tillmanr 80 #1 Posted November 16 Can someone confirm that Temora council is introducing landing fees for visitors as well as slugging airpark residents a levy? Paradise lost. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Country Flyer 3 #2 Posted November 17 Hi, I was looking to purchase land at temora. I spoke with council re fees . The ‘boss’ guy said they won’t be charging landing fees as they are keen to encourage pilots. They were looking at doing a $500 per year for property owners to assist in the airport precinct. That was about 2 months ago when I was there. We didn’t go ahead and buy as we have now pretty much settled on narromine. Things may of changed in two months.

KRviator 430 #3 Posted November 19 I have a block there (currently for sale...)and got the letter about the residents levy. Personally, I objected to it in an email to council, as I believe the airport is council owned and should be funded by council - the same as Lake Centenary is and the skate park etc etc. IIRC, the levy for my lock would be $400/year, though the rates are quite reasonable as compared to Sydney prices, so it does kinda balance out. I don't recall them charging a landing fee for light aircraft, but I'd have to check to confirm, I'm interstate for work at the moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clouddancer 3 #4 Posted November 22 To clarify, Temora Council management and councillors have been very approachable and have deferred any decision for a thorough consultation process and review of financials. I doubt any changes other than making the rates at the airport the same as those in town. This was an oversight and something I certainly did not realise was the case. The council has always been supportive of the airport and very easy to get on with. Suspect this was a poorly thought out plan of some staff and now the councillors are aware it will go away. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
