Adelaide Airport Curfew Act 2000

The operator of an international aircraft may apply to the Minister for permission to take‑off from, or land at, Adelaide Airport during a curfew shoulder period.

An application:

must be in writing; and

must specify the day and time of the proposed take‑off or landing; and

must set out the reasons why the applicant thinks the permission should be granted.

The Minister may request further information from the applicant that is, in the Minister’s opinion, relevant to making a decision whether or not to grant a permission.

The Minister may, in writing, grant or refuse to grant permission. However, the Minister must not grant permission where to do so would result in more take‑offs or landings occurring during a curfew shoulder period than is permitted by regulations made for the purposes of section 8.

The Minister may impose conditions on a permission.

Without limiting subsection (5), a permission is subject to the following conditions:

if the permission relates to a take‑off—the take‑off is from runway 23; and

if the permission relates to a landing:

the landing is on runway 05, unless meteorological conditions require the aircraft to land on another runway; and

the aircraft does not use reverse thrust greater than idle reverse thrust.

Application may be made to the Administrative Review Tribunal for review of a decision:

to refuse to grant a permission; or

to grant a permission subject to conditions.

Under section 266 of the Administrative Review Tribunal Act 2024, the decision‑maker must notify persons whose interests are affected by the making of the decision of their right to have the decision reviewed. In notifying such persons, the decision‑maker must have regard to the matters (if any) prescribed by the rules made under that Act.

Aircraft taking off or landing as permitted by section 14 or 16 are not to be counted towards the maximum number of take‑offs and landings under regulations made for the purposes of section 8.
