Clare,
what happened at Jandakot is a national disgrace, has anyone looked at what political "donations" where made by the developers?
The thing is, with these very cashed up development sharks chomping great chunks out of the airports, if by some miracle the government decides the country actually needs an aviation industry, gets CAsA and all the other parasites under control and the industry has a renaissance and starts to grow, the land that was there for that growth aint there.
I could be wrong, but its been suggested that land that could have been used for a second runway at Perth is now covered with industrial parks which leaves the government a dilemma, massive costs to resume land for growth, or leave the industry stunted and shackled from lack of space.
Someone, somewhere had very little foresight. Short term $$$ for long term grief. Ahh, directorships, farms in NZ, political donations super topups, all tend to blind foresight.
