What the Notice Does
The Department of Home Affairs has issued notice NTC-31317, formally declaring Canberra Airport a security controlled airport and setting out its airside area under the Aviation Transport Security Act 2004.
The notice replaces an earlier notice (C2025G00161), which was registered on 1 April 2025. That earlier notice is now revoked.
Nature of the Notice
This is a procedural gazette notice. It does not itself create new obligations beyond confirming the airport's security status and airside boundaries.
Key Actions
- Businesses that operate at or supply services to Canberra Airport, including freight, ground handling, retail, or hospitality operators, can check the full notice text on the Federal Register of Legislation page to confirm whether the airside area boundary affects site access or security clearance requirements.
- No submission or deadline applies - this is a finalised gazette notice, not a consultation.
Effective Date
The effective or detection date listed for this notice is 2026-10-22.
