Our reputation
APAC is committed to delivering responsible
airport operations that protect and enhance
the environments and communities in which
they operate.
Stakeholder
and community
engagement
> Stakeholder audit – every year a
comprehensive and in-depth audit
is conducted with some of Melbourne’s
key stakeholders with Melbourne
achieving 95 per cent and 92.5 per
cent for quality of relationships and
communications respectively.
> Stakeholder consultation – Melbourne
and Launceston’s Community Aviation
Consultation Groups (CACG) continued
with their program of regular public
meetings. In Melbourne, attendance
at the forum grew significantly as the
Master Plan and future developments
became key discussions points.
