RAAF Base Amberley is Defence’s largest operational air base and home to the Royal Australian Air Force’s F/A-18F Super Hornet and EA-18G Growler fleets. These critical capabilities are central to the security of Australia.
To ensure the Australian Defence Force can continue to operate these aircraft while meeting local community needs, the government announced an expansion of its noise monitoring to address aircraft noise at RAAF Base Amberley.
Defence held an information session on Thursday 29 May 2025 to outline the program and develop a timetable for noise monitoring at eligible households willing to participate.
The expanded noise monitoring program was completed in July 2025.
Defence are reviewing options to address aircraft noise at RAAF Base Amberley.
