The reason given was that the 11/29 location infringed upon a newly created NATIONAL PARK. The above picture shows just how much of this Valuable Park would be affected. According to the Report, a Frog, a Rat, a Mouse and a Lizard live in THIS Area. Sounds like a tale from "The Wind in the Willows", and it would be funny if it wasn't so SAD . This is the SAME area that caught fire back in December 1991. It's nothing but a Peat Swamp. That's why it caught fire in the first place. And it burned and smoldered underground for weeks afterwards. Even Ratty couldn't run fast enough to escape THIS Blaze. Does THIS sound like an Area that should be preserved by being declared a National Park? THAT'S what they tell us has happened and blame it all on some bureaucrat in Brisbane. So their hands are tied, and the E/W Runway must be located to overfly existing residential areas rather than disturb this pristine abundant wildlife reserve. What a Joke! They had to come up with some excuse eh? - If it wasn't some BS Environmental Issue they would have discovered it violated some Aboriginal Sacred Site of the Cubby-Cubby Tribe. Perhaps it's the spot where Nindery came upon Coolum and Maroochy consummating their love for each other which so enraged him that he knocked Coolums block off and it landed out in the sea to become Mudjimba Island. Sounds more plausable to me mate - Perhaps they could do a DNA test of the Peat to see if it matches Coolums. |
So what was the Local Residents REACTION to this DECISION?  CLICK the Pic for the NEWS CLIP |

Meanwhile, Council is so pleased with THIS Master Plan that they've been busily promoting it to anybody who will listen. They are now eagerly awaiting the commencement of TIGER AIRLINES which will see a dramatic jump in services into the airport. Yes - December 2007 should Jet numbers DOUBLE CLICK the Pic for the NEWS CLIP |

The Planned Extension to the APRON reflects this dramatic jump in Jets by TREBLING the present accommodation facilities. Since the FREQUENCY will also TREBLE the NOISE for the Local Resident Population - What will our ANEF Zone jump to then? CLICK the Pic for Details |

The STAGED DEVELOPMENT PLAN does NOT even show an EAST/WEST Runway . Why Not? Perhaps it will be STAGE 4? Perhaps NEVER? CLICK the Pic for Details or HERE to visit MUSHROOMVILLE |

If
Council was EVER to give serious consideration to the RWY.11/29
Location then they would be preserving these allotments to ensure that
NO Residential Development took place in what would eventually be a
Runway End Safety Zone. But THIS Latest FOR SALE sign indicates that Council has no intention in doing so. CLICK the Pic for Details |
