..... and we're leaving aside the entire question of the usefulness of aviation to the region. There seems to be an assumption that nobody in GA uses their aircraft (or leased/hired aircraft) to GO anywhere.
Gosford / Wyong / Lake Macquarie region, ie the 'Central Coast' must be approaching a population of 500000, and effectively has NO airport. This must surely be a brake on development and successful conduct of business. Someone wanting to leave home in the middle of this region (The Entrance, let's say), to attend to their business in Brisvegas or Melbourne, faces a 2 hour drive IN IDEAL CIRCUMSTANCES (and more likely a 3 hour drive to KSA) before they even check their bags in.
Half a friggin million people effectively without access to air travel.
OK I've vented me spleen - normal programming resumes
