Greenvale Training Area proposed Restricted Area

The Australian Government has purchased a parcel of land in the vicinity of Greenvale, North Queensland in order to establish a new Defence Training Area under the Defence Regulations 2016. This brief outlines the proposal to establish restricted airspace in support of this development, known as Greenvale Training Area (GVTA). In developing this proposal, the Joint Airspace Control Cell (JACC) has consulted with Airservices Australia and Defence airspace users.

The issue

This proposal notes the following key issues 

• Location and design of GVTA restricted airspace
• Impact to ERC-L/H air routes (activation height dependant)
• Impact on adjacent landowner use of airspace above private property

The Joint Airspace Coordination Cell seeks feedback from the aviation community on the proposal.

A link to the previous proposal is provided here.
