Business Case for the SunShine CoaSt airport Master Plan

New Runway Project Strategy
14. Associated Programs
There are a number of Programs underway that have the potential to influence the
outcomes of the New Runway Project and should be considered during the planning and
ongoing review process.
14.1. References
References are located within the discussion of each associated Program.
14.2. Civil Aviation Safety Authority
The Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) regulates the safe operation of airports via Civil
Aviation Safety Regulation and the Manual of Standards 139. The design and operation of
the airport is required to accord with these two documents and associated guidance
material as amended from time to time.
Other Regulations associated with airport operations involve airspace design and planning,
Aviation Rescue Fire Fighting Services, Air Traffic Control services etc.
The regulatory environment established by CASA is relatively stable and unlikely to impose
significant changes to the New Runway Project.

14.3. Office of Transport Security
The Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local
Government via the Office of Transport Security regulates transport security at the airport.
The regulatory regime associated with transport security is more likely to change at short
notice, as evidenced by the recent imposition of a requirement to implement explosive
trace detection and checked bag screening at the airport. These requirements have
associated impacts on terminal and other infrastructure design requirements and will need
to be closely monitored during the design phase of the project.

14.4. SEQLD Infrastructure Program and Plan (SEQIPP)
The Queensland State Government has a program of major infrastructure works, involving
road, rail, maritime and air transport, water and other major elements of infrastructure
development and construction in South East Queensland. As the Program involves
infrastructure that will potentially benefit the efficient operation of the airport as a transport
hub, it will be important to be engaged as a stakeholder in the outcomes of the SEQIPP.
