YWOL (Wollongong) to be security controlled.

[JEM]

I am advised that on or from 30 October YWOL will become a security controlled airfield (ASIC needed) as RPT flights will commence. More info available from Shellharbour City Council.

Pity. Wonder if they will introduce security screens in the car park to prevent runaway cars mixing with pedestrians?

YWOL is already security controlled and currently requires an ASIC. Details of the security status of airports can be found in ERSA. For YWOL see note 2. under remarks.

Presumably, some owners are using the ASIC as a security tool for their assets regardless of RPT activity

Col, From Shellharbour Council......

 

Good Afternoon All

 

As you are all aware with RPT flights starting on 30 October 2017 IRA will become a designated Security Controlled Airport again – it is expected that we will be gazetted for this two weeks prior to 30 October.

 

When IRA becomes a Security Controlled port again it will be from the gazetted date and will require any persons going airside to have a current approved ASIC , or in certain circumstances hold a VIC ( Visitor Identification Card) issued by SCC – the person holding the VIC will still be required to be escorted by a ASIC holder.

 

The rules for the issuing of ASIC’s changed on the 1 August 2017 requiring face to face meetings between the ASIC applicant and the Authorising body / agent , this could mean considerable travel for the applicant.

 

SCC is to become an agent for Aviation ID Australia to lessen this impact on the applicant. (Ed highlight)

 

We will advise you of more detail in the coming weeks.

 

Should you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me.

 

Regards

Thanks JEM, perhaps we should point John Barnden towards ERSA so that he can work out what the left hand has been up to (right hand)

Yes Col. YWOL was security controlled years ago when Qantas used it. (C. 2008) but later this lapsed and asics have not been required at YWOL for years. Could it be that the ersa wasnt updated?

It would also suggest that the council is confused and the requirement for an ASIC was never lifted nor the Certified status revoked. Council confused ticks all the boxes.
