We have been working for eight years to get to this point. Goolwa Airport has finally been approved for re-zoning as an airport (as opposed to rural) with a residential capacity so from now on residential approval will be a complying development. We have 58 residential blocks available with the first stage of ten ready for selection now.

 

This will ensure the existence of the Goolwa Airport for the foreseeable future and allow us to upgrade the grass runways to all-weather strips with new taxiways and update other infrastructure.

Now all I have to do is win the lotto. Nice one Ray. Long time no see. I used to be a member of the Aldinga Flying Club. I trust you and yours are well.

The document seems to be allowing Industrial development, which is now one of the big problem issues at Moorabbin.

An interesting read and seemingly positive for the airport, for the short and long term..here is a council that recognizes the value of an airport to a community. Well done Goola !...............Maj...

This is a great idea, well done. I fully appreciate the work you must have put in. Where are they advertised? they aren't showing on realestate.com.au, as far as I can see

I just took another look at it - that's just DPA proposal dated May 2011.

 

 

[REastwood]

Yep, that is the proposal, but it was passed by council in November 2012, it will be in the Government Gazette either this month or January (if it's not already in there). We are taking expressions of interest so as to gauge interest. We have planned to do 10 blocks first but that can change depending on numbers. We have 6 signed up already.

 

Doug (Deskpilot), I'm Richard, Ray's nephew. Ray has now retired and is moving his aircraft to Goolwa.

 

Cooperplace - we have advertised in the Aviation Trader, under Aviation related Real Estate. Once of the encumbrances is that you must be affiliated with aviation, so there is little point advertising in the normal real estate places.

 

We are still in the early stages but there are people here who want a specific site so the earlybirds can take their choice pick at a fixed price.

 

While to Council has finally approved this development, it has been a hard slog, and other airparks in other states have taken half the time to go from concept to fruition. We had to deal with changes in Development Assessment Panels, Changes in Government Planning Ministers, etc. Hopefully it should be straight forward from now on.
