The Members endorsed the minutes (Proposed Barrie Rogers and Seconded by Shane Saal). BUSINESS ARISING FROM PREVIOUS MINUTES None of note WELCOME TO NEW MEMBERS NIL MINUTES NATIONAL AAA UPDATE (Simon Bourke, Policy Director, AAA) Simon provided a detailed update on the various activities and advocacy work that the AAA has been carrying out for members. ADELAIDE AIRPORT UPDATE (David Blackwell) David provided members with an overview of the planned Terminal Expansion project, as well briefly covering several other projects within the Terminal Precinct. CASA UPDATE - MOS139 (Scott Whiting, Aerodrome Inspector - Adelaide, CASA) Scott explained the revised corporate structure and the Inspector positions that have changed across the nation in recent times. The MOS 139 Post Implementation Review was also covered, including the transition to the new regulatory framework (currently set for August 2018), with full implementation starting in August 2019 (tentative) and expected to take around 3 years to full bed in. The full CASA presentation is available upon request. CASA UPDATE – DRONES Will Whitelaw, Commercial RPAS Inspector, RPAS Branch, National Ops & Standards, CASA) Will covered the use of drones on aerodromes. At this stage only 1 airport in SA is using drones. Some technical terms that may not be familiar. RPAS – Remotely Pilot Air System. A remote pilot licence (RPL) is your individual permission to fly. If you hold a RPL, you will need to be employed by someone who holds a certificate to fly. These operators hold a remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) operators certificate, or REOC. Will covered the process for approval of drone activity around aerodromes. For Controlled aerodromes, CASA will communicate with Airservices Australia on behalf of the operator. Interesting discussion and presentation slides are available on request. Aerodromes cannot shoot or disable drones, as commercial drones are considered an aircraft and it considered illegal interference with an aircraft. If you have a concern about drones, then the police are the only authority capable of dealing with this.

SA REGIONAL AIRPORT MASTER PLAN UPDATE (Juergen Ruppert, Senior Planner Aviation, DPTI) Master planning in SA remains an important topic for DPTI to purse. DPTI are keen to ensure that regions have a vision for what they want from regional airports. This will assist with government planning and potentially financial support for these regions. A dedicated fund has been provisioned for 3 years by the State Government, so documentation such as the Master Plan is an important tool. Juergen also highlighted the support and assistance of the AAA in obtaining funding for regional airports. DPTI would like to convene a meeting with the Master Plan airports to review the current status of the Master Plans. The aim is to ensure that the Master Plans remain up to date and that DPTI understands the airport’s expectations for the next 5 years. FLIGHT TRAINING OUT OF CAPITAL CITIES (Barrie Rogers, Airport Manager, Parafield Airport) An interesting discussion about the current Qantas flight training expression of interest process and some of the regional issues associated with regional flight training.

    Monana THE OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF THE AUSTRALIAN METEOROLOGICAL ASSOCIATION INC June 2017 “Forecasting the November 2015 Pinery Fires”. Matt Collopy, Supervising Meteorologist, SA Forecasting Centre, BOM. At the AMETA April 2017 meeting, Supervising Meteorologist of the Bureau of Meteorology South Australian Forecasting Centre, gave a fascinating talk on forecasting the conditions of the November 2015 Pinery fires, which burnt 85,000ha 80 km north of Adelaide. The fire started during the morning of Wednesday 25th November 2015 ahead of a cold frontal system. Winds from the north reached 45-65km/h and temperatures reached the high 30’s, ahead of the change, with the west to southwest wind change reaching the area at around 2:30pm. Matt’s talk highlighted the power of radar imagery in improving the understanding of the behaviour of the fire. The 10 minute radar scans were able to show ash, and ember particles being lofted into the atmosphere, and help identify where the fire would be spreading. The radar also gave insight into the timing of the wind change- vital information as the wind change greatly extends the fire front. Buckland Park radar image from 2:30pm (0400 UTC) on 25/11/2015 showing fine scale features of the Pi- nery fire, and lofted ember particles. 1 Prediction of fire behaviour has vastly improved, with Matt showing real-time predictions of fire behaviour overlain with resulting fire behaviour on the day. This uses a model called Phoenix, into which weather model predicted conditions, and vegetation information are fed to provide a model of expected fire behaviour.

  • Submission on Integrated Movement Systems Discussion Paper
    5 November 2018 Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure Dear Sir / Madam City of Salisbury submission on Integrated Movement Systems Discussion Paper Thank you for the opportunity to make a submission on the Integrated Movement Systems Discussion Paper. Council has been in caretaker mode for the Local Government Elections, and will consider this matter at its December round of meetings. The submission does however reflect various positions of Council that have been endorsed, and is considered to be consistent in its comments. A number of detailed comments are provided in the table at the end of the letter, but the key submission points are as follows: Airport policy consideration The City of Salisbury has within it two significant airports. Parafield Airport is a general aviation airport that also provides for aviation training facilities which includes repeated landing and take-off flight circuit training, and the RAAF Base Edinburgh which is a significant military airport that is home to long range surveillance aircraft and is utilised by jet fighters and support planes. Council is acutely aware of the impacts of airport operations on the community and also by the implementation of the National Airports Safeguarding Framework federal guidelines which includes airplane noise levels, and a recent draft Guideline on Public Safety Areas. There are a number of Guidelines of varying impacts and controls on development around airports, but these two significantly affect a large number of properties, with differing levels of policy requirements depending upon the airport type. It is considered that the Discussion Paper is almost silent both on the impact of airports on the communities around them, and as economic drivers in their own right.

