Grayndler
Thursday, 30th September 2010
Federal Member for Grayndler and Transport Minister Anthony Albanese today introduced legislation into the Parliament to give local communities a greater voice and better information about planning and development at the nation’s major airports.
The reforms in the Airports Amendment Bill 2010 will:
“The previous Government was not serious about genuinely consulting with Inner West residents about the future of Sydney Airport,” said Mr Albanese.
“This legislation will give local residents more chance to have their say on planning developments put forward at the Airport.”
These reforms continue the implementation of the Government’s Aviation White Paper, Flight Path to the Future, which included over 130 policies and measures as part of a road map to help secure the industry’s future, uphold the highest safety and security standards and address community needs.
“We have already substantially implemented about half of the measures, and the successful passage of this bill will further the reform process,” said Mr Albanese.
