STRATEGIC AIRPORTS AND AVIATION FACILITIES
Table 1 – State Interest Policies for Strategic Airports and Aviation Facilities

 Policies                                               Solutions

 All of the following state interest policies must be appropriately integrated in planning and
 development outcomes, where relevant.

 1. Strategic airports and aviation facilities are
    identified, including the associated Australian
    Noise Exposure Forecast (ANEF) contours,
    obstacle limitation surfaces or height
    restriction zones, public safety areas, lighting
    area buffers, light restriction zones, wildlife
    hazard buffer zones, and building restricted
    areas.

 2. The safety, efficiency and operational integrity The proposed development will not adversely
    of strategic airports are protected.             impact the safety, efficiency and operational
                                                     integrity of strategic airports in accordance with
    Development and associated activities:
                                                     the relevant requirements of the State interest.
    a) do not create incompatible intrusions, or
         compromise aircraft safety, in operational
         airspace;
     b) avoid increasing risk to public safety in a
        public safety area; and
     c) are compatible with forecast levels of
        aircraft noise within the 20 ANEF contour
        or greater [as defined by Australian
        Standard 2021–2015: Acoustics—Aircraft
        noise intrusion—Building siting and
        construction (AS 2021), adopted 12
        February 2015] and mitigate adverse
        impacts of aircraft noise.

 3. Development complements the role of a            N/A
    strategic airport as an economic, freight and
    logistics hub, and enhances the economic
    opportunities that are available in proximity to
    a strategic airport.

 4. Aviation facilities are protected by avoiding       N/A
    development and associated activities within
    building restricted areas that may affect the
    functioning of the aviation facilities.

 5. Key transport corridors (passenger and             N/A
    freight) linking strategic airports to the broader
    transport network are identified and protected.
