Ballarat Airport Upgrade

Billy Shorten is promising a $14 million upgrade to Ballarat airport including extending runways to cater for large commercial aircraft, if Labor wins the federal election.

Details are on www.thebull.com.au webpage.

Ballarat Upgrade

Any time a rural or regional can extract a few bob for an upgrade it' s a good thing. Maintaining an airport is one thing, improving one is a whole other bucket of $$$. Especially for a council. Great to see.

Yes, the money's coming from your franking credits.

58nm from Tulla, 45nm from AV? Large commercial aircraft? Shifty's right.

Must be a marginal seat??
A few pig farms there, I think...

$14 mil pfffft.
Nothing compared to the obscene spend fest that occurred at Busselton. Even that though wasn't enough to save the chair sniffer Buswell and still not an RPT service in sight.

Runway extension has already begun with clearing land to the southern end. Nothing new to see here Shifty. I hope they smooth the bumps out in the current runway as well!
I love how politicians promise things that have nothing to do with them and make it seem that they are heros for it.
