BNE ATC Holding

Does anyone know what is going on in BNE recently? Seems if the weather requires Instrument approaches you get a ridiculous amount of holding. In the last week there was unforcast low viz (1500m) but everyone was getting in ok, 58mins holding, 2 nights ago at 9.30pm with normal showery weather 25mins holding, tonight with no weather requirements (There were some TCU around a couple hours earlier but nothing too bad) 48 mins holding arriving 8.30pm. Is there something going on industrially with ATC? Even in the wet when there was Instrument approaches all day and night long there was rarely more than 15mins hold usually only a 5-10 min delay.
