Aviation White Paper – a flight plan for innovation and growth in the sector

Local communities, councils and airport operators are encouraged to have their say on the Aviation White Paper which will set the long-term policies to guide the next generation of growth and innovation in the aviation sector.

As part of the process to develop the White Paper, the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications and the Arts  recently released the Aviation Green Paper.

 The Green Paper outlines challenges and opportunities for Australia’s aviation sector to 2050 and options to respond to them. The Green Paper seeks stakeholder’s feedback to inform development of the Aviation White Paper. A stakeholder pack with more information is attached.
