Australian Noise Exposure Forecast (ANEF)
The ANEF, which is a land use planning tool used to manage noise sensitive land uses around the airport, provides guidance for the NSW Government and local councils to make informed planning and development decisions. The ANEF system underpins the Australian Standard AS2021:2015 Acoustic – Aircraft Noise Intrusion – Building Siting and Construction.
Sydney Airport’s ANEF 2039 is shown below with your location marked on the map. The ANEF levels are measures of total noise dose energy and considers:
- Aircraft movement forecasts in 2039 including aircraft fleet mix and origins/destinations
- Airfield layout, RMOs, associated arrival and departure flight paths and ATC allocations to runways and flights paths for each RMO/route
- Terrain elevation
- Meteorology as affecting runway direction, aircraft performance and atmospheric noise dispersion
- Opportunities to use noise sharing modes based on runway demand/capacity and meteorology
