Oversight or lack there of - Part IV

Let's have a bit of a look at the Airports Act requirements; specifically Section 92(2):

92
(2)  If members of the public (including persons covered by subsection (1A)) have given written comments about the draft version in accordance with the notice, the draft plan submitted to the Minister must be accompanied by:

(a)  copies of those comments; and

(b)  a written certificate signed on behalf of the company:

(i)  listing the names of those members of the public; and

(ii)  summarising those comments; and

(iii)  demonstrating that the company has had due regard to those comments in preparing the draft plan; and

(iv)  setting out such other information (if any) about those comments as is specified in the regulations.

The bollocks below is part of what was provided as the certificate. I can see no names of the public, just a list of agencies, authorities and committees, the only names mentioned are Judy Maddigan and Kelvin Thomson. In the Summary of the views expressed by persons consulted, half of them say "EAPL provided a general briefing on the proposed Bulla precinct development". That's not a view!



Who from CASA confirmed the runway transitional surface measurements?

If there were comments provided, then where are the copies, refer 92(2)(a)?

This image and extract from the MDP is clearly at odds with the Part 139 MOS.





The requirements of the MOS have not been taken into account; where in the MDP is it mentioned that they will depart from the requirements below.





Note in this image the lines indicating 90m and 75m from runway centre line, this is where the gable markers are and from where the dodgy transitional surface commences. Note also the relocation of the perimeter fence and road.



Clearly the Essendon DFO is dodgy and I'll bet Carmody knows it.



And from Section 103 of the Airports Act:

(1)  If:

(a)  a building activity is carried out on an airport site; and

(b)  subsection (4) does not apply to the activity; and

©  either:

(i)  the activity was not authorised by an approval granted under the regulations; or

(ii)  if such an approval was granted in relation to the activity—a condition of the approval was contravened;

an authorised person may give another person a written direction requiring the other person:

(d)  to stop work on; or

(e)  to carry out remedial work on; or

(f)  to demolish, dismantle or remove;

the building, structure, earthworks, engineering works, electrical works or hydraulic works concerned.

P7 (butting in) - If that ain’t a Gold star, Tim-Tam post I don’t know what is. Bravo Mr. PB, round of applause to boot.
