Government Approves Master Plan
 The long awaited
'Master Plan' on the future direction of Archerfield has now been
approved by the Federal Government with a copy available for viewing at the airport management building on the airfield
It is in "draft" format at the moment however it is expected that a 'hard copy' version will be published and made available to the public in about 4 weeks along with a CD version now under
consideration by management
For aviators there are no major changes to the airfield in the near future or in the medium to long term future for that matter
Perusal of the draft document by the News Desk shows that there are various options suggested with most 'open' for discussion
|
One such 'consideration' is the 04/22 runway complex that involves three options - two out of the three drafts indicated the 04 runway threshold would be repositioned and the last option
was to 'reposition' a complete new runway further to the south-west along the present 04/22 direction - the options are:-
Reposition the 04L and 04R threshold further north east to allow taxi access for aircraft operating on the 10/28 runways Removing 04L/22R system completely and repositioning the 04R threshold on the remaining 04R/22L further north as in above Remove both of the current 04/22 grass runways and replace them with one sealed runway overlaying the 10/28 complex which also involves transposing this complete new system further to the south-west
