                  considered to be mainly attributable to updated model inputs to better reflect current
                  airport operating conditions.

                  In consideration of the limited environmental impact predicted against AA-NOS-ENV-
                  2.100, in combination with the general consistency with findings of the EIS, it is not
                  considered likely for the proposed change to result in a significant increase in impact to
                  the health, safety, welfare or quality of life of people and communities. It is therefore
                  considered that the proposed change does not warrant further referral under the
                  Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.

                  It is nonetheless recommended that a community engagement plan be implemented
                  that encompasses the areas predicted to experience aircraft noise and informs
                  residents of the proposed change and provides an opportunity to raise concerns. 10
