If you look in ERSA, Point Cook is still classified as a military airfield.

I lived on base at Point Cook whilst on Officer Training - it's very sad they are moving OTS to Sale (where I also had the pleasure of living). In my mind they should have upgraded Point Cook, moved everything at Laverton to Point Cook and sold off Laverton. Then you have an operational base which is the oldest continuously operating military airfield in the world - and sold off the crap which is Laverton.

I'm pretty sure as per the arrangements with the national trust that the base can't be developed for 100 years, so it won't turn into more housing.

Why is it people complain when they buy a house next to an airport. If you buy a house next to a freeway, and it gets busier 30 years later, you can't complain.

Fark them I say.. If you buy a house.. if you find something wrong after settlement.. to bad..

If they BUILD an airfield after you've bought your house fair enough.. otherwise, you accept the risk when you buy.
