Shellharbour City Council and the Airport Operators have an agreed fly neighbourly policy which states that:
- Pilots use runway 08 (to the east) only when operationally necessary (due to wind direction).
- Helicopters are not allowed to overfly the residential area to the east of the airport at an altitude less than 1000ft (300m).
- Air Ambulance helicopter pilot familiarisation training is restricted to practice approach and departures.
- Night training restricted to north/south runway with runway 34 preferred.
- Night circuit training to cease at 10pm local time.
