Federally-leased airports (excluding Mt. Isa and Tennant Creek) have established Community Aviation Consultation Groups (CACGs), which provide an effective avenue for local community engagement on airport planning and operations, including aircraft noise. The Department for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Communications provides guidelines for CACGs.
Non federally-leased airports may also choose to establish CACGs or community forums.
CACG membership depends on the characteristics of the airport and any local issues of community concern however, generally includes:
Airservices does not formally belong to CACGs, but is invited to attend to provide relevant information and assist in discussions. We engage with CACGs on flight path and airspace changes, as well as technical reviews, such as noise monitoring and noise abatement procedures.

The practice of direct tracking arrivals to Runways 21 and 24 over Stoneville and Parkerville, northeast of the airport, was addressed. “Direct tracking” involves taking an aircraft off the standard flight path and giving it a shorter route. This now only occurs when it is operationally required, for example, for traffic management reasons to ensure separation is maintained.
In November 2014, Airservices implemented a change of procedure that will require jet aircraft departing on Runway 35 to reach a ‘waypoint’ around 10 kilometres from the runway north of Canberra suburbs before turning left, rather than as soon as they reach 7 000 feet. This will result in jet aircraft flying over non-residential land rather than residential areas of Gungahlin.
In August 2013, Airservices issued a Letter of Agreement to parachute operators from Canberra Airport, which will result in them flying over residential areas to the north of the airport less frequently, particularly at weekends.
In May 2013, Airservices permanently implemented an alternative departure procedure from Perth Airport that reduces the number of aircraft flying low over north-western suburbs during the night. The permanent implementation of this procedure follows a trial that started on 27 July 2011 and was known as the ‘Keels trial’.
The new flight path allows some aircraft that previously departed late at night to the north of the airport and then turned towards the coast to make use of RAAF airspace to the north of the airport when the area is not in use by Defence. This change did not apply to all aircraft departing to the north, or change any routes for flights departing to the south.
Previously, most of these aircraft (mostly heading to destinations in the Middle East and Africa) overflew Beechboro and suburbs to the west of Beechboro at between 2500 and 4000 feet (760 to 1200 metres). The new flight path has some of these aircraft take a more northerly route and only turning after they reach 8000 feet (2400m). This additional height reduces the impact of aircraft noise on the ground. It also provides some night-time respite for residents in Beechboro and the suburbs to the west of Beechboro.
Following additional community consultation and environmental assessment, in July 2014 use of this procedure was expanded to all hours when RAAF Pearce airspace is not in use. This will continue to deliver improved noise outcomes for residents living in nearby suburbs including Beechboro, Malaga and Ballajura.

Arriving aircraft from the east that are making an instrument approach to Runway 03 (long straight-in approach to the southern end of the main runway) converged at a point near Bedfordale. Airservices proposed to move this converging point some 8-10 kilometres to the east to reduce the number of aircraft impacting the Bedfordale area. This change came into effect on 5 March 2015.
