Some major achievements which have supported and grown our industry. o Simon Bourke is Acting CEO and we thank him for stepping in this leadership role temporarily.

Recognise and thank Joeley for all her work, particularly supporting the Productivity Commission work and increasing the AAA communication portfolio. • Bushfires – The December and January period were significantly affected by bushfires. AAA member airports were affected in a number of ways, both by the fires directly but also supporting the firefighting efforts. Keen to share learnings form this w airports supported communities and how it affected their airports. Will plan to add to the next face to face meeting if we can. • Industrial relations issues with JQ – pilots and ramp staff has been resolved and took some focus. • Australian industry skills council is reviewing Certificate IV in Aviation.

SA meeting also held via Webinar o Refer to the AAA website on COVID19 and what’s relevant to you specifically • AAA will work with government on assistance and industry impacts 2 | P a g e TAS Chair Report and Update -- by Paul Hodgen, presented by Katie Cooper • Last meeting Hobart in September 19. • Jetstar industrial action impacted January flying program in capacity terms more than the actual industrial action in September. • Thankfully TAS was largely spared the bushfire devastation seen on the Mainland. The Australian international brand been damaged though through exaggerated media reporting in offshore markets, with many people on the other side of the planet having little sense of the scale and size of Australia. (the Tasmanian brand as a visitor destination which is based around the spectacular natural environment and wildlife will however undoubtedly have also been impacted) • Then the COVID-19 crisis which we are currently grappling with having had devastating impacts on traffic volumes and revenues our staff and those of our partners. TAS has moved rapidly to implement and then subsequently harden border controls for arriving pax. • New MOS139 is here and CASA will update us shortly • Thanks to all the state airports for their involvement in safety week back in 14-18 October. The program and activities just seem to get bigger and bigger. Well done! • In November we saw the ex gratia rates case brought by northern midlands council and Clarence council against HBA and LST dismissed and costs awarded to airports. Could have implications for all federally leased airports. Unsurprisingly they appealed and case is being re-heard by video conference in HOBART on 4 May. • Some airports will now have secured grant funding from the Federal Government to underpin part of the capital equipment costs associated with the enhanced screening measures regime. It remains to be seen how those plans will change in light of the COVID crisis. • Unfortunately, the crisis hasn’t made PFAS go away and we note with interest the settlements being made by government at defence site communities on the mainland. COVID is impacting TAS EPA engagement on PFAS matters at state level as their resources are diverted to state response. • The Tourism industry has been significantly impacted by Bushfires and now COVID. Late last year the state had just launched rebranded Tourism Tasmania and relaunched its new “Come Down for Air” campaign (urging visitors to take time out). The industry was also well on the way to nailing its T30 Visitor Economy Strategy on the back of our successful T21 campaign and 1.5 m visitors by 2020. • I would I want to acknowledge the departure of Sarah Renner, former CEO of Hobart Airport. A former AAA Board Member and Tourism Industry Council of Tasmania Board member. I acknowledge her significant contribution to the association and wish her well in her future endeavours. 3 | P a g e AAA Update - Scott Martin, AAA (Slide pack attached) • Depending on containment and eradication strategies from government will depend on how further meetings are held • Encouraged members to join working groups • Commonwealth assistance to aviation sector – 3 key assistance programs (please refer to slide pack) • Security and Border Processing – significant focus by AAA this year. Support industry as implementing new requirements. • Identified more cost shifting to airports, so AAA working to get relief • Other work AAA is conducting includes o Protecting regional airports o Drones o PFAS o Industry development o Supporting regional airports CASA Industry Update - Jason Rainbird CASA • 90% of CASA are working from home (WFH) due Covid and some on rotational basis. Important to note CASA staff are still working and available to support and assist airports. • Overview of staffing structure and locations and how to contact CASA for requests, approvals, etc. should be sent to [email protected]. Mailbox is attended daily. • Change Management – communication with key stakeholders is important so the product you end up with is what you wanted. Considering risks in a project, and if MOS standards are being met. CASA involvement in the early stages is paramount (regulatory assistance). • Change management examples where engagement was not made and MOS standards not met. • MOS 139 – explanation of key milestones and regulation amendments • Surveillance Activity – COVID19 has created issues with non-travel allowances. CASA believe that this activity will be affected during the next financial year but are remaining flexible depending upon how Covid restrictions change. • CASA reminded airports that the use of self-reporting deficiency tool – advising CASA in advance of items not being able to be performed accordingly to AON due to Covid19 – should be recorded with CASA. SRDs are a handy mechanism for what is happening at your aerodrome. If you are not on the CASA mailing list, training package is released by CASA and found on CASA portal. Web based activity. • Transition training -Training is free but you will need an Aviation Reference Number (ARN). You can register for one if you don’t have it already, through the CASA portal. 4 | P a g e MOS 139 Discussion Further ‘Grandfathering’ Items for Consideration (Tom Griffiths memo) - Katie Cooper • Slide pack presented provides hints and tips regarding new grandfathering items. Q & A from members • Tom recommended members read documents carefully. • Q - Will CASA allow first attempts be able to be revised? A - CASA advised that some aerodromes have bigger issues than others. CASA will work with aerodromes as required. • Q – where can aerodromes find old standards, RPAs, etc? A – CASA – will speak with Joe Hain. CASA have some documentation but not all. Jason will share with AAA with findings. ACTION: Jason Rainbird. Tom advised members that Archerfield Airport has a very good record of old standards. ACTION: Tom to save documents on line and members to use as a reference point Around the Tarmacs – Scott Martin Current Initiatives surrounding COVID-19: Operations/Staffing/Cost cutting/Stakeholder Engagement • Bas Smeulders – Global Airspace Solutions – still busy in office and no problems with COVID19 only courses that are held in person.

