ANEF – Changes in noise exposure in your area

How has the noise forecast changed in Master Plan 2039?

All forecasts assume that from late 2026, Sydney basin’s aviation demand will be served by two international airports, being Sydney Airport and Western Sydney Airport.  Master Plan 2039 assumes that the existing flight paths will remain unchanged throughout the planning period.

The updated Sydney Airport ANEF 2039, endorsed for technical accuracy by Airservices Australia, takes into consideration aircraft movement forecasts, airport operating procedures and noise sharing models based on runway demand/capacity. The formally endorsed ANEF document can be found here.

The tool below allows you to explore the changes in the 2039 ANEF and compare it to the ANEF in Master Plan 2033.  Use the slider bar to change the ANEF contour level, and click the ‘Compare’ button to see how the noise exposure has changed at your location.
