(1) Has he sought advice on options for changing the regulation on the cap on hourly movements at Sydney Airport?

The answer to the honourable member's question is as follows:

The Government is committed to maintaining the cap at Sydney Airport and is not considering any proposals to amend the current cap of 80 movements per hour.

Options for increasing flexibility within the cap have been raised by stakeholders from time to time.
