Can any one tell me if any of the suburbs are affected by noise from the airport, and if so which ones.

Thanks

Gettin in quick with an early response, but from what I can gather (never been), Brissie airport is built pretty much in a strip of land with no houses aorund. It appears to be right at the point where the river meets the sea. Might be worth having a look on 'google earth' and zooming right in to see whats what!

We are in Aspley, can watch the planes landing from here, and sometimes hear them but not enough to notice. The neighbours lawnmower and dog are louder, as is the railway line. Used to be in Clayfield, which is probably the closest really residential suburb, but you wouldn't have known the airport was there.
It really is out on a bit of reclaimed land, with almost all approach paths over the sea. Noisiest time aircraft-wise is late at night in summer when you sometimes (but rarely) hear the engines running ro a couple of minutesbefore takeoff, or when there's a storm and they can't approach over the sea.

Thanks for the info.

Pinkenba, Fisherman Island, Whyte Island. You'll only be disturbed if you live at the Caltex or BP refineries of the Port of Brisbane grain/container terminals.

I work in Hemmant and they get quite loud there

For info on a lot of burbs you can look on www.ourbrisbane.com.au

....but seeing Hemmant is mainly a light to heavy industrial zone, I don't think the noise would quite matter that much.

Or work at Eagle Farm...we can tell when the pilots get the approach wrong you can hear the throttle(?) changes and we all just look at each other in shock ...but no houses...will only ever be an industrial zone

My daughter goes to school in Cannon Hill and she says they are so loud the teachers have to stop talking when the planes fly over.

It only really those roads as you drive in from port of brisbane that are industrial once you go past the train station there loads of houses , still a crap area anyway

Another problem that the Gov't should address by soundproofing the classrooms. BTW, has anyone raised the issue of this with Dept of Education through the P&C Assn?

The Bloke

Its that I have only really ever used the main drag to the port, so I was assuming that the whole area was like that.

we live in woolloongabba.....

planes either fly along side our house, or right over the top of it.... I think I've noticed it maybe once or twice, and that was just after we moved in.

the possom in the tree next door, and the bats across the road make more noise!!!!!!!!

We can watch them come and go but don't really hear them. I work in Eagle Farm and we don't really notice them indoors but obviously you can hear them outdoors. Be interesting to see what all of the people think who buy the new apartments at Hamilton when it's developed and the planes are coming in over there to land.
