Munday Swamp heritage site is the answer. Environmental and heritage studies and other blah have reduced the proposed parallel from 3800m to 3000m and no doubt delayed everything by a thousand years.

"The need for a second parallel runway at Perth Airport was first identified in 1973 and has been included in Perth Airport Master Plans dating back to the 1980s."

Approval granted for Perth's New Runway
