00:00This is what life could soon sound like for Roger and Denise who have lived in their Glenbrook
00:09home for more than 40 years.
00:11Until the decision to build an airport on our doorstep it used to get better every week.
00:17It was a great place to live.
00:19The airport will operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week when it opens in late 2026.
00:26It has affected me and I know as every plane goes overhead as I get older.
00:32The one thing is going to be bitterness.
00:36The government is offering some homeowners free insulation to dull the noise of flights
00:40but Roger and Denise won't be eligible.
00:43Residents are calling for a curfew and greater consultation.
00:47Concerned aircraft noise will keep residents awake and impact the environment.
00:53Air pollution needs to be regulated in relation to noise as a pollutant.
00:59Amid mounting pressure the draft night time flight paths were released for public consultation
01:04last week by the Albanese government.
01:07While night flights over the village of Linden will be decreased, jets between 11pm and 5.30am
01:13will depart and arrive along runways from the south east.
01:17Foolishly I thought that this was some sort of a dialogue where we had some sort of input
01:22into the process.
01:24What we're asking for is fair and balanced flight paths.
01:28A balance proving difficult to keep everybody happy.
