Summaries of feedback

7.15 On 1 May, Airservices updated its website to advise that:

                  We have received a significant number of submissions and responses, and will be
                  consolidating them for consideration in the final design.

                  A Summary of Feedback will be released on Airservices website in due course.

7.16 On 10 May Airservices further advised that:

                  Due to the high number of submissions and correspondence received, we are unable to
                  respond individually.

7.17 On 7 June 2019, Airservices published the following update on its website:

                  In response to our community consultation activities, conducted between 20 March and
                  30 April 2019, we received a considerable amount of feedback, both from the areas
                  where we consulted on the proposed flight path variations (‘consultation areas’), and
                  from the broader Sunshine Coast community, where the flight path designs are
                  consistent with the concept flight paths in the approved EIS.
                  As a result, we have decided to release summaries of this feedback, and our
                  consideration of the feedback in the context of the final design development, in three (3)
                  stages:

                   Summary of Feedback – Part One (Consultation Areas): Summarises the
                    feedback received from the communities in the specific areas where we consulted
                    on proposed flight path variations, and provides an analysis of the themes within this
                    feedback (released 7 June 2019).
                   Summary of Feedback – Part Two: Summarises the general feedback received
                    from communities in the broader Sunshine Coast area, including an analysis of the
                    themes within this feedback (release date by end of June 2019).
                   Consideration of Feedback: A summary report on how we have considered the
                    feedback provided by the Sunshine Coast communities in shaping the final flight
                    path designs (release date in early July 2019).
