Sydney Airport to be built in the 'Shire

[Howard Hughes]

My idea is a second 07/25 at the Southern end of 16L/34R extending into the ports area. Additional port capacity can be built at Newcastle/Port Kembla.

Or for a total Greenfields airport, build it in the Royal National Park, four parralell runways oriented in the East/West direction!

After so many years it is so obvious to all that Badgery's Creek is the only answer

Then what do you do with the Training area for BK and CN? Might as well shut both of them down as well, majority of traffic at those airports are flight schools. Relocating training areas then becomes to big of a cost to run, forcing relocating into the hunter regions airports or closing the business, which then makes the airports unprofitable as all the hangars and building will be vacant and you destroy all of GA in Sydney.

Anyone have a copy of the concept plan for Taren Point Airport development that was suggested in the sixties & seventies???

What about turning the Kingsway at Miranda into a runway, that would save Sydney airports building another shopping center & they could use K Mart auto as the new worlds best practice MRO, for the whole south pacific region.

You realised if a PM is on this forum you have just put forward another idea

EDIT: REALISTIC IDEA I MIGHT ADD (To them anyway)

DA SHIRE new R46.

.......finally some rational,logical debate on Sydney's second airport.

Of course -the Shire is a no brainer ! Why?

1. Take the De-Sal plant ($2 billion)out of moth balls and convert into a "multi functional hub".

2. Lots of Av-Gas close by -saving on transport and pumping charges

3. Straight stretch of road-The Kingsway - easily convertible to accommodate A380's etc. Wooloware road could be used for synops (when the southerly is blowing)

4. Plenty of immigration officials available in Cronulla Mall. Needless to say it will assist with our "Border Protection"-issues.

5. Lara Bingle could be our Ambassador. "Where the bloody hell are ya?"

Yep- the Shire............GODS OWN

Is this why they're turning SIT into Miranda Fair?

Fill in Botany Bay and turn it into a giant airport. Screw the rare midget saltwater slime mould, or whatever is there now - the bay hasn't been 'natural' since the Tank Stream was last able to supply the entire colony with fresh water.

[MR WOBBLES]

keep it sensible Mr tin Miranda already has the infrastructure, filling in the bay is just silly
