Two flight paths would go over Russell Island (inbound and outbound) and one over Macleay Island (inbound) potentially leading to around 98 flights in total causing airplane noise and pollution, environmental consequences and lots of plane congestion over our lovely islands.
It looks like volumes of air traffic will increase as the Brisbane airport expands and prepares for the 2032 Olympics.
The islanders are objecting about the Airservices Australia lack of engagement with the SMBI and believe that the proposed flight paths will negatively affect the health and wellbeing of islanders and also our unique Ramsar Wetland which is listed as being of international importance, our Moreton Bay Marine Park.
The group is pushing for an “over the ocean” solution to keep flights away from populated areas and avoid passing over the SMBI.
Don’t let planes ruin our peaceful island life!
