The Gold Coast Noise and Flight Path Monitoring System (NFPMS)
We have commenced a Noise Monitoring Review for Gold Coast Airport.
The purpose of the Review is to:
- Validate the operation of the two existing long-term noise monitors (Tugun and Banora Point)
- Consider and assess community suggested locations for a third long-term noise monitor in the Tweed Heads region or another suitable location in the broader Gold Coast region
- Provide findings to the Gold Coast Airport Noise Abatement Consultative Committee (ANACC)
For more information, including how to participate in the Review visit Engage Airservices.
We collect noise and operational data from two noise monitors (Environmental Monitoring Unit, EMU) around Gold Coast Airport. Noise monitors are listed below according to their location.
Access monthly data on our Gold Coast noise monitoring reports page.
