Understanding Aircraft Noise
Understanding Aircraft Noise and Our Location Near Western Sydney Airport
We know some people have questions about aircraft noise with the new Western Sydney International (Nancy-Bird Walton) Airport set to open in 2026. It’s an exciting development for our region, but it’s natural to want to understand what it might mean for day-to-day living.
Our location – 14km from the airport
OHN is located around 14 kilometres from the airport site. Independent planning and environmental studies, including detailed noise modelling, have been completed as part of the airport’s approval process. These show that our location is outside the 20 ANEC (Australian Noise Exposure Concept) contour – the threshold used in Australia to identify areas most affected by airport noise. This means aircraft noise levels are not expected to be significant for our residents.
Building for comfort
We’re also committed to designing a community where people can truly relax at home. Modern building materials and construction techniques will help ensure your home stays quiet and comfortable, whatever is happening outside.
The airport’s benefits for our community
While it’s important to address noise concerns, it’s also worth recognising the many positives the airport will bring to the Western Sydney region:
- More jobs closer to home: The airport and surrounding Aerotropolis precinct are set to create tens of thousands of jobs in aviation, logistics, technology, tourism and more.
- Better transport connections: New motorway links and the Sydney Metro rail line will make it easier than ever to connect with other parts of Sydney and beyond.
- Global access: Direct flights to destinations around Australia and the world will make both business and leisure travel more convenient.
- Catalyst for investment: The airport is expected to attract new businesses, services and amenities to the region, improving lifestyle and boosting property values over time.
Our vision is to create a vibrant, well-connected community that benefits from the opportunities the airport will bring, while ensuring residents enjoy a peaceful and high-quality living environment.
