports
The paper is designed to stimulate discussion on ways in which current approaches to land use planning around smaller Australian airports can be enhanced. The paper describes weaknesses that have been identified with current approaches and puts forward a number of alternative ideas that have the potential to be of benefit. Comments on the concepts contained in the document will be welcomed. These may be e-mailed to Dave Southgate, Director Aviation Environment Policy, at Discussion Paper on Expanding Ways to Describe and Assess Aircraft Noise

This discussion paper was released for public comment in October 2003.
A number of new ways to describe aircraft noise have been developed in recent years in response to public requests for more comprehensible aircraft noise information. These are described in a Discussion Paper released by the Department entitled 'Expanding ways to describe and assess aircraft noise'.
The Department and Environment Australia have jointly released a document entitled 'Guidance Material for Selecting and Providing Aircraft Noise Information' which is designed to provide guidance to airports and other bodies producing and disseminating aircraft noise information.For information regarding Contacts, please click here.
