Aviation Projects has provided assistance to the Wagner Group from the initial planning approval through to the construction and operation of Brisbane West Wellcamp Airport and continues to provide valuable ongoing advice and support.
Aviation Projects provided expert advice and guidance on a range of matters including the preparation of initial demand forecasts and scope of aircraft operations, concept layouts, concept airspace and aircraft flight paths and consideration of various other planning and operations matters. They have also provided advice on aeronautical infrastructure requirements and costs and operational advice on a variety of matters. Aviation Projects was able to assist with the introduction and ongoing operation of B747-800F aircraft by preparing a safety case that was approved by CASA.

Aviation Projects has been integral to the success of our airport and continues to be a valued advisor to our business.
Aviation Projects is the Australia-Pacific region’s leading specialist aviation consultancy. We are trusted to deliver innovative solutions to complex aviation problems across Australia and the Asia-Pacific.
Poor land-use planning around airports, heliports and vertiports leads to a range of issues and problems including aircraft safety hazards, operational restrictions, protracted litigation, amenity impacts for nearby residents and facility closures in extreme cases.
The purpose of Aviation Safeguarding is to assess the potential impacts of proposed infrastructure development projects on the airspace surrounding aerodromes, heliports and vertiports and navigable airspace in areas away from these facilities, to ensure that aircraft operations are not adversely impacted.
We work with clients, aviation regulators, local and state governments, airport, heliport and vertiport owners/operators, and commercial developers to develop solutions for aviation safety and airspace issues. Our solutions ensure risk is maintained at an acceptable level, and all current and future aircraft operations are safe, efficient, and reliable.
Where aviation safety issues have been identified or safety standards not met, we can investigate and assist our clients by developing detailed safety cases, rigorous risk assessments and treatment plans to ensure an acceptable level of safety.
We can also help to interpret and apply the Airports Act 1996 and associated regulations including the Airports (Protection of Airspace) Regulations 1997.

- Aircraft noise
