Sunshine Coast Council would like to correct certain misinformation that is being circulated in the community in relation to the proposed airspace and flight path design for the operation of the new runway.
The proposed airspace and flight path design has been developed in accordance with the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) which was subject to extensive community engagement during its development between 2012 and 2014 and through two community consultation/public exhibition periods in 2014 and 2015.
Sunshine Coast Council took every effort to inform residents about the project, resulting in the requisite project approvals being granted by State and Federal Governments.
An analysis of the flight paths and airspace design indicates there has been minimal change to the information originally provided in the EIS to the community in 2014 and 2015, including details of the flight path which crosses the coast between Marcus Beach and Castaways Beach.
Sunshine Coast Council has made overlay maps available to the public to demonstrate this is the case.
