Addressing environmental impacts

The Western Sydney Airport Environmental Impact Statement released in 2016, is the result of a rigorous analysis of the airport project and its potential impact on the environment.

The analysis took into consideration issues such as:

• air quality
• biodiversity
• fuel jettisoning (fuel dumping)
• the potential impact on the Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area
• health
• noise
• water quality

Measures will be implemented to avoid, reduce or mitigate impacts related to the airport development.
