The real estate agents tell all prospective purchasers of houses around Point Cook that the airfield "is going to be closed down in a year or so".
The property developers would love to get their hands on the base.
To me, Point Cook looks like the perfect place to build a GA industry cluster, with schools, clubs, maintenance and overhaul businesses and restoration businesses all clustered around a reinvigorated RAAF Museum.
Will it happen? I know how to do it, but I don't think the political will is there. Too much money in property development.
