SAVE OUR AIPORTS - Because SMA won't...

In the hunt for secondary airport photo (recent development pics) for this week's SBG, I came across this photo album - https://www.facebook.com/pg/sydneymetroa...e_internal - from none other than the Sydney Metro Airports FB page...  



Some of the disturbing development pics attracted these comments:

Stephen King Stupidity right there !!

 Andrew Whiteman What happens when someone loses an engine on takeoff??? I can count two that have parked there in the last 15 years, a Seneca which sadly ended in a fatality and the PA28 a couple of years back that ended up in the ditch behind Bill Whitworth...

 Graham Wilson Ruining it......the future of the airport is now dim.

David Ian Grant Note the vehicles on Landsdown road. The Airport proudly says this abomination will create 2000 jobs. Thats another 2000 vehicles + into what's already a parking lot. thats a third of the airport land and they had to destroy a runway to do it. stage two is the destruction of the northern precinct, another third gone. Is the real Master plan to completely close the airport? What happened to the notion of reserving the airports for aviation use?

Sandy Reith Sadly we have had decades of very poor public airport policy and no policies for private enterprise to be sustained on these airports, let alone flourish, with hopelessly compromised leasing arrangements and no provision for freehold. The lack of oversight by successive governments has been irresponsible to say the least, and downright stupid to boot. The combination of the strangulation of General Aviation by the CASASTROPHE and the alienation of irreplaceable public airport lands and the absence of secure tenure for airport tenants is policy failure with very bad long term consequences.
