It has been brought up in some sense. Qantas have continually told us a 380 hangar is out of the question because it would cost $105m for one bay and $175m for two.

We got quotes to show they would be $27m and $33m respectively built at Avalon. I don't know but maybe Linfox have said they will build them and give Qf free leasing for 10 years.
Was that just a building and doors for that price? That seems rather cheap for a shed, docking, gear pits etc. I would suggest the qantas quote included those plus GSE, tooling, phones, computers and most of the stuff required to make a major maintenance check happen.
