I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Mr Daryl Wilson of Upper Mount Gravatt. Daryl has been our Bonner community's representative as part of the Brisbane Airport Community Aviation Consultation Group since 2019. Uniting governments, industry professionals and locals, this group serves as a forum for those impacted by developments and operations at the Brisbane Airport—particularly those relating to noise pollution.

It has been a pleasure to work with such an experienced and passionate advocate. Daryl has represented our community's interests well, and I applaud him for his service. Flight noise can be a frustrating issue for many in our community. As someone who lives under a flight path, I say, with the upmost sincerity, that I am working hard to effectively advocate for commonsense solutions to this issue.

Together, Daryl and I have fought and advocated for commonsense solutions in the best interests of Bonner locals' health and standard of living. With Daryl's assistance, I have written to the minister, submitted multiple petitions and hosted forums to ensure everyone can have their voices heard. While our petition on the proposed flight paths for the southern suburbs of Bonner is still being considered by Airservices Australia and the minister, I have been encouraged by the success of the phase 1 petition. Thank you to the 1,800 locals who have signed. I am very proud to say that our voices were heard. (Time expired)
