Facilities in YPPH

Dear All,

Just a quick couple of questions regarding YPPH, can anyone explain why;

1) Still no CAT 2 / CAT 3 capability

2) Why RWY 06/24 isn't at least 2500m so it could be used by heavies without drastic payload restrictions

3) YPEA cannot be used as a Destination Alternate but YPLM can? Despite both being military airfields

4) Why there are no stop bar lights at Runway holding points?

5) Given the volume of growth there is no separate 2nd runway?

6) I could be wrong but from memory no alternating red/white lights for the last part of the runway.

If anyone in the know can fill me in it'd be much appreciated, they are common questions my colleagues ask when we fly here, and being a local they are surprised when my only response is "that's just how it's done in Perth"

Cheers
