Airservices Australia seeks community feedback on Hobart Airport flightpath changes

Airservices Australia is inviting the community to have their say on proposed flightpath changes at Hobart Airport.

This follows Airservices’ assessment of two community suggested recommendations from the Hobart Airspace Review Post Implementation Review (PIR).

Now, residents can discuss the flightpath change options developed in response to these recommendations at community engagement sessions held from 12-14 November at Dodges Ferry, Primrose Sands, Dunalley and Triabunna, as well as an online option. Visit here for details.

Residents can provide feedback here until 1 December.

If these suggested changes progress, Airservices will conduct further community engagement on the detailed design in 2025.

“Airservices Australia is committed to engaging with the community on the suggested changes to Hobart airspace operations,” said Airservices’ Head of Community Engagement Donna Marshall.

“Our primary goal is to ensure all community members are aware of the proposed changes and have the opportunity to provide feedback on any areas of interest.”
