Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications and the Arts, response to questions taken on notice, public hearing 20 September 2024 (received 22 October 2024)

Matthew Canavan asked:

CHAIR: I will just go back to my original question, and I'm happy to take this on notice. What are the government's priorities? What's more important: reducing carbon emission or reducing noise on local communities?

Ms Werner: The government is already taking into account noise impacts, through the master plan and major development plan process. CHAIR: Take it on notice and ask your minister what's more important. Ms Werner: Okay. I'm happy to take it on notice.

CHAIR: It's a very simple question. What's more important? Are they equally important? Is one more important than the other? That's all I want to know. Thank you

Answer: The Australian Government’s aviation priority is safeguarding the community as well as ensuring the current and future safety, viability and growth of aviation operations at Australian airports. This is achieved through balanced consideration of policy, legislative and regulatory requirements.
