5. Implementation and Monitoring Committee

   5.1 Airservices Australia should establish an Implementation and Monitoring Committee whose membership should include two community representatives appointed by the Minister for Transport and Regional Development, the aviation industry, the Federal Airports Corporation, the Civil Aviation Safety Authority and the Department of Transport and Regional Development. The Committee should be chaired by a senior official of Airservices Australia, and report through Airservices' Chief Executive to the Minister. The Committee should have terms of reference shown in Attachment A.

   5.2 Airservices Australia should initiate, through the Implementation and Monitoring Committee,

       • a study into the patterns of runway use by long haul aircraft;

       • further development of the arrival flight paths to the north of the airport (known as the 'trident') to reduce the concentration of air traffic on the Runway 16 localiser tracks;

       • an assessment of the noise exposure benefits of ICAO A and ICAO B departure procedures;

       • an examination of the merits of requiring propeller aircraft departures on runway 34L to commence no further north than Taxiway B10;

       •  an examination of viable systems for disseminating monitoring information to the public;

       • a review of the location of permanent noise monitoring terminaIs (plus any additional noise monitoring terminals) in light of the new operating arrangements under the Plan; and

       • the development of a program of short term deployment of portable noise monitors to provide data to residents in areas where significant problems are identified.

   6. Matters for Further Advice

   Airservices Australia should provide advice to the Minister for Transport and Regional Development on:

       • the need for aircraft to track through Botany Bay Heads after departure from Runway 16R to achieve separation with traffic approaching to land on Runway 34L when simultaneous opposite direction parallel runway operations are in use; and

       • the costs and benefits of installing an Instrument Landing System on Runway 25.

   7. Noise Monitoring

   7.1 Airservices Australia should produce Australian Noise Exposure Index (ANEI) contours on a quarterly (and cumulatively up to 12 months) basis with the first quarterly ANEI to be produced for the quarter commencing 1 October 1997.

   7.2. Airservices Australia should produce an Australian Noise Exposure Forecast (ANEF) for the Airport as soon as it is possible to provide robust forecasts on future traffic movement patterns. In the interim the Australian Noise Exposure Concept (ANEC) contours should be updated on a six monthly basis.

   7.3 Airservices Australia should maintain and enhance the responsiveness of the Noise Enquiry Unit through appropriate staffing and equipment and access to the best available noise monitoring methodology.

   7.4 Airservices Australia should add permanent noise monitors to the present noise and flight path monitoring system where appropriate to allow monitoring
