" $121.80 for "Refuelling on Council Land". NFI how they manage
that one, but its' in CCC's schedule of fees and charges.
On this, I completely agree with you. I did my last AFR with the CCAC and apart from being shocked at how poorly the C150 performs compared to the RV, had nothing
but pleasant interactions with all their staff.
In the Gold Coast Airport
Conditions of Use document, chapter 14. And its' for aircraft under 10,000kg, and if you are "a user" of the GC airport. Or Townsville, Mount Isa or Longreach too, apparently.
EDIT: I see LB has replied while I was typing this, but used $25M, that was the "old" rate from Jan 2020. The "New rate" from Jan 2022 is indeed,
$35M USD.
Yeah the Council, pre-administration, had really lost the plot. Whilst that refuelling fee is in their schedule, in practical terms anyone filling up with Avgas from the bowser at Warnervale is filling on Club owned land so the charge doesn't apply.
That insurance requirement at YBCG is outrageous. Nearly certain when I've flown in there that the ACFT have not have that level of insurance, and the requirement doesn't appear in ERSA or on the fees and charges section of their website - how absurd that it is buried in chapter 14 of a ridiculous Conditions of Use document.
