Community Aviation Consultation Group

To promote engagement between the airport and its surrounding communities.

Community Aviation Consultation Group

Established in 2011, Darwin International Airport’s Community Aviation Consultation Group provides an independently chaired forum for engagement between the airport, key stakeholders and the local community on airport planning, development, operations, and associated impacts and opportunities. The group meets three times a year. 

  • Topics discussed at the Community Aviation Consultation Group may include:
    impacts of existing development and operations at the airport
  • plans for future development (including Major Development Plans) and steps being taken to implement the airport’s Master Plan or develop a new plan
  • proposals to increase or change aviation services
  • noise (including aircraft noise) and environmental issues
  • ground transport and access issues
  • access issues for passengers, including people with disabilities
  • planning, regulatory, and policy changes affecting the airport
  • improvements or changes to airport facilities
  • airport procedures for effective complaints-handling
  • reports from Airservices Australia and the Civil Aviation Safety Authority on issues affecting the community
  • the contribution of the airport to the local, regional and national economy, and
  • strategies to ensure the broader community is informed of issues discussed in the CACG.


The Community Aviation Consultation Group is for consultation purposes only. It is not there to resolve airport or aircraft-related complaints or resolve aviation-related commercial disputes. Nor is the group an arbitration or decision-making body.
