Maybe once, perhaps. The structure that is currently there has line of sight issues with the Runway Thresholds which would prevent it from being used where it currently stands.
CASA provides the guidance as to when a Tower should be established, unfortunately MNG would be well below it.
Of note, it is not Airservices, but CASA (previously OAR) that provides direction about airspace classifications etc, in conjunction with your local RAPAC. If you want to influence change, that's who you should be talking to.
