Volume B - Airport and Surrounds

This Volume of the EIS/MDP reports on “ground level” aspects of the NPR project, assessing impacts on airport land, its fringes and surrounding areas, as well as socio-economic impacts. The Volume concludes with a framework for the Environmental Management Plan (EMP) that summarises the best practice management strategies, measures and monitoring requirements that will be applied to the project.

The areas covered in this Volume include:

  • Airport land.

  • Areas immediately to the west comprising open space along Kedron Brook Floodway, the southern extent of the Boondall Wetlands and parts of the suburbs of Nudgee Beach, Banyo and Northgate.

  • Areas immediately to the north comprising Bramble Bay which is part of the Moreton Bay Marine Park.

  • The northern bank of the Brisbane River that is adjacent to and east of the Airport including industrial and residential land, as well as the Luggage Point Waste Water Treatment Plant.

  • The southern boundary of the Airport bounded by the Gateway Motorway, the Australia TradeCoast region and various suburbs that contain a mix of residential, commercial and industrial land uses.

  • Major infrastructure projects in the local region such as the Gateway Upgrade Project (GUP).
