Perhaps there is a systemic issue as I believe that a reduced runway length notification is required for landing aircraft with the landing clearance as issued by the Tower controller (aside from ATIS being notified to Approach) e.g. "REDUCED RUNWAY LENGTH IN OPERATION, LAST AVAILABLE EXIT TAXIWAY XX) whereas for a departure there is no requirements to notify "REDUCED RUNWAY LENGTH IN OPERATION" with the take-off clearance.
Pretty easy to standardise across all Towers (Civil and RAAF) to cater for all combinations of reduced runway length including where there is a displaced threshold for arrivals (kcboy I feel your pain).
