The cost a couple of years ago was estimated to be between 2 and 3 billion. With inflation who knows what that figure is now. One of the big issues is that much of the land needs raising by up to 18m while at the same time the former unregulated council tip that the park sits on needs digging out also to a maximum depth of 18m.
The work will be in three phases spread over 20 years. The council has the idea that a concessionaire will fund the build, pay off £550m of LRT debts and pay a dividend per passenger before handing the airport back to the Council.
I also can’t find the document that shows the airport in each phase. Anyone got the name of the document or its number and which section it is in.
