Hey,
Just looking at the new infrastructure plan 2008-2026 at
http://www.dip.qld.gov.au/resources/plan/SEQIPP/SEQIPP_full_document.pdf


• General Aviation Strategy
The first stage of this study has looked at
the general aviation needs of the region.
Stage 2, commencing in 2008, will look
at the aviation needs of the Sunshine
Coast in particular, including a strategy
for relocation of services from the existing
Caloundra and Caboolture aerodromes to a
new facility. - P.43
industry sector studies and projects
including Smart State industry sectors such
as aviation and marine. One major aviation
project underway is the replacement
aerodrome study for Caloundra and
Caboolture aerodromes. Current studies
are investigating marine industry activities
and marine infrastructure P.53

Could be good news for those people who are concerned about possible birdstrikes and kangaroos sitting on runways at Caboolture.
Not sure about the opinions of those from Caloundra, but as far as I see it they are looking to 'merge' Caloundra and Caboolture into something (hopefully!?) Better.

This could possibly increase travel time for Brisbanites, if they are thinking of making a new facility up north?

Not my place to make decisions (at least, not yet!), I'll leave that to you, Premier Bligh.

Not much info there, just mentioning they are going to 'look at it'.

Cheers

Maybe this belongs in Reporting Points...
