Isn't it clever that the report on the best site for a second Sydney airport will be published immediately AFTER the forthcoming federal election.
This has been postponed until after the next election since at least Malcolm Fraser's time.
If the current rate of homebuilding around Badgery's Creek continues there'll be no option but to construct another runway at YSSY, unless the regional carriers (flying from marginal seats) can be forced out of their landing slots. There's no spacefor another North-South runway, so it will have to be an East-West runway parallel to the existing one. Both the Daparture and Approach procedures will be right over residential areas.
I'm glad I don't own a house near YSSY!
Block your ears folks !!!!
