End the Injustice of Aircraft Noise Pollution in Brisbane – Demand Action Now!

For years, Brisbane communities have suffered under relentless aircraft noise pollution, with the government failing to act. Despite the 2024 Senate Inquiry confirming the severity of the issue, the Australian Government has yet to respond, leaving residents in limbo.

The Australian Government released the Aviation White Paper on 26 August 2024, led by Minister Catherine King MP, acknowledging the need for stronger protections against aviation noise. Following this, the Senate Inquiry into the impact and mitigation of aircraft noise, chaired by Senator Matt Canavan MP, was released on 27 November 2024, highlighting urgent reforms. The Government’s official response was due on 27 February 2025, yet nothing has been issued.

Shockingly, during Senate Estimates hearings on 24 February 2025, it was revealed that the Department of Infrastructure and Transport had not even sent a draft response to the Minister for review. Instead of taking real action, the government has spent nearly five years instructing Airservices Australia to conduct meaningless “engagement theatre”—leaving residents to suffer while directing distressed community members to a dedicated mental health and suicide prevention hotline (1300 687 327).

Brisbane deserves real protections, not political stalling. This campaign calls on key decision-makers—Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, Infrastructure Minister Catherine King, Opposition Leader Peter Dutton, and Shadow Minister Bridget McKenzie—to implement urgent reforms.

We demand:

  • A Brisbane Airport night-time curfew, aligning Brisbane with Sydney, Adelaide, and major international airports.
  • Implementation of all Senate Inquiry and Aviation White Paper recommendations on noise mitigation, compensation, and independent oversight.
  • A Ministerial Direction for a Long-Term Operating Plan (LTOP) that prioritises noise reduction.
  • A flight cap to limit further damage to Brisbane communities.

Brisbane should have the same protections that cities like Sydney and Adelaide already enjoy. Take action today by using our email form to demand justice for our communities!

Email Tips +

Make your email stand out! Decision-makers are more likely to take notice if you personalise your message.

After the first sentence “I am writing to express my deep concern ...,” add a few lines about how aircraft noise has impacted you and your family. Have your sleep patterns, health, work, or quality of life been affected? Are your children struggling to concentrate at school? Have you had to change your daily routine to cope? Have you had to move or contemplating moving away? Sharing your personal experience makes your email more powerful and harder to ignore.

A strong, personalised message increases the chances of action—let them hear your voice!

Why does the form ask for so much personal info?

That’s only because the PM Anthony Albanese has shut down his email, and the official contact form pm.gov.au/contact requires all those fields. Our platform (DoGooder) securely fills that form for you, and your data is safely stored and never shared.

How we use the data you enter on this form

Do Gooder (the advocacy platform powering this online action) processes personal information from you that you enter on this form so that we can provide the functions and related services to you and The Campaigner (the organisation responsible for this online action) for their legitimate purposes, including possibly exporting it to other systems, and to effectively respond to enquiries and communications related to those services.

Specifically when you enter:

  • Your location data (residential address or postcode) it is used to locate your elected representative, to pre-populate your email signature and to provide The Campaigner with a visualisation of the location of the support for this campaign.

  • All other data you may enter, including your email address, name, telephone number, commentary and so on is used by The Campaigner to advocate for the campaign’s goals and where required may be sent to the target of the campaign.

These providers are bound by contract to only use personal information on our behalf, in accordance with agreed terms. While the privacy laws of the country in which personal information is stored or transferred may be different from those in your country, we will always have safeguards in place when storing or transferring personal information.
