No problem with landing at Avalon. It's just expensive. We do it every so often.

Nothing up in the air now, the hangar construction at BHA has started.

In relation to the NEW AIRPORT the whisper is, the Golden plains Shire, G21 and the Gelong Airport are having discussions with Lethbridge.

Nup not so quiet I hear you can't even walk around the office area without a certain nutcase attacking with his quad bike. I believe that said nutter after being relieved of his weapon and following a slight altercation went off to lay charges of assault.

Any further info?

Just read the post, is an out of control (and getting worse) person now using a vehicle to sustain an assault ? Hope this alleged person gets the treatment he needs!!

The rumour is that the coward has left town.

I also believe there are a lot of unhappy campers waiting for his return.

I would not like to be in the cowards shoes, he can’t run and hide forever.

I read a VCAT decision at the weekend that approved all the hangars you refer to in your first post

I bet that fires up the green-eyed dragon.

Barwon Heads airport battle lost
Jessica Craven
08Jul08
THE state's peak planning tribunal has thrown out Skydive City boss Luke McWilliam's bid to stop the expansion of Barwon Heads airport.
The City of Greater Geelong allowed a permit for the construction of five hangars and associated carparking earlier this year but Mr McWilliam opposed the application on the grounds there was no master plan for the expansion of the airport.
Mr McWilliam was banned from using the airport landing strips last May, forcing him to use an illegal airstrip on his property or on another private runway.
The council is currently mounting a legal challenge on the grounds the illegal airstrip was built without council approval.
Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal member Phillip Martin said the construction of the hangars was important in terms of the long-term growth of the airport.
"It is very clear that there is an unhappy history of relations between Mr McWilliam and the owner/operators of the appeal site," he said.
Mr Martin said it would be an excessive situation if the tribunal was to refuse the proposal due to the absence of a master plan.
"This is reinforced by the fact that there have been so many planning permits already granted for development on the airport," he said.
He said he did not agree with Mr McWilliam's argument that the hangars would be out of character with the neighbouring area.
"I am not convinced that there would be any unreasonable amenity impacts on Mr McWilliam's own property, or on any other neighbouring property," he said.
"If one chooses to live near this type of airport, I consider that it goes with the territory that one has to expect that there will be reasonably large hangar structures that will be quite visually prominent."
Mr Martin affirmed the decision to grant a permit subject to several conditions.

What a shame the hangars are happening and you are not there to see it.

But there again you could use some of the cash you fleeced of the people who bought jump vouchers from Skydive City to finance a trip back and take a peek.

You know, the vouchers you sold when you didn’t have an Aircraft, an Airfield to take off from or a Drop Zone.

Remember, they are the people ringing up requesting their money back, thats right the same ones that have Consumer Affairs Victoria chasing you.
