MAYOR CALLS FOR SOUND PROOFING

Fairfield asks for funding assistance

FAIRFIELD Mayor, Frank Carbone has asked the Federal Government to ensure sufficient funding is provided to assist home owners who will be impacted by noise from the airport at Badgerys Creek.

The Federal Government is proposing that the airport operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with aircraft noise impacting on families in the local area. Mayor Carbone is seeking support for two assistance packages:

•    Immediate funding for any new home being built within the impact zone to be sound proofed.
•    A package for existing homes that do not have the appropriate soundproofing measures to retrofit their homes.

“I believe sufficient funding should be provided by the Federal Government to assist home owners with the extra cost and burden of soundproofing upgrades,” he said.
