Rex will also attend the public hearing and make a verbal response. Overall Rex is very disappointed with the draft report. The draft report is full of errors and incorrect assumptions. We are surprised that the Productivity Commission (the Commission) has chosen to ignore the evidence and arguments put forward by airlines whilst willingly accepting evidence and arguments put forward by the airports. It appears that either the Commission did not read Rex’s submission, totalling about 500 pages, or if it did, decided to ignore it.

  • Warren Airport Master Plan 2018 - 2028
    Warren Airport Master Plan 2018 - 2028 Adopted: 27th September 2018 – Res No: 214.9.18 Warren Airport Master Plan 2018 - 2028 Executive Summary The Warren Airport Master Plan has been prepared in accordance with airport regulations including the CASA MOS Part 139 Aerodrome section. The Warren Airport is a general aviation airport and today provides a very valuable service to air operators and the general aviation community. The airport has daily general aviation and sport or recreational aircraft using the facility. There is currently no Regular Passenger Transport (RPT) operator at Warren. The attraction of such an operator is discussed within the master plan and consideration and discussion about how to attract an operator and seek community support to deliver on this objective. The airport has a commercial agricultural air operator based at it and daily flights are conducted by multiple aircraft. The airport has a long history that once included RPT services and the training of pilots through the Warren Aero Club. The Club is non-functioning but may again be formed subject to this plan. The report is structured in two sections being the airport background that looks at the airport as is, and the strategic vision to further develop the airport generally. The second section; consideration is made as to future development potential, the scheduling of works outcomes and the community support to bring about change and use enhancement. This Plan has addressed the regulation components around the development of the airport. The Plan has also taken a holistic view based on experience of the author and from known aviation activities that a community can support to ensure that the airport facility is used to a higher extent.
