firstable BAL charging for parking is a joke apparently we have to pay everytime we park the cars next to our maintenance hangar along tower road, im just waiting for BAL to do that and they will see war!!!!!!.
Second if you are a private owner and want free parking outside in the paddock just pretend its in for maintenance and cover both the rego on the tail or under the wing with paper either newspaper or sticky tape.

Tower road
The bloke that passes for a manager of BAL, and in particular the Tower Road fiasco was, the week before last, asked (in public) when he was going to reopen Tower Road. With absolute, and typical arrogant disregard for the questioner, and anybody else, the reply was "Quote -"When I am good and ready, and not before." End of quote. If he spoke to someone like that in a pub, he would have had his lights put out. Come to think of it .............

Bankstown Operators Wake Up
Really - The scenario might well be thus -
"Dear Minister,
Although the requirement is to operate and maintain Bankstown Airport as an Aviation facility, there are now insufficient Aviation businesses on the Airport to continue to justify maintaining this facility as an Airport. We, the owners, would request that any caveat over the facility requiring the continuance of that facility, as an aviation based facility, be removed, and thus allow us (the owners) to redevelop the facility as a business park."
Note:-
The closure of Tower Road, allegedly permanently, must give some indication of the intentions of the owners. ie Stuff the aviation operators, we, the owners will make the rules. Too bad that most of the tenants can't afford the rent increases!!!!

The viewing area at Tower Rd where folks take their kids to already has NO STOPPING signs all over the shop, although I've yet to hear of anyone being told to move on or worse still, fined.
Looks like the KFC carpark is going to get abit full!

I think it must be said that in the minds of the government and vast majority of Australian population aviation is no longer the essential service to the community it once was.
Definitely true for GA, I'd say.

I think sooner or later there's gonna be some sort of actions taken by all of us or those who are affected in a way or two at least.....
BAL just need to wake the up!!! They're gonna kill YSBK and possibly the industry~~~

If BK doesn't go to RPT and freight only it will close down. That will most likely be the ultimatum to the government by BAL-let us do this or we have no other option. All the rest will go to Goulburn or somewhere else or disappear. It is clear that there is no room for an airport like BK in Sydney without RPT to make REAL money for MacBank.
Just my hypothesis, only 'cause I can 'cause it's PPRUNE after all
sc
btw BAL are VERY awake, make no mistake...

BAL is owned by:
JF Infrastructure, Colonial First State and Westscheme, as far as I care to search.
JF Infrastructure is
50% Leighton
50% Mirvac
Colonial First State is indeed CommBank, it seems MacBank sold all their airport stock off to CommBank since last time I looked
Westscheme is a superannuation fund
An interesting article on how CFS views airports:
Money management
All of the above want to make money out of it. One way or another. None I am sure care about GA. Whatever will make more money. At the end of the day, they all ARE property developers.

This is getting worse by the day... the following is from the April 2010 Metroflyer newsletter (accessible from the BAL website). The word is at Eddy's that this is going to happen as of 01 July 2010. What little that is left of YSBK will now surely commence to completely disappear...on another note, I saw just ONE aircraft (a C206) parked on the grass near where Aerospace used to be today....just ONE.
This whole arrangement is nothing short of disgusting and seems to fly in complete contrast and conflict to what is purported in their supposed "Master plan 2010". KimWestt is right. In fact you're all correct. It's a disgrace.
Parking at Sydney Metro Airport Bankstown
Bankstown Airport Limited will be introducing parking controls on Sydney Metro Airport Bankstown from mid 2010 onwards.
These controls will provide areas for staff and visitor parking and ensure that emergency access ways are free from parked cars. Part of these parking controls will be the introduction of Pay for Parking, requiring all users of the Airport to either purchase a parking permit or pay for casual parking.
The initial roll out of ’pay for parking’ will occur on the northern side of the airport prior to extending airport wide and is expected to be in place later in 2010.
Over the next few months we will be talking to tenants and airport users about their parking requirements and the proposed parking changes on our Airport.

I do not know but this may be symptomatic of a deeper problem with BAL. When a business is about to go under there is usually a period of increased activity to acheive a cash flow by whatever means. BAL will have lost the rent from Boeing as they move out and that will be a considerable sum.
As this is a rumour website, it would appear Mr Ellis is retiring soon and he is the designer of many of the BAL initiatives to extort monies from the tennants.
Recently there was the debacle of the school to be built at the airport and there have been a series of silliness over the past years with modified "Masterplans" and other such things.
Next we may wait for receivers to be "in discussion"!!!

The Gold Coast Meter Maids have just had their services terminated. Perhaps if they did the rounds at Bankstown Airport the airport the impact of the charges would be 'less painful' ?
