How many sealed a/d's with no terminal?

Not very many, I would guess. Having flown over most of Oz, into mostly minor airports, pretty well a terminal (of some description) at all of them Well at least a loo!
How come the Illawarra (Wollongong) Regional Airport doesn't have one now.
The last one, together with the beloved Aviators Lounge, was burnt down quite a while ago, and, you guessed it, no terminal, and no loo's.
The grapevine tells me that the local govt mob are sitting on about $1.2 mill in insurance payouts, and to date, there appears to be no inclination to replace either.
Geez, if you read their master plan options, it would seem to be the worst plan of action they could undertake. Absolutely no incentive to go there now - not even for a "pit stop". Used to always be a couple of lighties parked in the bays with people flying in for lunch or etc..
Once again, GA cops it in the neck.
