Unfortunately Archerfield operators are struggling to survive with the enormously increased costs of remaining on the airport. I personally know of the Scout Association's rent going from approx $7,500 per annum pre privatisation to over $50,000 post. This rent is for land only as the Scouts provided all buildings and connected all services themselves.
Well, that was last year as the airport owner has not renewed the 25 year lease therefore the not for profit Scout association has to abandon their $400,000+ premises and walk away empty handed. Yes, please don't blame the operators for their high prices, they are merely passing on the greed brought about by the Coalitions abortion of an attempt at privatisation.
