Garfly Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 NBN Newcastle is reporting that Belmont airport (Aeropelican), Lake Macquarie, NSW, is in the process of being purchased by a consortium (including Matt Hall) and is expected to re-open as an airport. It's been closed for seven years and had been expected to be redeveloped for other purposes. However, the Lake Macquarie City Council held out for it to be kept as an airport. Seems like good news for flyers in the area. http://www.nbnnews.com.au/index.php/2013/10/16/mirvac-finds-buyer-for-belmont-airport/ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ignition Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I really hope it is... I've been wishing I could win the lotto for years so I could buy YPEC, I guess I don't need to now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shu77 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 This is great news! The aviation options up there have been quite limited since it and Coonabarabong closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultralights Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Apparently the sale fell through, the $250,000 DA application fee killed it http://www.theherald.com.au/story/1978899/belmont-airport-sale-falls-through/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
