Moorabbin 2021 Master Plan Thrown Out

[Mach1Muppet]

Good news seen via AOPA's Facebook page, Barnaby Joyce formally rejected the 2021 master plan, at least the users of Moorabbin can breathe, for now...

There is a God! Maybe not a B-J God but a higher authority.

It's sort of a bit late for Moorabbin don't you think? It's unrecognisable from when the master plan should have been thrown out.

I'd be happy with a B-J Goddess.

From the minister's website this morning:


Moorabbin Airport Master Plan approved

I have taken the decision to approve Moorabbin Airport’s next Master Plan following careful consideration and within the provisions available to me under the relevant legislation.

The new Master Plan will better protect the future of general aviation in Melbourne and set the future vision for one of Australia’s busiest airports.

I acknowledge that there have been stakeholder concerns with the master planning process relating to Moorabbin Airport, particularly around community engagement and general aviation planning processes. However, the plan resolves a number of stakeholder concerns raised with the previous draft and paves a strong path for growth.

This includes by setting flight training as a strategic driver of the airport’s development plan, with student numbers set to increase from the current 1,350 to 1,800 by 2041.

It tightens land use controls to protect the core aviation precinct, confirms the airside fence on the Western apron will not be moving, and highlights Moorabbin Airport Corporation’s commitment to act to minimise environmental impact in targeting net-zero by 2050.

The plan also forecasts strong employment growth that will make a real difference for the aviation sector and region, with the current 16,500 direct and indirect jobs set to grow to 23,100 by 2029.

This new Master Plan will provide the airport community the certainty it needs to plan and invest for the long term.

An aviation and economic pillar in Melbourne’s south-east, Moorabbin Airport is renowned for its flight training and supports a range of other aviation activities – from maintenance services to charter and recreational flights.

The airport’s new Master Plan sets out a 20-year strategic vision for the airport, canvassing critical areas such as future land uses, upcoming developments, noise impacts and environmental management.

The Government is developing an Aviation White Paper, expected to be released in the first half of 2024, and is welcoming feedback on a range of aviation issues, including airport planning. A Green Paper, which is the next step in the process, is expected to be released shortly.

I look forward to seeing Moorabbin Airport continue to play a pivotal role in Australian aviation and the economy by bringing in visitors, supporting employment and offering much-needed flight training and other air services.

Sounds like the same wank words we got from Albanese's ministry for Jandakot about 15 years ago, when they snuck back in a Master Plan that had been rejected by the tenants.

[thunderbird five]

16,500 jobs there now? They would be lucky to have 500?
Any mention of taking all the leased land back, demolishing warehouses and building hangars?

Sounds like the same wank words we got from Albanese's ministry for Jandakot about 15 years ago, when they snuck back in a Master Plan that had been rejected by the tenants.Yes - plenty of wank words in the recent Moorabbin announcement. When the Minister says this:

”I have taken the decision to approve Moorabbin Airport’s next Master Plan following careful consideration and within the provisions available to me under the relevant legislation.”

the Minister means:

”I have approved the Moorabbin Airport’s Master Plan.”

I could be wrong. Maybe one day a Minister will say:I have taken the decision to approve [X airport’s] next Master Plan with complete disregard to the relevant legislation and following a night on the piss with the airport operator.

[PiperCameron]

I could be wrong. Maybe one day a Minister will say:

You're hoping an Australian Politician would (a) do the right thing and (b) tell the truth?!?? We must not be living in the same country! :eek:

[jonkster]

You're hoping an Australian Labor Politician would (a) do the right thing and (b) tell the truth?!?? We must not be living in the same country! :eek:

corrected it for you

[PiperCameron]

corrected it for you

Fair point - but I've added "Australian" back in. Surely other countries aren't suffering from 'idiots in control' quite as badly as we are?? It almost makes me consider moving to NZ.. well actually.. oh, never mind. :ugh:

[Ascend Charlie]

Fair go, fellas, politicians are professional liars, and they do it well.

The only truthful polly was Barry Jones, the Pick-a-Box champion, who was Science Minister briefly - until he told the truth when asked a question. Sorry Baz, can't have that happening, away you go.

Often times these numbers are a bit embellished but you need to remember it isn't JUST the jobs directly related but those that are generated by it. Some of them have partners, those partners get a job there as well, they have children who go to school which means schools and their associated staff, add on services like Supermarkets, Leisure, Cafes, Restaurants etc...etc... and all the people that work at those places have partners and family that need those things as well and you can quickly see how the numbers start to go up.
