YBBN RWY14/32 Closure

Does somebody know what is really going on here?

RWY 14/32 has been NOTAM closed between 0000-0600 UTC each weekday for works, causing significant network delays for us.

Not being able to get a useful response from Airservices (National Operations Centre) I have been told through other sources that the works that are being done on 14/32 are the same as those being done on 01/19 at night, ie, VASI replacement.

Why on earth can the 14/32 works not be done at night also?

Why are the users copping the extra cost of this in Network delays and aircraft holding when it could be done at night the same time as 01/19?

Anyone in the know?

NOTAM refers:

RWY 14/32 AND ALL TAXIWAYS LEADING TO RWY 14/32 NOT AVBL DUE WIP
RWY 01/19 AVBL.
RWY 14/32 AVBL FOR DECLARED EMERG WITH 30MIN PN.
REF MOWP YBBN 2010/03 STAGE 1.
FROM 07 190001 TO 08 200600 EST
MON TO FRI 0001 - 0600
