Goulburn threat to airport plan - Local News - News - General - The Canberra Times (http://www.canberratimes.com.au/news/local/news/general/goulburn-threat-to-airport-plan/1399080.aspx)
It would seem after many years the Local Councils aim of ridding themselves of an expensive money pit has finally borne fruit. Could these plans assist Sydney residents wishing to commence/continue their flying training there and will it ever actually have a tower?
Wonder what the effect of this will do to the owners of Canberra business park (and occasional airport) and their grand plans for their business.
I have completed a lot of my training at Goulburn and whilst i enjoy the freedom of operating there it is badly run down and require some TLC that Council are unwilling to provide or the sad fact is development comes at a cost to the private user, still, should be good for all parties concerned (actually i should say "lets see what the user fees are like first" before commenting) from what little information i have.
