SA: Master plan for airport approved

ADELAIDE, Dec 22 AAP - The federal government will not lift a curfew at Adelaide Airport
but has approved a major redevelopment.

Federal Infrastructure Minister Anthony Albanese said on Tuesday the airport's 2009
master plan would establish its future direction and investment program.

The plan outlined the expansion of aviation and passenger facilities, including a new
charter terminal, air traffic control tower, multi-level car park and hotel, road modifications,
and relocation of freight handling facilities.

But Mr Albanese said the 11pm-6am curfew would remain in place, "providing the community
respite from aircraft noise at night".

Airport management has 50 business days to release its master plan to the public.
