Western Sydney International Airport flight path development received 8,477 public submissions on its draft Environmental Impact Statement released in October 2023, following extensive community engagement across 26 local government areas reaching 1.5 million addresses. The Department of Infrastructure led an Expert Steering Group including CASA, Airservices Australia, Defence, and WSA to design airspace and flight paths. Between October 2023 and January 2024, the department conducted 25 engagement events, 37 briefings with MPs and councils, and consulted on two additional proposals: redirection of eastbound jet aircraft at night and night-time noise abatement procedures. A submissions report was being developed to address issues raised, with the final Environmental Impact Statement scheduled for publication in late 2024. Non-confidential submissions were published on the department's Online Community Portal.
