C1118(1) Item 6            Sydney Airport Preliminary Draft Master Plan 2039 - Council         Submission

Motion: (Lockie/Porteous)

 

THAT Council:

 

1.            Forward the attached submission to Sydney Airport Corporation in response its exhibition of the Preliminary Draft Master Plan 2039 for Sydney Airport;

 

2.         Adds the following details to the draft submission:

 

·        A brief summary of the health impacts of noise exposure to strengthen Council's arguments for reducing these impacts; and

·        Requests that Sydney Airport act to and advocate for a reduction in pollution generated by flights and its airport operations, similar to the way in which it proposes to act to and advocate for reductions in noise and improvements in sustainability.

 

3.       Endorse that the attached submission, with the amendments outlined in point       2, which:

 

·    supports the Preliminary Draft Master Plan’s objectives relating to safety, security, environmental protection and enhanced sustainability;

·    requests that the existing curfews and caps continued to be maintained and that any future pressure to modify these should result in such flights being accommodated at Western Sydney Airport;

·    proposes increased emphasis on sustainable transport; and

·    requests clarification on aspects of aircraft noise projections.

 

4.         Write to the NSW Minister for Transport requesting that station access fees be removed from both of the airports heavy rail stations and that new bus routes be established to connect Sydney Airport with key areas, such as Sutherland Shire, Bayside and Georges River Council areas (key home locations of airport employees), Newtown, St Peters and Marrickville centres (nearby nodes and residential centres);

 

5.            Adds the following details to the draft submission:

 

a)    That what is being proposed is a significant intensification of use and significant further development of the Sydney Airport site that will have overwhelmingly negative impacts on the whole of the Inner West and is therefore not supported;

 

b)    As well as the more than doubling of passenger numbers and freight this proposal also includes up to 120,000 Square meters in the North West sector for hotel and office commercial development which will generated significant further traffic congestion and impact on existing local businesses and is not supported;

 

c)    That as well as no change to the curfew and the caps there must be no increase in total number of flights. While the caps are not currently used to capacity they were never intended to be used to capacity and it needs to be noted that if the flights did fill the caps (which would be 80 flights an hour) this would create unreasonable noise and pollution impacts for many parts of the Inner West; 

 

d)    That the submission notes that this PDMP will generate significant noise and air pollution originating from the airport and flights over the Inner West these should be properly real time monitored and there should be no increase in the already unreasonable levels;

 

e)    That the statement in 2.0 “that Council-commends Sydney Airport Corporation Limited and the Federal Department of Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Development in preparing the new PDMP for Sydney Airport. council considers that many of the proposed initiatives are appropriate and worthwhile.”; and

 

f)     Replace this with: ”Council does not support the PDMP however Council acknowledges some useful initiatives ....”
