It is getting increasingly difficult not to imagine there has been a covert and concerted effort to influence both the political and bureaucratic entities charged with the oversight of how Australia's secondary airports are administered.
This manipulation has been going on for a long time, probably to when Australia's secondary airports were transferred into the clutches of development sharks. I guess it was always going to be, just as CAsA will do what its charged to do, churn out regulations with no regard for the consequences of their regulation, development sharks will do what development sharks do, develop, with no regard for the consequences of their development.
With CAsA the prime objective is power, and access to the Holy public trough, with developers the prime objective is the holy dollar. Here's a vision for the poor civilian residents of the Bankstown, Holsworthy Chipping Norton area.
An "Intermodal transport Hub", whatever that means, a grand vision of the previous Minister for Infrastructure.
Envision Freight trains from Port Botany bringing thousands of containers 24/7 to a sorting center. Thousands of semi trailers roaring through the suburbs 24/7. That is the concept.
Bankstown airport becomes a 24/7 Airfreight hub, reduced to a single runway, all other aviation excluded.
Imagine for a moment, all the Department of defense land at Holsworthy, Bankstown Airport, Warwick Farm, all "VACANT" undeveloped land then think on:
"BRW Rich Lister Bob Ell is set to buy a prime industrial property in Sydney’s south-west as the market for A-grade industrial assets heats up. The 34-hectare site on the corner of Milperra Road and Henry Lawson Drive is near Bankstown airport and two kilometres from the M5 Motorway."
The purchase, for an estimated $25 million, hinges on a lengthy development approval process with the federal government, owing to the site’s proximity to Bankstown airport.
The Sharks circle.
Can a bunch of aviation enthusiasts stand a hope in hell of competing with the sort of money available to corrupt the political or bureaucratic process. Not a snowballs chance in Hades.
This is Australia corruption does not exist!!
Yet a "PAIN" associate who has been researching for this thread has received death threats......
...(bad; seriously, silly move).
It is passing strange that in the course of his investigations various government agencies have expressed outrage over the evidence of non compliance with the law, only to not wish to be involved a week later. To quote our associate, its almost like "someone" is following me around with a very full brown paper bag.
Hmmm?? - I Wonder, if the population surrounding Bankstown airport are aware that the airport is a "Certified" Toxic Waste Dump.
Who certified it as such?
Oh really? : an authorized environmental person. Was this person employed by BAL?
Did he use a Commonwealth Government letter head to write the approval?
Was he game to actually sign that approval?
Was this person qualified and authorized to declare a flood plain a TOXIC waste dump?
Well I guess the answers to these questions is academic, depends how much money was paid to and to whom, I guess....

Quote:"Ell’s company Leda Holdings now has a pipeline of industrial developments and investments of about $650 million. A Leda spokesman says demand is steady for prime industrial property along the M5 and M7 Motorways."
Quote:“Land in Sydney’s south-west and off that M5 corridor is not plentiful, there’s not a lot of land out there," the spokesman says. “Even in the Eastern Creek precinct the land is drying up. There’s not a shortage by a long shot but there’s certainly not going to be an oversupply in the future."
The purchase, for an estimated $25 million, hinges on a lengthy development approval process with the federal government, owing to the site’s proximity to Bankstown airport.
Quote:"The purchase, for an estimated $25 million, hinges on a lengthy development approval process with the federal government, owing to the site’s proximity to Bankstown airport. Ell hopes to build an industrial park that will house a mix of large industrial users, retail showrooms and bulky goods centres".
