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.

Melbourne Airport is preparing for significant growth, with a third runway, terminal expansions, and major changes to passenger access planned over the coming years.

In this highlight, Peter Greco speaks with Rosie Offord, Head of Planning at Melbourne Airport, about the airport's future and the upcoming public exhibition of the Melbourne Airport Master Plan.

Rosie explains how a projected increase in passenger numbers is driving more than $10 billion in infrastructure investment, including the airport's third runway, expanded international facilities, and changes to pick-up and drop-off arrangements for Terminals 1, 2 and 3 from October.

The discussion also explores accessibility, community consultation, and how people with disability, including those who are blind or have low vision, can help shape the future of Melbourne Airport through the consultation process.

MORE INFO: 

Public consultation opens on 10 August and runs until early November, providing opportunities for individuals and organisations to have their say.

People will be able to find more information and make a submission at: melbourneairportprojectshub.com.au
