Noise Management Plan

During the consultative feedback on the proposed runway extension the airport received feedback from the local community about current aircraft noise. This feedback identified the increasing movements of General Aviation (small aircraft under 3 tonnes), and particularly circuit training, as an airport noise issue.

As a result of this feedback Hamilton International Airport's (HIA) developed a Noise Management Plan (NMP). The NMP describes the policies, standards and procedures used to manage noise generated by airport activities and is designed to be expanded as noise mitigation measures are identified and implemented.

An important component of the NMP will be the formation of the Airport Community Advisory Group (Advisory Group). The Advisory Group is being formed to provide a means for the airport, community and operators to understand the issues, identify possible mitigation measures and make recommendations to HIA.

If you have any feedback, questions or comments about the NMP please contact the Community Liaison Group, C/O Hamilton International Airport on 07 848 9027 or or click here to email the Group.

Reporting Noise Complaints

In response to feedback from the local community Hamilton International Airport has set up a process for reporting, recording and investigating noise complaints. In addition, the airport has setup a system to ensure aircraft movements over the airport are recorded 24 hours a day 365 days a year.

Complaints, questions or feedback regarding the Noise Management Programme should be directed to the Community Liaison Group, C/O Hamilton International Airport on 07 848 9027 or click here to email the Group.
