I will try again, as a supplement to NOTAMs and to hopefully avoid what NN referred to (as there were numerous aircrew who on day one didn't seem to know about the importance of being able to accept the RNAV approach).
Works on the RWY 16R ILS commence on 18-February, 2013.
Be advised that when instrument approaches are required for RWY 16R then the
RNAV-Z (GNSS) will be the default, a VOR approach to RWY 16R or (for suitable aircraft) an ILS approach to RWY 16L would be the other option.
Depending on the weather conditions and cloud base, delays to inbound traffic may occur due to a 50% increase in the separation standards that apply to parallel runway operations when both ILS aren't available, that is, 3nm between traffic on the adjacent runway (rather than 2nm). Arrival rates will be adjusted to reflect this reduced capacity.

Yeah you'll be looking at 30+ mins during peak hour. I remember when works were on 34R a few years ago and some heavy rain during the early morning peak caused mayhem. Guys couldn't get visual off the RNAV, Indefinite holding, single runway ops, diversions everywhere,
