The 'third' airport for Melbourne, to the SE of the metropolitan area, places it in the Koo Wee Rup and Lang Lang region. It was actually planned about twenty five years ago but then dropped. An ideal area as it is so flat but will be subject to fog at certain times, so Cat 3 is essential as a starter.
My problem is that our rifle club is at Lang Lang, has great history, goes back at least 110 years, has Permissive Occupancy in Perpetuity, from the Commonwealth, subject to there being an active rifle club on site, it has been continuously active since 1923, resurrected after the First World War, so if they try to close that down there will be blood all over the floor.
But the deal could be that they have to build us a brand new range of equal facility!
