Agreed. The problem is that Airservices Australia have stated that they will not be building physical Towers. You have previously stated that bandwidth is a major limiting factor.
Invest in a portable Tower and operate a Class D. For Ballina to safely cope with additional traffic then extra infrastructure is required - additional taxiways for starters.
