There you have it people get behind this one and support CCAC and Warnervale air field.

 

Organize you weekend there now so you don't miss out. :drums:

Just a question David and CCAC may have already addressed it.

 

Is there potential for the rezoning to be changed back to what it should be? After all its current proven use IS still "Special use - Aerodrome" so rezoning is inappropiate.

 

Not an expert by any means but

 

I have seen similar things happen to rural land being rezoned to rural residential or worse, to increase council revenue, but by proving it is still under primary production the zoning is normally reverted back to rural without any problem. The councils seem to work on the principle of change it first and wait for the flack - if none happens they win rightly or wrongly???

 

 

 

Good to hear the rumours are now buried, and microlights are welcome. We have enough battles at hand without fighting amongst ourselves.

 

 

 

So, can you also enlighten us to landing fees and join club fees / avoid daily landing fees viability??

 

Surely more members would help the cause, maybe a low cost occasional member status could be made available?. :-)

Thanks David

 

I had heard ( rumour ) that they were much higher than that. dispelled another

 

As I pointed out in another thread and just a rambling thought anyway.

 

Maybe the number of airfield reductions is a major safety issue, especially with an RPT in distress as they then have a long way to the next safe out landing location?

 

Oh I forgot - we have the safest airlines in the world.

 

Maybe CASA / RAA etc should be lobbying the government for more to stay open and over-ride greedy councils in the name of safety for the general community?

 

About how you do the risk assessment I suppose.

While Warnervale and Pelican are in direct threat and need urgent help, I see it as a National issue that effects all ( well most anyway) here.

 

It's a general image problem that needs correcting. The media are only too happy to promote the negative image and we as a flying community don't seem to counteract that much.

Is it too rude to ask why the event was cancelled? What exactly were the issues with Wyong Council? I think it would be terrible if this cancellation was the 'beginning of the end' - the idea of the fly-in is a show of strength and to rally support from the community. Can you approach RA-Aus to get some action going - they really need to stand up for members and intervene in these things (talk with council representatives) to protect our interests.

Just a quick thing:

 

The links don't seem to work.
