Question

1. In terms of the performance reporting and monitoring of Airservices that the Department conducts, what performance reporting and monitoring data has the Department collected and reviewed about Airservices' performance in actually reducing noise and reducing the health and wellbeing harms associated with noise pollution experienced by Brisbane communities?
a. Has Airservices managed to deliver any net noise reductions in Brisbane in the last four years as promised to communities?
2. The Noise Action Plan currently being rolled out by Airservices contains no impact metrics. Airservices have been asked through AAB, through BACACG, through BFPCA, and during engagement sessions since the NAB started, to install proper assessment metrics and impact KPIs and measures, yet they refuse and to this date there are no proper ways provided to objectively assess whether any net noise reductions have been achieved or will be achieved. What is the Department's position on this failure, and when will they intervene as part of their performance reporting and monitoring of Airservices?

a. If not, what are the forward plans for the Department properly considering modern, evidence informed noise metrics to mitigate noise harm?
2. Has the Department considered the long term national benefits of adopting the WHO researched international health related noise metrics?
3. How is the Department responding to recent recommendations on community health from the WHO that the following new health related aircraft noise metrics be introduced to mitigate noise harm:
