Explanatory Note for Condition 4 – Northern Runway: 
Night-Time Restriction

i. Throughout the life of this unitary plan it is AIAL’s clear intention to maximise the use of the Existing Runway at night and as a result, during the lifetime of this district plan, Non-Jet Aircraft using the Northern Runway between the hours of 11.00pm and 6.00am, and jet aircraft using the Northern Runway between the hours of 10.00pm and 6.00am, are not permitted to depart to or arrive from the east except within the limited exceptions provided for in this Condition.

ii. For the avoidance of doubt, the need or otherwise for a similar night time restriction on use of the Northern Runway in any subsequent district or unitary plan will be assessed at the relevant time, and the presence of this Condition on this designation is not intended as an indication that such a condition will or will not be appropriate in any future designation for the Airport.

Noise from Aircraft Operations

5. Subject to Conditions 6 and 7 below, noise from Aircraft Operations shall not exceed a noise limit of:

a. A Day/Night Level (Ldn) of 65 dB anywhere outside the HANA . For the purpose of this control, aircraft noise shall be measured in accordance with NZS 6805:1992 and calculated as a 12 month rolling logarithmic average; and

b. A Day/Night Level (Ldn) of 60 dB anywhere outside the HANA and the MANA. For the purpose of this control, aircraft noise shall be calculated as a 12 month rolling logarithmic average using the INM and records of actual Aircraft Operations.

c. Clauses (a) and (b) of this Condition do not  apply within the designated area or within the Coastal Marine Area..

d. In addition, AIAL shall:

i. monitor noise from Aircraft Operations at a minimum of three locations associated with the Existing Runway which are as near as practicable to the boundary of the HANA to obtain an accurate reading so as to demonstrate compliance with (a) above;

ii. monitor noise from Aircraft Operations at a minimum of two locations associated with the Northern Runway so as to demonstrate compliance with (b) above. The required monitoring may be undertaken at points in the MANA and then by calculating the corresponding noise level at the MANA boundary;

iii. use the INM and noise monitoring data to calculate whether noise from Aircraft Operations complies with (b) above;

iv. calculate noise levels at every other location necessary to ensure compliance with this Condition and with Condition 10;

and shall provide a detailed written report to the Council every 12 months describing and interpreting the results of the monitoring and describing and explaining the calculations and findings.

Interim Noise Control on Northern Runway
6.      
a. For the first five years following the commencement of aircraft operations on the Northern Runway, noise from Aircraft operations associated with the Northern Runway shall not exceed  55 dB L_dn at the intersection of the Northern Runway centreline and State Highway 20. For the purpose of this control, compliance may be assessed by measuring aircraft noise at an alternative location (closer to the Airport) and calculating the corresponding noise level at the intersection of the Northern Runway centreline and State Highway 20. In addition, for the purpose of this control, aircraft noise shall be measured in accordance with NZS 6805:1992 and calculated as a 12 month rolling logarithmic average. The measurements and calculations for any such assessment shall be produced by AIAL if requested by the ANCCG and, if required by the ANCCG, shall be subject to independent review and verification.

b. Clause (a) of this Condition shall not apply from the date of receipt by the Council of a certificate from a suitably qualified independent person proposed by AIAL and approved by the Council, certifying that, either of the following circumstances apply:
i. There is a need to establish new operations, or relocate existing operations, because there are insufficient apron areas or taxiway capacity alongside the Existing Runway, or a new or existing operation requires facilities or services not available at the Existing Runway but which are or can be provided at the Northern Runway.
ii.      Rehabilitation works on the Existing Runway require use of the Northern Runway to a level which would exceed the  55 dB L_dn at SH 20 control to maintain current and projected demand.

c. The suitably qualified independent person referred to in Condition 6(a) above shall include, when supplying any certificate to the Council, a report which contains:

• A summary of the information provided to the suitably qualified independent person by AIAL; and
• The Audit Group’s reasons for the granting of the certificate.

d. The costs of the suitably qualified independent person shall be met by AIAL.

7. Exceedance by up to 1 dB L_dn of the noise limits in Conditions 5 and 6 is permitted, provided AIAL demonstrates at the request of, and to the satisfaction of, the Council that any such exceedance is due to atypical weather patterns (including wind speed and direction) during the measurement period, such as produced by the El Nino/La Nina climatic oscillation.

8. Aircraft operations described in clauses (a) to (g) of this Condition, below, are excluded from the calculation of the rolling logarithmic average in Conditions 5, 6 and 7 above:
a. Aircraft landing or taking off in an emergency;
b. Emergency flights required to rescue persons from life-threatening situations or to transport patients, human vital organs or medical personnel in a medical emergency;
c. The operation of unscheduled flights required to meet the needs of a national or civil defence emergency declared under the Civil Defence Act 2002;
d. Aircraft Operations resulting from an emergency which necessitates the closure of the Existing Runway;
e. Aircraft Operations resulting from the temporary closure of the Existing Runway for essential maintenance which necessitates the unrestricted use of the Northern Runway;
f. Aircraft using the Airport as a planned alternative to landing at a scheduled airport elsewhere;
g. Air shows.

The abovementioned offer shall be made on the basis that any structural or other changes required under the Building Act or otherwise to enable the installation of the acoustic treatment and related ventilation measures shall be at AIAL’s cost, except that nothing in this clause shall require AIAL to fund any measures required to bring a building up to the standard required in any building bylaws or any provisions of any statute that applied when the building or relevant part thereof was constructed.

j. AIAL’s obligations under clause (i) of this Condition for acoustic treatment and related ventilation measures shall be “capped” at the maximum costs set out in Attachment B of this designation. For the avoidance of doubt, the costs in Attachment B are expressed as the maximum costs for which AIAL shall be responsible, and, in addition, AIAL shall not be required to expend the maximum costs where the acoustic treatment and related ventilation measures can be installed by AIAL more cost effectively to achieve the internal acoustic environment and related ventilation standards specified in this Condition (Condition 10). Any new windows installed as part of the acoustic treatment and related ventilation measures shall be made able to be opened or shall be fixed at the discretion of the owner(s) of the educational facilities at the time the work is undertaken.

For existing educational facilities, the maximum figures referred to in Attachment B are exclusive of GST and are in year 2012 dollars and they will therefore be adjusted to compensate for inflation and increased annually from the date of the inclusion of this designation in the Unitary Plan by the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index (All Groups) or any substitute national measure of inflation adopted in lieu of the Consumer Price Index (All Groups).

New Buildings at Existing Educational Facilities Within the MANA

k. Where, in the case of educational facilities established within the MANA before 10 December 2001:

i.  A new classroom, library, or hall is to be established; or

ii. An addition or alteration is to be made to any existing classroom, library or hall,

and the new classroom, library or hall, or the addition or alteration, is not by definition, an Existing Building, then AIAL upon receiving advice of the proposed works, shall make an offer to the owner(s) of the relevant educational facilities to provide funding (and if the offer is accepted, provide funding) for acoustic treatment and related ventilation measures to achieve an internal acoustic environment (with all external doors and windows of the classrooms, libraries or halls closed) of  40 dB L_dn for all such new facilities along with ventilation to a standard consistent with clause (i) of this Condition, above, provided that this offer shall be conditional on:

• The owner agreeing to contribute 25% of the costs of the acoustic treatment and ventilation measures;
• Construction of the new or additional facilities otherwise complying with the relevant requirements of the Building Act and any relevant legislation,

and further provided that AIAL’s obligations under clause (k) of this Condition shall only extend, in the case of additional classrooms, libraries or halls, to those which the Regional Network Manager — Auckland of the Ministry of Education or successor of that office certifies are required as a result of roll growth caused by underlying increases in population in the catchment in the immediate vicinity of the educational facility.

l. The offer referred to in clause (k) of this Condition may be made on the basis that if the new or additional facilities are removed from the affected site before the  60 dB L_dn AANC reaches the affected site, any cost incurred by AIAL in respect of that building shall be returned to AIAL.

New Public Schools or Pre-schools Within the MANA

m. AIAL shall offer the owner(s) of any new public (i.e. non-private or integrated) school or preschool to be established on affected sites located within the MANA, funding (and if the offer is accepted, provide funding) for acoustic treatment and related ventilation measures to meet the requirements in, and to a standard consistent with, clause (k) of this Condition, above, provided that this offer shall be conditional on:

• The owner agreeing to contribute 50% of the costs of the acoustic treatment and ventilation measures;
• The Regional Network Manager — Auckland of the Ministry of Education or successor of that office certifying, following consultation on the issue of location with AIAL, that the proposed new school or preschool could not reasonably be located outside the MANA.

Building Act 2004

n. All work undertaken pursuant to the terms of this Condition (Condition10) shall be in accordance with the Building Act and any other relevant legislation.

o. Nothing in this Condition (Condition 10) shall require AIAL to fund any measures required to bring a building up to the standard of the building regulations that applied when the building was constructed or the relevant part thereof was last modified.

Certified Standard Packages and Individual Packages

p. Where this Condition (Condition 10) requires AIAL to offer to provide acoustic treatment and ventilation measures, AIAL:

i.

These standard packages may be updated or further developed at any time. Each standard package shall be:

• Sufficient to achieve the internal acoustic environment and ventilation requirements specified in this Condition (Condition 10) for the type of building within the FANC for which the package has been developed;
• Certified to that effect by a suitably qualified independent person (or persons) nominated by AIAL and approved by the Council (“an approved person”) (“certified standard package”); and
• Developed in consultation with the Building Research Association of New Zealand.

For the avoidance of doubt the standard packages are intended to mitigate against aircraft noise, not against other sources which may have different characteristics and hence require different attenuation in respect to the treatment measures on offer;

ii. Shall offer to install (and if the offer is accepted, install) the relevant certified standard package, which has been certified by an approved person as being suitable to fulfil the requirements of this Condition (Condition 10) for the building and FANC within which the building is located; and in all other cases, shall offer a package certified by an approved person as suitable, at the time of the offer, to achieve the internal acoustic environment and ventilation requirements specified in this Condition (Condition 10) for the FANC within which the building is located (“certified individual package”) and if that offer is accepted, shall install the certified individual package.

q. Where AIAL installs any acoustic treatment and or ventilation or air conditioning measures, AIAL:

i. Shall provide the Council with a certificate from a suitably qualified independent person (or persons) nominated by AIAL and approved by the Council, that the installation of any relevant certified standard package, or relevant certified individual package, has been properly undertaken in accordance with sound practice; and

ii. Shall not be in breach of this condition where the internal noise standards and related ventilation requirements are not met in each instance provided the relevant certificate required in sub-clause (q)(i) of this Condition, above, has been provided to the Council.

Aircraft Noise Mitigation Fund

11. AIAL shall (at its cost and to the Council’s satisfaction) maintain a Trust with two Trustees appointed by AIAL, two Trustees appointed from the community by the Council, and one Trustee appointed by the ANCCG.

12. AIAL shall contribute $ 325,000 (in 2012 New Zealand dollar terms) per annum plus GST if any (adjusted thereafter to compensate for inflation and increased annually from December 2012 by the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index (All Groups) as provided for in Condition 12A, below), to a Noise Mitigation Fund, to be administered by the Trustees for the benefit of the local community affected by aircraft noise and located or residing within the HANA, MANA and ANNA, for the purpose of:

a. The mitigation of adverse effects associated with noise from Aircraft Operations which are not provided for under Condition 10 (“other adverse effects”); or

b. Ensuring positive effects on the external environment to offset those other adverse effects; or

c. In cases of significant financial hardship, assisting an owner or owners to meet their share of the costs of acoustic treatment measures or enhancements as set out in Conditions 10(c)(ii) and 10(e)(iv).

12A. On each anniversary of the Trust, AIAL will make a payment to the Trust of an amount sufficient to compensate for inflation over the immediately preceding annual period calculated in accordance with the following formula:

$325,000 x A%, where A is the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index (All Groups) (or any substitute national measure of inflation) for that 12 month period.

Explanatory Note, Aircraft Noise Mitigation Fund:

While there are various physical measures proposed by way of acoustic insulation and ventilation of buildings containing Activities Sensitive to Aircraft Noise, the Aircraft Noise Mitigation Fund is designed to ensure that adverse effects of aircraft noise on the external environment which cannot be mitigated by physical means can at least be partially offset by providing positive effects in the form of enhanced cultural, recreational and other opportunities and facilities to affected residents. Those opportunities and facilities may be provided outside the affected area but should be readily available to affected residents.

Point A: This is a position located at the eastern end of the centreline of the existing runway. The position of Point A is shown on the Department of Survey and Land Information plan number SO 44954. In metric terms, the co-ordinate value of Point A is:
685,729.76m N
303,667.43m E

Co-ordinate values and bearings are in terms of the Geodetic Datum 1949 and origin of co-ordinates is Mt Eden, 700,000nM 300,000mE.

The western end of the existing runway centreline is 3635 metres west on a bearing of 251⁰ 00'01" from Point A on Figure 1 to this designation.

2b. Proposed Second Runway
The eastern end centreline of the proposed second runway is defined as Point C on Figure 1 to this designation with geodetic co-ordinates of:
687,048.03m N
301,506.40m E

The western end centreline proposed second runway is defined as Point D on Figure 1 to this designation with geodetic co-ordinates of:
686,348.07m N
299,473.53m E

3. Runway Strips
The runway strips are areas at ground level 300 metres wide symmetrical about the runway centreline. The ends of the runway strips are 60 metres beyond the eastern and western ends of the defined runway centrelines.

4. Approach Slopes - General
The surfaces known as Approach Slope Surfaces meet requirements for both approach and takeoff.   The Approach Slopes (inner edge) start at the points as specified in clauses 4a and 4b below and are symmetrical about the extension of the runway centreline. The Approach Slopes rise at a gradient of 1.2% and terminate at a point 152 metres above mean sea level (AMSL). The sides of the approach slope diverge from the runway centreline at a rate of 15%.

4a. Approach Slopes - Existing Runway

Eastern Approach Slope
Starting point - end of the eastern clearway, i.e. 213.36 metres east of Point A.
Width of inner edge - 346 metres.
Starting Level - 9.66 metres above mean sea level.

Western Approach Slope
Starting point - western end of the runway strip.
Width of inner edge - 342 metres.
Starting level - 6.83 metres above mean sea level.

4b. Approach Slopes - Proposed Second Runway

Eastern Approach Slope
Starting point - end of the eastern clearway, i.e. 400,00 metres east of Point C.
Width of inner edge - 402 metres.
Starting Level - 17.00 metres above mean sea level.

Western Approach Slope
Starting point - end of the western clearway, i.e. 235.5 metres west of point D.
Width of inner edge - 353 metres.
Starting level - 17.00 metres above mean sea level.

5. Inner Horizontal Surface
The Inner Horizontal Surface is a flat planar surface at an altitude of 52 metres above mean sea level. The outer limits are located 4000 metres from and parallel to the outer sides and ends of the runway strips as depicted on Figure 1 to this designation. The corners of the rectangle are formed by a radius of 1500 metres.

6. Transitional Surfaces
The Transitional Side Surface slopes upwards and outwards from the sides of the runway strips at a gradient of 1:7 extending until they meet the Inner Horizontal Surface and Approach Slopes.

7. Conical Surface
The Conical Surface slopes upward and outwards from the periphery of the Inner Horizontal Surface at a gradient of 1:40 until reaching an elevation of 152 metres above mean sea level.

8. Procedure Turning Area Surfaces
There are two Procedure Turning Areas located to the east and west and bounded by the Conical Surfaces. The surfaces for the Procedure Turning Areas are at 152 metres above mean sea level or 21 metres above terrain whichever is the higher. The northern limit of both Procedure Turning Areas is 4000 metres north of the northern side of the proposed second runway strip. The southern limit of both Procedure Turning Areas is 4000 metres south of the southern side of the existing runway strip. The western limit of the western Procedure Turning Area is 14,000 metres west of the Inner Horizontal Turning Surface. The eastern Procedure Turning Area extends 16,000 metres east of the Inner Horizontal Surface.

9. Controlling Surface
At any point where any two surfaces overlap and are at differing elevations, the lower of the two surfaces shall apply.

Part 2: Restrictions Relating to Runway End Protection Areas

The Runway End Protection Areas (REPAs) shown on Figure 3 to this designation, are areas off the ends of both the existing and proposed second runways which are required to be free of obstructions or activities which could interfere with aeronautical navigational aids. The areas of the REPAs as required for operational purposes are also areas in which, statistically, there are greater chances of aircraft related accidents. It is considered desirable that the public's exposure to such risks be reduced by limiting the range of activities permitted in the REPAs. The following requirements for REPAs are intended to achieve both objectives which, to a large extent, are compatible.

The requirements for REPAs detailed in this section are based on the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Office of Airport Standards (Washington, DC, USA) Advisory Circular 150/5300-13 Airport Design and the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) of New Zealand Advisory Circular AC 139-06A Aerodrome Design - Aeroplanes Above 5700kg MCTOW.

The REPAs comprise fan-shaped areas plus a rectangular area which extends beyond the fan along the extended runway centre-line. The fan-shaped areas commence at the ends of the runways strips (defined in the Specification for Obstacle Limitation Surfaces) and extend equidistant about the extended runway centre-line to a point 750 metres from the end of the runway strips. The width of the fan at this point is 525 metres. The rectangular areas then extend beyond the fans and equidistant about the extended runway centre-lines, for a further 540 metres. The width of the rectangular areas is 120 metres.

All buildings, except those required for aviation purposes, are prohibited within the REPAs. For the purpose of this section, the word "building" shall have the meaning assigned to it in the Building Act 2004, except that the exclusions listed under Section 9(a), (ab), (ac), (b), (c), (f), (g), (h) (i) & (j) of that Act shall not apply and those objects shall be considered to be buildings. Any buildings erected in the REPA for the proposed second runway shall be removed unless the building has the written approval of Auckland International Airport Limited under section 176(b) of the Resource Management Act 1991.

In addition to buildings, all activities within the REPAs which generate or have the potential to generate any of the following effects are prohibited:
a. Mass assembly of people;
b. Release of any substance which would impair visibility or otherwise interfere with the operation of aircraft including the creation of smoke, dust and steam;
c. Concentration of dangerous substances;
d. Production of direct light beams or reflective glare which could interfere with the vision of a pilot;
e. Production of radio or electrical interference which could affect aircraft communications or navigational equipment; and
f. Attraction of birds.

Part 3: Requirements for Non-Aeronautical Ground Lights Adjacent to Extended Runway Centre Lines

CAA Advisory Circular AC 139-6 requires that any non-aeronautical ground light which, by reason of its intensity, configuration or colour, might cause confusion or prevent the clear interpretation of aeronautical ground lights, should be extinguished, screened or otherwise modified so as to eliminate such a possibility. For Auckland International Airport, this requirement currently applies to the Existing Runway only. In advance of the Northern Runway becoming operational a similar requirement will need to be introduced for that runway. The current requirement applies over a rectangular area, 1500 metres wide, extending equidistant either side of the extended runway centre-line for a distance of 4440 metres from the end of the runway strip (as defined in the Specification for Obstacle Limitation Surfaces). This area is shown in Figure 4 to this designation.

For ease of administration, Auckland International Airport Ltd requires that any light in the above area be prohibited from shining above the horizontal.
