Guest Sabre Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Hi All, I'm just doing some planning at the moment for when I get my aircraft and was wondering if there is any hangar space availble to rent at Jacobs Well Redcliffe or any private fields around the greater Brisbane area.

Guest Sabre Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 That's it no one replied...I'm going to go out and buy some land and put a dozen hangars on it and charge what I want..lol...just kidding don't have half a million Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barefootpilot Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Watts bridge usually has some hangar space (Ask Tony Hayes aka TOSG on here) Caboolture may be another option although its usually pretty full and $$$. Adam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sabre Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Thanks Adam...I'll chase that up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Crezzi Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Good Luck if you try Caboolture - the club house notice board has the usual (large) number of "Hanger Wanted" ads & there is an increasing number of GA parked on the grass Sorry !

Guest Jokerman Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Kilcoy strip are having a development plan done and plan to build some new hangars there in the near future. If u are interested I'll get a contact number for u. Good luck in your search. Gordon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sabre Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Thanks Gordon, I'm hoping for something closer to Brisbane....but thanks for the info. If nothing eventuates here then I'll have to go further out. I'll post any info I find here in case it helps someone else in the same position.

Guest Jokerman Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 No wuckers Sabre. Having been looking at the same situation for the last 12 months, I suspect we are going to be forced to go further afield. Caboolture's agreement expires in 2018 and there is no guarantee it will be renewed and the way the development is happening there for the last few years... Things don't look good.

Guest Sabre Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Not another airfield up in the air..damn....I'll post my results up as soon as I find something if there is more than one space available..lol.....I did see an ad for Recliffe . They were asking for a long term lease but I reckon it would be expensive. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jokerman Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Yep I think u can guarantee that Redcliffe will be dearer than Caboolture. Crezzi, Is your trike going to be involved with ProSky at Caboolture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Crezzi Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Yes -I'm putting my trike online with Prosky and working for Zane as weightshift instructor. Cheers John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sabre Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 Hey Jokerman...you better PM me with the details for Kilcoy,,,you never know I might have to go there and I guess it's better to be in at the begining of the development. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazza 38 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I would love to build hangars on the gold coast or Nth NSW. I think they would be Bought or rented even before construction even started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetiredRacer Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 We have just signed the deal on a hanger/chalet block at Watts Bridge, And will soon be building a hanger/chalet there. We plan on renting out some of the hanger area. Email me at [email protected] If you are not able to do any good closer to home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ledsled Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 It would be worth checking out Kooralbyn, near Beaudesert.I operated Drifters there for 25 years.Try 0417624861. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazza 38 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 hello ledsled, my parents live at kooralbyn, i am flying at boonah today, i will pop over ans see them. i will check out whats happening at the airfield.There is a bit of confusion of what is happening their since the resort their went broke last year. But their was a savannah, drifter and jabiru flying their two weeks ago. i will see whats going on their. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazda Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Sabre have you considered Dunwich? Dazza let me know what they say about Kooralbyn, the QLD airstrip guide says it is emergency use only and poorly maintained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shags_j Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 So what would be the process to get a new airstrip made???? There is a real gap in airstrips for RA pilots in brisbane. Basically it's either north of brisbane or the next one south is jacobs well. I think a strip somewhere in the redlands or logan would be great. All we need to do is get the council to build one... No probs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HEON Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I went through this a couple of years ago when living in Brisbane without a PPL. My requirements were cost, and that it would still be avaliable and affordable in 20 years. I ended up at Warwick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tangocharlie123 Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Shags J Good luck on logan the council doe'snt like planes, I have thought about this for a while it's finding a rifle block some where. I belive the costs could be as high as 70k, good luck if you build one let me know. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazza 38 Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 hello Mazda, the place was deserted saturday before last, things are a bit, up in the air at the moment since koralbyn resort went belly up last year. i have been told by a couple of different people (names withheld to protect the innocent) that a gentlemen has leased the airfield and is going to bring it up to scratch. It is a bit run down at the moment. ie- weeds growing through the tarmac etc. Caution though , i flew drifters their 20 odd years ago, from memory their can be a fair bit of wind sheer/turbulance on late finals due to the airfield being cut into the side of a couple of hills. i will keep you posted when i find out some more information.

Guest ledsled Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I conducted some training there about a month ago.There are around 7 aircraft permanently hangared there at the moment. The bitumen has been in poor condition for about 10 years but RAAus aircraft have always used the grass on the southern side. It is 1400 m long. You can do about half a dozen take offs and landings there. The comment about windshear is correct. You need to properly trained to fly there in strong winds for sure. The hangar owner knows the drill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunlopdangler Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Whatever happened to Thomasfield near Logan Reserve? Ian Thomas had a few hangars on his property with two 800metre (plus) strips. (one later shut down and then had one operational) he had a Grumman Cheetah and it was home to a couple of others and the odd cessna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cloudsuck Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 It is still there Dunlop, I fly over there a bit. One of the owners called into Boonah a week ago in a 177. The strip is strictly private use only. Geeeee I would love to own that property. I have landed a 152 in there once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tangocharlie123 Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 I wonder what it would take to own it. a very large handful of cash :thumb_up: but then would the council still allow it to be used as a private strip if sold.. hey not even 20 mins from home who could ask for more. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
