Web to help explain aircraft noise

BRISBANE: A new website designed to explain aircraft noise in Brisbane is taking the battle to safeguard the long term future of Queensland’s most important gateway to the humble home computer.

The Brisbane Airport Centre on-line website, http://bne.com.au/experience-centre, is designed to provide easy-to-understand information about how Brisbane’s airspace operates now and into the future, including how flight paths will change as a result of the opening of the New Parallel Runway around 2020.

The first Experience Centre of its type in Australia incorporates information displays on the airport’s operations, historic multimedia presentations, interactive maps and a unique Australian-designed software program enabling the community to understand the current and future operations of Brisbane Airport and how these will impact on aircraft noise patterns across Greater Brisbane. It also includes displays on aviation safety, security, border protection, environmental management, and the future growth of the aviation industry.

The launch of the online component follows the opening of Australia’s first physical airport Experience Centre at Brisbane Airport in July last year, attended by Federal Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, Anthony Albanese.

Brisbane Airport Corporation CEO Julieanne Alroe (pictured) said the Experience Centre was a major plank in Brisbane Airport’s community engagement program, and taking it online will be a great benefit for many thousands of Queenslander’s looking to plan their future lifestyles, or just to better understand how Brisbane Airport operates.

“Apart from noise information, the Centre is designed to explain how Queensland’s capital city airport operates, how aircraft are managed, how the airport is planned, and how we are meeting the challenges of growth. Visitors will find lots of interesting facts and figures about the airport, its history and its role. It is proving to be as popular with school groups and aviation enthusiasts as it is with people with an interest in aircraft noise.”

The Experience Centre itself is located at Brisbane Airport Village, with opening hours from 9am -6pm Monday to Friday, and 10am to 3pm Saturday, Sunday and Public Holidays.
