Awesome news, seam it will be a base for skydiving ops and adventure flights to start with! but rumours are of the construction of a restaurant as well, which will be great, i miss the $100 meals at YWOL.

I miss the Twotters though...
...well if they're smart (and I think Mr Hall might be), they will involve the local community as much as possible to give them a sense of 'ownership' and it being 'their' airport of which they can be proud. The new owners should play the PR game beautifully and concentrate of the short and long term employment gains that will rest plus focus on the numbers of tourists (and thus $) that the re-commenced (not new) airport will bring in. That way you nip the naysayers in the bud. I suspect the tide has turned a bit against the anti-airport brigade, as demonstrated by the lack of opposition to the now announced Badgery's Creek.
Does anyone know why Mirvac sold the land rather than develop it? (Or even sit on it as a land bank.)
True, RENURPP.
But developers buy industrial land all the time and have councils rezone it for housing. Mirvac's a long established developer, so I wonder what happened in this case?

These images were the vision of "Eastern Lakes Airport" back in the 1950's. It will be interesting to see the vision of the 2014-------'s

The way I heard it, they ran into all sorts of environmental limitation, and it was not the local council.
Let us sincerely hope that Matt Hall and his mates have done a thorough homework job.
Looks like we lose Warnervale.
Tootle pip!!

Leadsled,
spoke at length with Wyong council a few months ago. They are planning 2700 metres with Boing and Bus pavement strength. Have been recruiting project managers and engineers as a lead upto changing the local environment plan.
