Joan Pease MP • 2024-02-01

Airservices Australia have appointed Trax International (Trax), a leading provider of professional and technical services, to deliver Packages 3 and 4 of the Noise Action Plan for Brisbane.

Key Points:

Trax International have been appointed to deliver Packages 3 and 4 of the Noise Action Plan

This appointmet follows an independent review

The first options will likely be available for community input after Easter.

I am advised that this follows an open market tender invitation in 2023, which received three responses, for appropriately-skilled and qualified consultants. Air Services Australia have advised me that the Trax appointment follows their independent review of Airservices’ Post Implementation Review of the flight paths designed for Brisbane Airport's new parallel runway in July 2020. I am advised Recommendations from that review formed the basis of the action plan, which was developed to reduce the impact of aircraft noise following the introduction of the new runway. Air Services Australia have further noted that Trax is already working on designs that respond to Package 3 and 4 actions, and they have advised that the first options should be ready to share with the wider Brisbane community after Easter. I will continue to keep Baysiders updated on further developments from Air Services Australia regarding the Noise Action Plan for Brisbane.
