The Australian government appointed the country's first aircraft noise ombudsman, cutting the work out for the new official.

Anthony Albanese, minister for Transport, announced on Tuesday the appointment of Ron Brent as ombudsman. Mr. Brent will have the responsibility of examining complaints regarding airport noise and the effectiveness of the processes on community consultation about airport noise.

The appointment was marked in the white paper about aviation published by Mr. Albanese in the latter part of the previous year.

"The new position will give communities around airports a better opportunity to follow up issues and complaints about aircraft noise," the Transport Minister said.

It also aims to improve public information about the effects of noise coming from operations involving aircraft.

Airservices Australia will finance the project.

Mr. Brent was formerly the deputy ombudsman for commonwealth. He will officially start with his new post on September 1.

The aircraft noise ombudsman will furnish reports regularly to the board of Airservices Australia and to the transport minister of Australia.

He is also required to release detailed report every year.

In June, a senate hearing on estimates has heard about 24,000 complaints involving noise from aircraft which were filed by 4400 Australians in the previous year.
