PLANNING RESPONSEExisting Runway SystemThe existing runway system at BrisbaneAirport consists of a 3,600 m longrunway, RWY 01R/19L, which allowsoperations by all types of large jetaircraft, including the Airbus A380.There is also the smaller cross runway,RWY 14/32, which can accommodateturbo-prop aircraft as well as limitedoperations by smaller jet aircraft.Upon completion of the NPR,RWY 01L/19R, in 2020 RWY 14/32 willbe decommissioned.Planning ApproachThe following principles guide BACin the planning of additional airfieldcapacity at Brisbane Airport:» All opportunities to extract additionalcapacity and efficiencies fromthe existing airfield system willbe exhausted while the NPR isbeing delivered» The NPR will be constructed to meetfuture demand» Taxiways will be located to ensureaircraft movement efficiency» Runways and taxiways will beconfigured to minimise aircraftnoise and environmental impactswherever practicable» Airfield infrastructure will complywith relevant national andinternational aviation standards.NPR Runway SystemThe NPR is being constructed westand parallel to the existing main runwayand is being built in stages due to theneed to stabilise the site before runwaypavement can be constructed.The five main construction elements ofthe NPR are as follows:» Enabling civil works – drainage,services relocation, modificationsto the cross runway (completed inmid 2013)» Site clearing and preparation(commenced in 2013)» Dredging and sand fill placement(commenced in October 2013 anddue for completion in June 2015)» Site settlement and monitoring(2015 – 2018)» Runway, taxiway and supportingfacilities construction (2018 – 2020).The current planned delivery programfor the NPR envisages operationscommencing in 2020.The NPR will require changes to flightpaths and to how aircraft are managedby Air Traffic Control.BAC’s Environmental ImpactStatement and Major DevelopmentPlan for the NPR approved in 2007identified in great detail the changesto existing departure and arrival routesand associated noise changes forsuburban Brisbane.For further information refer to BrisbaneAirport’s Current and Future Flight Pathand Noise Information booklet.View across the airport to the site of the New Parallel RunwayThe construction of the NPR will makeBrisbane the premier operational airportin Australia.With the parallel runway system inplace, it is anticipated that BrisbaneAirport will be able to sustain an hourlyrate of 100+ movements per hourover the morning and evening peakdemand periods.AIRSPACE PROTECTION(Section 7.3 of the Master Plan)Facilitating the safe and efficientmovement of aircraft to and fromBrisbane Airport is a fundamentaldevelopment objective.Adequate protection from infringementsto the airspace surrounding BrisbaneAirport is as important to the safeand efficient use of the airport asthe safe design and operation ofthe on-ground infrastructure suchas runways, taxiways, terminals andnavigational aids.18Brisbane Airport Corporation
Certain developments and structuresin the vicinity of Brisbane Airport, maylimit the scope of the airport’s existingand future operations.Airspace Protection –Regulatory EnvironmentVarious regulations, processes andguidelines address airspace protectionfor Brisbane Airport, including:» The Airports Act and Airports(Protection of Airspace) Regulations1996 (Regulations)» Queensland Government StatePlanning Policy» National Airports SafeguardingFramework» Obstacle Limitation Surfaces (OLS)» Procedures for Air Navigation ServicesAircraft Operations (PANS-OPS)» Restricted light zones» Protections of air navigation aids» Minimising stack/efflux andvisibility hazards» Limiting bird activity in closeproximity to the airport» Appropriateness of adjacent land uses» Minimising the reflective nature ofstructures in the airport’s vicinity.Diagrams showing the OLS andPANS-OPS are included in the 2014Master Plan.AVIATION SERVICESAND FACILITIES(Section 7.4 of the Master Plan)Aviation support services cover abroad range of operations, includingequipment used alongside aircraft,passenger screening within terminalsthrough to fuelling activities.This section of the Master Plan outlinesplans for the future development ofaviation services and facilities.Safety and SecurityBrisbane Airport is committed tomaintaining the safety and securityof passengers, airlines and theairport community.Management of lighting on and around Brisbane Airport is critical to aviation operationsBAC complies with the AviationTransport Security Act 2004 andAviation Transport Security Regulations2005 and has developed its ownTransport Security Program.The adoption of new technologies assistsin achieving continuous improvementsin safety and security at the airport.To control and operate its securityand emergency services effectively inthe future, BAC is also planning for animproved Operations Control Centreonce the NPR becomes operational.Air FreightMoving air freight in a timely manner isan important part of BAC operations.Total international freight is forecast toincrease from 92,000 tonnes in 2012/13to around 200,000 tonnes in 2033/34.BAC expects that air freight willcontinue to be transported as air cargoin passenger aircraft and so freightfacilities will continue to be locatedwithin close proximity of passengeraprons wherever possible and futureexpansion will be located within theAirport North precinct.Ground Service EquipmentGround Service Equipment (GSE) isused to service aircraft at the terminaland includes:» Equipment used by ground handlersfor loading/uploading baggage andcargo, aircraft cleaning, lavatoryservice and potable water supplyto aircraft» Equipment used by ramp engineersfor aircraft line maintenance, groundpower, preconditioned air and aircraftpush-back» Aircraft containers and unitload devises.Brisbane Airport currently hasapproximately 38,000 m 2 of GSEparking and storage areas betweenInternational T1 and Domestic T2.By 2034 the GSE area required isexpected to be around 55,000 m 2 .It is proposed to locate GSE in areasthat are operationally accessible.Aviation Fuelling FacilitiesEfficient and reliable aviation fuellingfacilities are a fundamental componentof airport operations. Currently BrisbaneAirport stores fuel at Hakea Street,between the terminals, and at LomandraDrive. This secondary facility is dueto cease operations in 2014, at whichpoint additional storage capacity willbe installed at the Hakea Street facility.In the long-term the Hakea Street depotwill be relocated.Aircraft Maintenance FacilitiesMaintenance activity are undertakenat aircraft gates and hangar facilities,as well as through dedicated facilities.Qantas, Virgin Australia, Five StarAviation, Alliance Airlines and AustralianAerospace use hangar facilities in theAirport East precinct.Brisbane Airport 2014 Master Plan – Summary Booklet 19
