“It’s 75 decibels in my bedroom. That’s louder than a whipper-snipper,a lawnmower and air blower at once.

“You can’t talk on the phone or hear the TV.”

One resident called out during her speech to say he was selling his home because he could not cope with the noise.

Griffith Greens candidate Max Chandler-Mather said residents were “fed up” with BAC.

“Over the last 10 to 15 years,they have been told repeatedly that the new parallel runway would lead to more flights taking off and arriving over the bay,” he said.

“But instead what we’ve seen is an unprecedented increase in flight traffic over some of the most densely populated areas of Brisbane without any sort of say over what has happened to Brisbane city.

“All that we’re asking is for is that we should have a curfew just like Sydney Airport,we should have a cap of total of flights to arrive every day and a new flight path model to be designed with the say of people across the city.”

Rachel Crowley,BAC’s executive general manager for communications and public affairs,said the corporation was open to listening to residents’ views.

“We ensured that we were here and able to respond to people and receive and accept their complaints,” she said.

“We’ll respond to all of them and what we also encourage people to do is use the formal channel through Airservices Australia.

“Our commitment to people we made from the very beginning is that wherever we can find some improvements to make life easier,we will do that.”

Ms Crowley said people were also welcome to take part in Airservices Australia’s post-implementation review,which would examine the first year of operation.

More protests were expected.