  • Development of Adelaide West Beach Airport
    SOUTH AUSTRALIAN AVIATION MUSEUM SIGNIFICANT AVIATION EVENTS PROFILES The development of West Beach Airport1 By the beginning of 1954, commercial traffic density at Parafield had reached the point where the DCA had to stop the Royal Aero Club of South Australia’s flying competitions. Trans Aus- tralia Airlines (TAA), ANA and Ansett were flying a mix of DC3s, Convair 240s and DC4s on routes to Melbourne, Sydney and Perth; and Guinea Airways – removed from its wartime Adelaide–Darwin route by its award to TAA – was confined to an intrastate network of SA regional centres. Parafield was busting at the seams and its facilities were becoming less and less suitable for the larger aircraft that had come into service. This profile describes the de- velopment of as new airport at West Beach and the removal of airline traffic from Parafield. Parafield Airport was established in October 1927 by the Commonwealth Government as Ad- elaide’s airport to replace the field at Albert Park, which was increasingly encroached by ur- banisation and power lines. Its “remoteness” from the city (eighteen kilometres!) was always considered a disadvantage, and as early as 1935 the Royal Aero Club of South Australia’s com- mittee had approached the State Government to establish a city aerodrome at Victoria Park racecourse – part of the parklands encircling the city. This was in the context of planning for the Brisbane to Adelaide 1936 Centenary Air Race, and it is perhaps reasonable to assume that the club had in mind a more central location for the arrival of the race fleet rather than the establishment of a new aerodrome there for commercial services.

  • Title of Your Paper
    BIVEC/GIBET Transport Research Days 2019 A Bimodal Accessibility Analysis of Australia Using Web-based Resources Sarah Meire1 Ben Derudder2 Abstract: A range of potentially disruptive changes to research strategies have been taking root in the field of transport research. Many of these relate to the emergence of data sources and travel applications reshaping how we conduct accessibility analyses. This paper, based on Meire et al. (in press) and Meire and Derudder (under review), aims to explore the potential of some of these data sources by focusing on a concrete example: we introduce a framework for (road and air) transport data extraction and processing using publicly available web-based resources that can be accessed via web Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), illustrated by a case study evaluating the combined land- and airside accessibility of Australia at the level of statistical units. Given that car and air travel (or a combination thereof) are so dominant in the production of Australia’s accessibility landscape, a systematic bimodal accessibility analysis based on the automated extraction of web-based data shows the practical value of our research framework. With regard to our case study, results show a largely-expected accessibility pattern centred on major agglomerations, supplemented by a number of idiosyncratic and perhaps less-expected geographical patterns. Beyond the lessons learned from our case study, we show some of the major strengths and limitations of web-based data accessed via web-APIs for transport related research topics. Keywords: “web-based data”, “application programming interfaces (APIs)”, “road and air transport”, “bimodal accessibility”, “Australia”. 1. Introduction A range of potentially disruptive changes to research strategies have been taking root in the field of transport research.

  • Air Services Amendment Bill 2018 Submission 44
    Committee Secretary Senate Standing Committees on Rural and Regional Affairs and Transport Please accept the following submission on behalf of the City of Salisbury on this matter. The City of Salisbury is a suburban Council in metropolitan Adelaide, South Australia and is home to both Parafield Airport and Edinburgh Defence Base. We only became aware of the Air Services Amendment Bill and the Inquiry on the 28th May 2018 and we are disappointed, as a significant stakeholder in airport operations, that we were not made aware of the Bill and Inquiry in any formal manner that would allow proper consideration of the proposed Bill and its implications for the Salisbury Community. The City of Salisbury has within it a significant general aviation and flight training airport, Parafield Airport, which is managed by the Adelaide Airport. Its approved 2017 Master Plan indicates that the runway capacity is 450,000, and has a current movement of 214,000, with the 2037 forecast being 340,000 movements. I have attached the submission Council made on the Master Plan for the Inquiry information and use. It should be noted that the submission makes comments on reviewing the voluntary curfew, flight training circuits, and provision of a noise attenuation program. The submission also comments on the community feedback on investigating and resolving noise complaints, and seeks a review of the consultation methodology of Master Plans, and improvements to the complaint system and the membership selection process of the Consultative Committee. Council receives frequent complaints from residents under or near the Parafield Airport flight paths about the impacts of aircraft movements upon their amenity.
