Australia seems to have been rather keenly aware of runway requirements, especially length, for quite some time.

Many years ago when I was flying 707's to Australian destinations, we received updated runway performance charts that reduced the available runway distance by the amount of length it took to line up from a 90 degree intersection....150 feet.

Considering that we were nearly always rotating close to the far end, a very worthwhile exercise, IMO.
