Then the councils allow land to be developed right up to the boundary. Then the noise complaints begin. Same as every airport in Oz.
Sorry, but places like Keilor were built up based on a certain runway configuration, per the signage that was on every boundary line for years. It's why people abandoned Gladstone Park initially and went to Keilor instead although eventually the land at GP was sold (there were half built houses and sales of land for years after though). Now the owners of the airport have allowed multiple businesses to build infrastructure where the runways were supposed to be so have changed the configuration. People in places like Keilor DID make an informed choice based on one assured way of expansion and it has changed.
