Circuit Training at Moorabbin Airport Circuit Training at Moorabbin ...

MARA:
The federal government is only tinkering with us. It can be done by regulating a phase‐out
deadline and implementing Australian Standards more stringently than currently accepted
internationally. It would be an opportunity for local manufacturers.
9.6. Is it possible to introduce noise monitoring at Moorabbin the way
it is done at other airports such as Sydney and Melbourne?
There are limited noise monitoring systems installed around major capital city airports to
monitor jet aircraft noise emissions. This information is accessible to the public through the
webtrak system.
Airservices Australia:
Data gathered by the Noise and Flight Path Monitoring System (NFPMS) assists in the
environmental management of aircraft operations in the vicinity of airports. Data from the
system benefits air traffic control planning and traffic analysis and enhances planning for the
use of airspace and runways.
At this current time Airservices has no plans to include Moorabbin in the NFPMS.
Costs are determined by hardware as well as associated costs determined by site location,
power availability, security and licensing. As equipment and software is provided by a third
party actual costs would need to be determined.
MARA:
This will only benefit the community if regulation requires reduced emissions and penalties
for non‐observance. Noisy aircraft can be identified on the ground and particularly at take‐
off.
City of Kingston:
Council’s preference would reduce training circuits in the evening periods, weekends and
public holidays. Council would not contribute to the cost of acquiring or manufacturing a
noise monitoring system for Moorabbin Airport.
City of Greater Dandenong:
The City of Greater Dandenong made an identical submission to the City of Kingston.
