The province announced Tuesday it's looking for a planning consultant to review land-use policies around the airport and update a 25-year-old airport noise study. She said her government is paying for the study because the province has a huge interest in what she described as "proper land-use planning" for the area around the airport. "The airport is essential to that, as is that area of the city of Winnipeg." The Winnipeg Airports Authority welcomed the planning review and new noise study. Another developer, Towers, also sought amendments to the Airport Vicinity Protection Area plan.
