"Fits Within the Template"...........Pigs Arse!!

Carmedy and his band of ducking Carmedians are a disgrace!! Answer the question you idiots; who approved the encroachment on the OLS?

A quick trip back in time will show the fiasco unfolding; first let's go to 2003. Fully compliant except for a fence; encroaches by 5 metres. The parked cars don't count because they are not fixed structures.



In 2005 the first stage of the DFO is complete (building not shown) but the new fence line clearly encroaches on the air strip along with a couple of large water tanks. The DFO building (not shown) encroaches on the air strip buy a mere 24 metres by the way.



In 2006 as part of the Airport Master Plan, we build another fence. Inside the air strip of course!



You know once you build a fence and there are no complaints (especially from CASA); you can pretty much build what you want...like a Dan Murphy's and Good Guys.



And for those interested; if you go to the 2008 version of the Essendon Airport Master Plan, page 74 has a really piss poor image of the runways for prescribed airspace purposes. In other words the air strip widths used to determine the inner portions of the OLS. The east west runway is class 4 and north south is class 3...........low and behold the air strip widths are 150 metres AND not the 300metres prescribed by the Part 139 MOS.

The Carmedians have clearly lost control of the circus!

FFS.

P7 edit - Tim Tam and choc frog to Mr.PB. The displaced threshold a story on its own. Wonder what the taxiway cost - who paid for it and why?
