developed. Sunshine Coast Airport has used <strong>the</strong> Transparent Noise In<strong>for</strong>mation package (TNIP) developed<br />

by <strong>the</strong> Department of Transport and Regional Services. An output of <strong>the</strong> TNIP is <strong>the</strong> Flight Path Movement<br />

Chart shown at Figure 10-4 below. This chart shows <strong>the</strong> predicted aircraft flight paths <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> year 2020<br />

utilising both <strong>the</strong> existing runway 18/36 and a new runway 13/31.<br />

The chart is intended to enable people to 'visualise' what aircraft noise will be like. Armed with this<br />

in<strong>for</strong>mation <strong>the</strong>y are in a much better position to make a decision whe<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong>y are likely to find future noise<br />

'acceptable'. For example a noise sensitive person will be greatly advantaged when making decisions if <strong>the</strong>y<br />

have access to this type of in<strong>for</strong>mation ra<strong>the</strong>r than simply knowing that <strong>the</strong> area is exposed to a particular<br />
