The Sunshine Coast Airport's proposed new runway has attracted about 900 submissions after its environmental impact statement (EIS) was released earlier this year.

 

Submissions to the Queensland Coordinator-General closed on November 13 and a spokeswoman for Deputy Premier Jeff Seeney confirmed 900 EIS submissions had been received.

 

Sunshine Coast Airport general manager Peter Pallot said he hoped the project would be approved in mid-2015 so work could begin in 2016.

 

He expected the first flights on the new east-west oriented runway, which would cross the existing north-south runway, to be operational by 2020.

 

While the Sunshine Coast's proposed 2.45-kilometre runway was shorter than the newly opened 2.87-kilometre Brisbane West Wellcamp runway near Toowoomba, it still increased capacity and opened up potential new markets.

I find it strange that any news story about aerodromes these days has some comment about Wellcamp or a quote by Wagner. Recent story about Customs delays in Perth and yet Wagner's quoted on processing international passenger arrivals...really.
