Sydneysiders will have the chance to run down Australia’s newest international runway before it welcomes its first passengers and planes in October 2026. This once-in-a-lifetime Runway Run/Walk event will turn the nearly-complete airport into a historic racecourse, with distances from a half-marathon to 14-kilometre, seven-kilometre and four-kilometre events.

The planes are gonna go right over me. I'll need to redo every window double glazed or I wont be able to sleep. Probably 20-30k, realistically I'll have to move cause I don't have that money. Not to mention having windows closed on summer nights is insane.

I am sorry you and so many others will be impacted.

no curfew is completely derranged. The point of a city is to be a place for humans to live, not maximise freight shipped or whatever.
