The Office of Airspace Regulation (OAR) has conducted an airspace review within a 15 nautical mile (NM) radius of Avalon Airport to determine if the airspace remains fit for purpose. The review examined the airspace architecture, classifications, procedures and infrastructure from the surface to 8,500 feet (FT) above mean sea level (AMSL). The previous aeronautical study specifically for Avalon was conducted in 2008.1 This airspace review applies CASA’s regulatory philosophy which considers the primacy of air safety, whilst taking into account the environment, security, cost and is consistent with the Australian Airspace Policy Statement 2018 and the Minister’s Statement of Expectations. A multifaceted approach was used in conducting this review, including quantitative and qualitative analysis consisting of: • Aerodrome traffic data; • Airspace design; • Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) incident data; and • Stakeholder consultation.

17 June 2016 Att: Michael Mason Chief Executive Officer
17 June 2016 Att: Michael Mason Chief Executive Officer Infrastructure Victoria Level 34, 121 Exhibition Street MELBOURNE VIC 3000 Re: All things considered – Victoria’s 30 Year Infrastructure Strategy Dear Michael, Please find attached Avalon Airport's response to Infrastructure Victoria’s discussion paper "all things considered". Our response details Avalon’s strategic importance to the State of Victoria and specifically highlights relevant infrastructure needs to maximise this dynamic asset. We have also attached research conducted by Essential Economics on International Flights Visitor Spending and the Avalon Airport Master Plan – Job Creation Analysis. Both reports assist in explaining the economic impact of the airport to both the region and the state. As discussed at a recent meeting with Infrastructure Victoria representatives, to maximise the economic outputs from existing aviation infrastructure, Avalon believes it is time for the state of Victoria to have a clear and precise two airport policy. In essence the policy would give each airport certainty in their direction and provide a clear signal to airlines and investors on the medium to long term development of Melbourne and Avalon airports. Issues such as future freight and logistic hubs would also form part of the policy and link to infrastructure requirements. A direction from the government of Victoria to Infrastructure Victoria on the need for such a policy and requesting the preparation of a scoping document is a clear recommendation in our response. We thank you for the opportunity to provide feedback on this important 30-Year Infrastructure Strategy and look forward to working with you in the future.

Avalon Airport First in Australia to Introduce Touchless Airport Check-In
Avalon Airport first in Australia to introduce touchless airport check-in MELBOURNE, Australia, 7 May, 2020 – Elenium Automation today announced it has expanded its relationship with Avalon Airport, signing a deal that will make Avalon the first airport in Australia to implement touchless self-service, ensuring world-class passenger safety and experience when the airport recommences flights. Avalon Airport will become the first airport in Australia to implement this technology as an addition to Elenium’s full suite of automation technologies. The adoption of Elenium’s touchless technology demonstrates Avalon Airport’s commitment to providing passengers, airline partners, and staff with an effective, rapid response to the current COVID-19 virus, as well to future health risk scenarios. The implementation of the solution also underlines Avalon Airport’s continued drive to leverage state of the art technology to protect its passenger and optimise airport operations. Building on its work to make the self-service experience accessible to all passengers, regardless of ability or age, last month Elenium announced it had developed touchless, patent-pending technologies that can also measure a passenger’s vital signs including temperature, respiratory and heart rate. The touchless component of this technology will be available at Avalon Airport kiosks and bag drops to assist in the fight against COVID-19 and other transmissible illnesses. Avalon Airport CEO Justin Giddings, said: “The partnership between Elenium and Avalon demonstrates how quickly a response to the COVID-19 virus can be implemented. This solution will allow passengers to go through the self-service experience without touching a device, thereby providing a seamless, intuitive and safe method of moving quickly through the airport.” Instead of touching screens, passengers at Avalon Airport will control their interaction with the kiosks and bag drops via head movement.

21 November 2019 Innovation And
21 November 2019 Innovation and excellence on show at AAA National Airport Industry Awards A development project that changes how we respond to emergencies, a community engagement program reaching tens of thousands of people and a technical solution that allowed a taxiway replacement to be completed in just five weeks were among the winning projects at the Australian Airports Association (AAA) 2019 National Airport Industry Awards last night. AAA Chief Executive Officer Caroline Wilkie said this year once again showcased the industry’s commitment to delighting passengers, inspiring technical excellence and innovation, and supporting the growth of our cities and communities. “Every year the standard rises even higher as airports find new ways to work smarter, faster and always with the passenger in focus,” Ms Wilkie said. “We have seen airports once again improve how passengers access the airport, enjoy their time before their flight and move quickly through airport processes as a result of some innovative projects this year. “There are also some fantastic examples of airports forging ever-stronger links with their local area as an important part of the fabric of their communities. “it is great to see so many airports investing in a truly passenger-centric and sustainable future for our industry.” Brisbane Airport took out the capital city airport of the year after ramping up its community engagement program ahead of the opening of its new runway next year. Avalon Airport won the major airport category after welcoming its first international services, while Dubbo City Regional Airport took out the large regional airport category. Bendigo Airport was named small regional airport of the year after its first commercial flights in more than 30 years commenced in 2019, while West Sale Airport’s upgrade earned it the title of small regional aerodrome of the year.
