This interview highlight explores Melbourne Airport's proposed Noise Sharing Plan for the future third runway, due to open in 2031. Peter speaks with Romina Cavallo from GHD, the independent team leading community engagement on the project, about how aircraft noise could be distributed across Melbourne rather than concentrated over specific suburbs. They discuss the challenges of balancing fairness with safety, weather conditions, and airport operations, as well as the feedback received from more than 500 community members during earlier consultation rounds.

With a draft Noise Sharing Plan now open for public feedback, Romina explains how residents can review the proposals, attend webinars and community information sessions, and share their views before consultation closes in October. A fascinating insight into the planning behind Melbourne's aviation future and the role the community can play in shaping it.
