God forbid you'd build an airport with CAT IIIB/C ILS capability to deal with fog.
Agreed...I'd like to think that any new airport would have that capability.

However, whilst you will more than likely be able to land off a Cat III, you still need to carry the alternate fuel. That's a lot of extra gas every year to carry Melbourne or Brisbane as an alternate. (assuming Sydney KSA is not available).
