Sydney Airport’s assessment of environmental issues associated with implementing this Master Plan over the planning period, its plans for dealing with these issues (including plans for ameliorating or preventing environmental impacts) and the additional requirements concerning aircraft noise are discussed in this Chapter and, as outlined above, in the Airport Environment Strategy. The environmental issues summarised in this section are categorised as follows: • noise (from aircraft operations and groundbased activities); • sustainability and climate change; • air quality; • surface water quality; • soil and groundwater quality (contaminated sites); • flora and fauna; • heritage; and • resource use (water, energy, raw materials and waste management). 14.2.1 Noise Aircraft noise and mitigation strategies Environmental noise (also called community noise) includes noise generated by road, rail and air Table 14.1 Aircraft noise: roles and responsibilities 132 traffic, as well as that generated by industries, construction activity and, more generally, across neighbourhoods. The main sources of environmental noise are related to transportation, particularly road traffic (estimated to contribute around 73 percent of noise) followed by aircraft (estimated to contribute around 17 percent of noise) 1 . Aircraft noise and its effects on human health and well being have been extensively studied in Australia and around the world. Relationships between exposure to excessive aircraft noise and annoyance, sleep disturbance, hearing impairment, reduced productivity, children’s learning and other health impacts have been documented 2 . Sydney Airport acknowledges these aircraft noise related impacts. It is committed to working with others in the aviation industry to mitigate impacts, especially in areas in the vicinity of the airport or under flight paths. As explained in Table 14.1, managing aircraft noise related matters is the joint concern of the International Civil Aviation Organisation, governments, airports, airlines, aircraft manufacturers and regulators. While each has a differing responsibility, collectively, they play a crucial role in effectively managing and minimising the impacts of aircraft noise. Organisation Summary of responsibilities concerning aircraft noise mitigation International Civil Aviation Organisation and the Australian Government Australian Government (Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government) Australian Government (Airservices Australia) • The International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), a United Nations Specialised Agency, is the global forum for civil aviation. ICAO works to achieve its vision of safe, secure and sustainable development of civil aviation through cooperation amongst its member States, of which Australia is one. • Much of ICAO’s effort to address aircraft noise over the past 30 years has been aimed at reducing noise at source. Aeroplanes and helicopters built today are required to meet the strict noise certification standards adopted by the Council of ICAO. These are contained in Annex 16 — Environmental Protection, Volume I — Aircraft Noise to the Convention on International Civil Aviation. • Advises the Australian Government on the policy and regulatory framework for airports and the aviation industry and administers the Airports Act 1996. • Enforces Sydney Airport’s aircraft movement cap and jet curfew and the granting of curfew dispensations. • Administers the aircraft noise insulation program. • Provides support for the Sydney Airport Community Forum (SACF), the main consultative body for the Sydney Airport Long Term Operating Plan. SACF includes representatives from the community, local councils, the aviation industry (including Sydney Airport), and State and Federal Parliaments. • Provides air-traffic control management and related airside services to the aviation industry. • Determines aircraft flight paths into and out of Sydney Airport.
14.0 Sustainability, Climate Change and Environmental Management Sydney Airport Master Plan 2009 Table 14.1 Aircraft noise: roles and responsibilities (continued) Organisation Summary of responsibilities concerning aircraft noise mitigation • Implements noise sharing through the Sydney Airport Long Term Operating Plan. • Regularly publishes data and information on actual aircraft movements, runway and track usage and noise impacts using a range of alternative noise descriptors. • Handles aircraft noise inquiries and complaints. • Operates noise monitoring equipment in suburbs around Sydney Airport and regularly publishes results. • Reviews and endorses for technical accuracy the Australian Noise Exposure Forecasts developed by Sydney Airport. Sydney Airport Corporation Limited • As the airport-lessee company for Sydney Airport, (land is owned by the Australian Government) SACL manages operations at Sydney Airport as a whole, and ensures the effective delivery and coordination of airport-related services and facilities. Airlines NSW Government and Local Government Authorities • Provides and maintains all necessary on-airport infrastructure – such as runways, taxiways, aprons, and aircraft parking stands – and ensures Sydney Airport complies with all necessary aviation safety standards. SACL also operates Terminal 1 (international) and Terminal 2 (domestic). SACL therefore ensures the continued availability of on-airport infrastructure to facilitate aircraft noise sharing At Sydney Airport, this includes ensuring the long-term availability of the east-west runway for noise-sharing purposes and support for the introduction of the new generation quieter aircraft such as the A380, B787 and A350XWB. • Publishes as part of its Master Plan, an Australian Noise Exposure Forecast, other noise descriptors, and plans to manage aircraft noise impacts. • Ensures guidelines are in place to control noise generated by engine ground running. • A member of the Sydney Airport Community Forum. • Sydney Airport services 43 international, domestic and regional airlines. All have modern aircraft fleets that meet the required ICAO and Australian Government noise-related standards and regulations. • Many airlines using Sydney Airport have placed orders for the new generation of quieter, cleaner and more fuel efficient aircraft such as the A380, B787 and A350XWB. These are expected to be operating at Sydney Airport within the planning period. For example, the Qantas Group anticipates operating 20 A380s and up to 115 B787s in its fleet. • In recent years, newer aircraft are being acquired such as the B737- 800 (operated by Qantas and Virgin Blue) and the A320 (operated by Jetstar) which are much quieter than the older noisier aircraft they are replacing. • The NSW Government and Local Government Authorities regulate land use planning and development in the vicinity of Sydney Airport. • The NSW Government has issued a ministerial direction to local councils under section 117(2) of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 to guide land use planning and development decisions near airports, including Sydney Airport. The direction aims, in part, to ensure that development for residential purposes or human occupation, if situated on land within the Australian Noise Exposure Forecast (ANEF) contours of between 20 and 25, incorporates appropriate building features so that the development is not adversely affected by aircraft noise. 1 NSW State of the Environment Report (1993) 2 For example, see enHealth Council 2004, The Health Effects of Environmental Noise – Other Than Hearing Loss, Australian Environmental Health Council, Canberra. 133
