That story is all over the place. How is Ambulance Victoria and other emergency services obtaining "permission to land using the instrument flight approach"?

Does anyone know what would need to be done for it to retain certification?
Apply to CASA and grandfather the existing infrastructure.
"Grandfathering provisions applied to existing facilities, including Mallacoota Airport, so smaller aerodromes did not need costly work to meet the new standards," CASA said.

"No infrastructure changes were required as part of the transition process."
The council didn't do anything. They worked out how much it might cost, sh*t themselves, and didn't look at options.
