I have "heard" that far from contemplating leaving, the RAAF has laid acres more of concrete and built a new Control tower at Darwin - this does not sound like an organisation about to build a new base. It's more likely that the US marines will build such a base as the tempo of their pivot to Asia increases.
A few months back they announced a 100 million upgrade so they can support P-8's (AIR 7000 Phase 2B) Cant see them leaving darwin anytime soon
