Auckland Airport is committed to managing aircraft noise. Part of that commitment is offering noise reduction packages to qualifying homes.

Every year Auckland Airport offers noise reduction packages to the owners of particular homes located within specific aircraft noise contours. These packages are designed to reduce the impact of aircraft noise and help you can maintain a healthy home while your doors and windows are closed.

The package

Auckland Airport has forecast noise contours for the two years to 30 June 2026. Click here to view our online tool and a map of the forecast noise contours.
Homes that were built or granted resource consent after 10 December 2001, or homes that have received a package in the past do not qualify for a package
