Third Runway Project
Melbourne Airport is building a third runway, which will deliver much needed aviation infrastructure capacity for Victoria and help support thousands of new jobs.
Eastern Extension Project
To build the third runway, the current east-west runway (Runway 09/27) needs to be shortened at its western end from its current length of 2,286 metres to 1,940 metres.
Community Health Study
As a condition of approval for the third runway, Melbourne Airport has appointed independent health experts from Deakin and Liverpool universities to draft the terms of reference for an independent study into the health impacts of aircraft noise on communities surrounding the airport.
