Preliminary flight paths for the new Western Sydney Airport show residents in a 20-kilometre stretch of land will experience noise levels of around 70 decibels by 2033.

Construction began three years ago for the $5.3 billion international airport, also known as Nancy-Bird Walton Airport, at Badgerys Creek, 45km from the Sydney CBD and which is due to open in late 2026.
