                      b. Provide justification for the change, explicitly describing how any potentially
                         negative impacts are balanced by benefits, and on what basis the chosen
                         approach is optimal compared to viable alternatives;

                      c. Describe timeframes for implementation, specific proposed flight paths, and likely
                         noise levels and associated impacts;

                      d. Consider the social, economic and cultural context of the communities being
                         consulted to ensure genuine engagement and accessibility of information.

                8. The community shall receive all relevant information relating to a change proposal
                   within a reasonable timeframe, to provide them with the opportunity to effectively give
                   feedback prior to implementation.4
