The draft insulation policy outlines a range of potential noise treatment options, including sealing gaps around doors and windows, closing vents in walls and ceilings, improving roof and ceiling insulation, and increasing the thickness of windows. The draft EIS said detailed eligibility requirements for the program — which would be "strictly on a voluntary basis" — would be developed in 2024 based on community feedback and once the final flight paths are known.In order to integrate the new flight paths for Western Sydney Airport into Sydney's existing airspace — the busiest and most complex in Australia — there will need to be changes to some routes for other airports across the city.

"My department will hold more community information and feedback sessions across Sydney and the Blue Mountains over the coming months."
