Why would a NVMC flight require a clearance from Sydney to fly south of Willy?

I know this was before I introduced a number of airspace changes in 1991 but surely controlled airspace north of Sydney was not that huge.

The military were clearly involved in this problem because then - as today pilots were/are prohibited from planning over Willy. I have never blamed the military ATCs - just out of date rules they are forced to use. And why the almost constant delays for VFR aircraft through Willy these days? Do you blame AsAfor these?

Should be class D airspace! But never ever change anything! Concrete must remain set in the RAAF.!
