Buzzbox,

I cant speak for Lead Slead but here is my go at how the airspace around Williamtown could work out. This is based largely on the recommendations in the CASA/RAAF report

Google maps link:

Key Features:
  • Stepped rings of Class C have been adopted around Williamtown. Inner ring is 8nm and surface. Next is 12nm and 1000 feet, Outer ring is 20nm and has a class c base of 2000feet. Recommendations 1,13 and 16.
  • The Low flying area has been converted to a large danger following a risk assessment. Recommendation 9.
  • A coastal VFR route which would allow an aircraft to fly at 1000 feet up the coast with a clearance through the Class C airspace. Recommendation 23 Alternatively an aircraft could go ~3nm off shore at 1000 feet to stay outside the class C.
  • The large restricted areas for military flying are retained but are divided in logical was so that they can be released effectively when not in use.

What do you think?
