If you extended the runway to the southwest then the high ground at Bridgewater Drive becomes an obstacle, but because the runway is non- standard width it doesn't matter if you put down 3000metres its usable length would remain the same, and it would still be limited to aircraft up to about B757 size. It would be very difficult to widen the runway because of buildings that would then be brought within the strip width.
