The Office of Airspace Regulation (OAR) has conducted an airspace review within a 15 nautical mile (NM) radius of Avalon Airport to determine if the airspace remains fit for purpose. The review examined the airspace architecture, classifications, procedures and infrastructure from the surface to 8,500 feet (FT) above mean sea level (AMSL). The previous aeronautical study specifically for Avalon was conducted in 2008.1 This airspace review applies CASA’s regulatory philosophy which considers the primacy of air safety, whilst taking into account the environment, security, cost and is consistent with the Australian Airspace Policy Statement 2018 and the Minister’s Statement of Expectations. A multifaceted approach was used in conducting this review, including quantitative and qualitative analysis consisting of: • Aerodrome traffic data; • Airspace design; • Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) incident data; and • Stakeholder consultation.

Roger Peterson Arthur and Ruth Sloan Professor of Political Science Chair, Graduate Program Committee 1 Why some airport-rail links get built and others do not: the role of institutions, equity and financing by Julia Nickel Submitted to the Department of Political Science On October 12, 2010, in partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Political Science Abstract The thesis seeks to provide an understanding of reasons for different outcomes of airport ground access projects. Five in-depth case studies (Hongkong, Tokyo-Narita, London- Heathrow, Chicago- O’Hare and Paris-Charles de Gaulle) and eight smaller case studies (Kuala Lumpur, Seoul, Shanghai-Pudong, Bangkok, Beijing, Rome- Fiumicino, Istanbul-Atatürk and Munich- Franz Josef Strauss) are conducted. The thesis builds on existing literature that compares airport-rail links by explicitly considering the influence of the institutional environment of an airport on its ground access situation and by paying special attention to recently opened dedicated airport expresses in Asia.
