ot one of the community information and feedback sessions relating to the preliminary flight paths for the Western Sydney International Airport currently scheduled will take place in Penrith.
Sessions are being held over the coming weeks after the proposed flight paths were announced last week, with an online tool also released for locals to check how flight noise will impact them. The information sessions will take place in Bringelly, Warragamba, Horsley Park, Parramatta, Blacktown and Blaxland.
The closest Penrith locals get to an information session is a community information stall at the Luddenham Country Market on July 16. Similar stalls will be held at Blacktown and Narellan. Lindsay MP Melissa McIntosh has demanded a session be scheduled in Penrith so locals can have concerns addressed.
