Hah! I was about to post the same question, having had to go round, just this morning.
Apparently, it's been closed since Christmas.
I, too, would appreciate any information, as it's a long way round to the coffee shop.
Thanks heaps,
GWAS

if you ask me i think they may be extending the runway, under their contract with the council, any construction work under 15 million does not require approval by council!!!
i think the bankstown aerodrome operators are up to something..

Possibly for a rwy extension... 
Another possibility is to stop the amount of non aviation related traffic using the road as a short cut/bypass for Henry Lawson Drive during peak hour. Add a few hoons that treat it like a race track and BAL said enough is enough!
As a private road the RTA provides no funding for it's maintenance either.
My bet is it will not reopen

Ok, maybe not a racetrack, but I've heard first hand that BAL was nervous about the blind corners at Sydney Skydivers and near the Control Tower. There have been a few close calls!
Now that the road is closed the number of people using Tower Rd on the Southern side has drastically reduced.
