Busselton Airport to be expanded to cater for 'Direct Interstate Flights'....

From this evening's news....Sat. 20th,

Direct interstate flights to WA's South West a game changer, Minister says - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

This should enhance the tourist value of the SW.
Most of the $$'s are from 'Royalties For Regions', with the remainder from the State Dept of Transport, and the Busselton Shire.....

Busselton Shire is putting in $3.5M, reportedly, so does that mean it is now fully supported locally, and 'some local residents' who complain about aircraft noise before / after 'certain times' will now be able to voice their concerns direct to the Shire, or will some 'curfew hours' be introduced...?

Cheers
