Illawarra & Shoalhaven same same...
Gutless pollies and nimby's have stuffed Albion Park, we have the same commute to SYD as our central coast cousins. An air taxi would be perfect in an ideal world... nah, I'm dreamin.

sadly its only one Nimby at YWOL. who decided to live right under the approach to runway 26, after moving from next to YSBK. she generates 99.9% of all complaints about YWOL.

truthinbeer, I suggest you ring the guys at YWVA and see what they have to say about Wyong Council, their plans, and the suitability of the site...you might be surprised to hear 'the other side'.

I rode past there today Creepy and it did cross my mind to wonder if council had consulted anyone before deciding this was a plan. I am not an airport engineer so can't comment. I thought that Mirvac (? owners of YWVA) had plans to close YWVA around 2021 or thereabouts, to convert it into industrial estate. No point making enquiries at YWVA as I seem to recall I never got a response a couple of years back when I emailed about hangarage.

The council have basically indicated to Warnervale Aero Club & Warnervale Air that they will have to find a new site themselves, most likely within five years.
I wrote a much longer post which was basically a diatribe against the Council but I have deleted it, I think that some things are better left unsaid.
There is definitely hangarage available, best to call or pop in there (ask for Andy Smith) or try emailing them again at flywva at yahoo dot com.
