Alongside our active monitoring of some bold noise improvement initiatives by Airservices Australia (Airservices), the 2014-15 period involved an expansion of our Charter. The Aircraft Noise Ombudsman (ANO) role now encompasses the management of military aircraft noise by the Department of Defence (Defence).
The Aircraft Noise Ombudsman acknowledges Traditional Owners of Country throughout Australia and recognises the continuing connection to lands, waters and communities. We pay our respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures; and to Elders past and present.
