ASIC. Luxury! I still think Gold Coast airport must take the global prize for most bureaucratic place in the world to fly GA. Being from the border zone, at the moment i need to be able to present:

1. ASIC Card. Every 2 years.
2. AUA License to drive airside. Apply every 2 years.
3. ADA license...license for the vehicle to operate airside which is limited to just the GA hangars adjacent to a boundary gate. Apply every 2 years,
4. Vaccination certificate.
5. Entry pass into QLD.
6. License.
7.Rego.

The last 2 items nobody seems to worry about The other day when I pulled my aircraft from the hangar to give it a wash, the Federal Police showed up (no issue), the QLD state police showed up..no issue as not going anywhere, and the airport security people showed up to check items 2 and 3 above. Although polite, it felt that any of these people were looking for an excuse to ping me for something. All i needed was CASA there too and i could have had the regulatory jackpot. It is an insane place to operate from.
