Bitter (CBR) airport feud ends with peace treaty

[Hvr]

One of Australia's longest and bitterest business feuds ended in a peace treaty signed in Canberra on Wednesday.


Canberra Airport and the local construction outfit Village Building Company publicly declared an end to 15 years of open warfare over Village's plans to build houses under the airport's flight path across the NSW border at Tralee.


The truce means Village will build its 1500 houses at Tralee while the Airport believes it has safeguarded 24-hour flight status from noise complaints by future residents of the development.

Looks like common sense has finally prevailed.

Village will also request that Queanbeyan Council include “Section 149 Planning Certificates” on property titles at Tralee with the following wording:


“This land is subjected to aircraft noise at any time by the 24 hour/7 day passenger, freight and defence aircraft flight operations arriving and departing Canberra Airport. The frequency of aircraft movements and the size of aircraft are forecast to increase indefinitely into the future. It is the responsibility of landowners to noise attenuate their property to ensure their amenity as Canberra Airport will remain curfew free.”

I live about 5kms as the crow flies from that development and it just strikes me that there must be another spot other than under the flight path to develop a housing estate.

Common sense NEVER prevails.
Let's see where we are in 10 years, once the title has changed hands a few times.

Yes, it is the bell-whether electorate in that it has gone with the government since 1972.
