                             Motion

                             18 April 2019 and request the Chief Executive Officer to make a submission in relation
                             to the proposed changes to flight paths for the Sunshine Coast Airport with such
                             submission:
                             A.   To focus on the establishment of a curfew similar to Gold Coast Airport (enforced
                                  by legislation) to minimise the impact of noise from flights on the amenity of
                                  residents in order to protect and maintain the Noosa lifestyle and environment;
                             B.   To request from Airservices Australia a detailed explanation as to why the intensity
                                  of flight numbers over the coastal flight path versus hinterland flight path has
                                  changed; and
                             C.   To request Airservices Australia to extend their community consultation process
                                  by 1 month to provide more time for Noosa residents to lodge submissions in
                                  relation to the proposal.