  • TASMANIAN AVIATION HISTORICAL SOCIETY Incorporated WYNYARD AIPORT – a BREIF HISTORY Wynyard Airport – a Brief History the Fi
    TASMANIAN AVIATION HISTORICAL SOCIETY Incorporated WYNYARD AIPORT – A BREIF HISTORY Wynyard Airport – A Brief History Author: W Dearing, December 2020 The first aerodrome at Wynyard was built by volunteers on an old racecourse. However, within a year of completion in 1932, the aerodrome was found to be too small for larger passenger and mail aircraft. A larger aerodrome was developed on the southern outskirts of the town and was officially opened on 26 February 1934. A further opening ceremony on 1st January 1935 was attended by the Prime Minister of the time, Joseph Lyons. This early development is described in this article on or website. In the mid-1970s, Federal policy was adopted that would eventually see the ownership and maintenance of all airports outside of capital cities transferred from the Commonwealth to the respective local authorities. Under the new scheme, the future of the Wynyard Aerodrome was cast into doubt after Federal funding was secured for upgrading the Devonport Airport in August 1980; few if any areas of regional Australia had two major commuter and cargo airports only 60 km apart, would Wynyard also be upgraded ? After much political controversy, it wasn't until March 1985 that Wynyard’s future was assured when AU$5.2 million was allocated by the State and Federal governments to upgrade the Wynyard aerodrome. The upgraded aerodrome was officially opened on 15 February 1987, incorporating a sealed runway 1650 m long. Ownership had been transferred from the Commonwealth to the Burnie Port Authority and the Wynyard Aerodrome was renamed to Burnie Airport. The Burnie Airport Corporation Unit Trust acquired the Burnie Airport from the Burnie Port Corporation in 2001.

ACM Houston, CDF INTRODUCTION 1. The review was conducted at the direction of Air Vice-Marshal G.C. Brown, Deputy Chief of Air Force, to address the matter of the provision of access for civil aircraft operations at Air Force airfields. 2. The National Aviation White Paper noted that the review conducted by Defence would be considered by Government to ensure that civil access to Defence airfields is compatible with current and future military requirements.2 3. Defence capability is inextricably linked to the availability of its airfields for training and, if necessary, the conduct of operations. Air Force airfields exist to support the generation, sustainment and deployment of military capability to meet Defence tasking by the Australian Government. Military use shall always have primacy at these locations. Accordingly, military activities may affect or even preclude civil aviation at Air Force airfields.3 BACKGROUND 4. The Air Force conducts flying operations from 12 bases around Australia. Two of the bases are Joint User Airfields, Darwin (DAR) and Townsville (TVL); five can be classified as “operational bases”, Amberley (AMB), Edinburgh (EDN), Tindal (TDL), Richmond (RIC), and Williamtown (WLM); two as “training bases”, East Sale (ESL) and Pearce (PEA); and three are “bare bases “, Curtin (CIN), Learmonth (LMO), and Scherger (SCG).

  • Airports What the Productivity Commission Missed
    Airports What the Productivity Commission missed David Richardson Oct 2019 On 22 October the Government released the Productivity Commission’s final report on airports. The Productivity Commission draft report on airports had said their investigation showed airport profits on the high side but were not high enough to warrant concern that they were abusing their monopoly power. Note that this preliminary conclusion was based not on an inspection of their financial reports but on questions put to the airports seeking profit and asset data on certain of their businesses such as those aeronautical operations. The final report comes to the same general conclusions when it says for example On balance, most indicators of operational efficiency (including costs and service quality), aeronautical revenue and charges, and profitability are within reasonable bounds (p 2) Further Overall, the evidence does not suggest that the monitored airports have systematically exercised their market power in aeronautical services to the detriment of the community. Some financial indicators could be consistent with the exercise of market power, when taken in isolation. In particular, the high international charges at Sydney and Brisbane airports, Sydney Airport’s profitability, and the high operating costs at Perth Airport show that there is reason to remain vigilant (p 20). These comments do not sit all that comfortably together. We observed that neither the draft or final report quotes financial data from annual reports of the various companies concerned. The four main airports; Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth are all owned by companies that are virtually pure-plays in the airport industry; they have very few assets or operations other than their core airport operations.
