Don't worry, CASA will just construct a 'safety case' and issue a waiver as everyone know's that the horse has well and truly bolted on this one.

Money talks - and the greed, back slapping and dodgy deals that allowed an aerodrome to be converted into a commercial retail district would make a great article.
From the RAPAC minutes, it looks like it was compliant until 2014 when the rules changed. Would you suggest knocking down the DFO or moving the airport?

It would have been better if the AFAP had also published CASA's response to the issue. In other words, the whole thing appears to be a non-issue, although CASA could make the text in ERSA a little clearer: "bl@@dy big buildings just inside the RWS on southern side" as opposed to myriad obstacle notes (one of which has got a bearing digit missing).
