This declaration made key aeronautical services for intrastate NSW flights “notified services” under the Trade Practices Act, limiting what Sydney Airport Corporation Ltd can charge and requiring good‑faith price and access negotiations with regional carriers, with arbitration if needed. It protected regional NSW routes from monopoly pricing and ran from 1 July 2007 to 1 July 2010.
