This evidence to the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Public Works (PWC) presents a proposal to provide facilities and infrastructure at RAAF Base East Sale and RAAF Base Wagga to bring about cost efficiencies and to overcome identified deficiencies in current RAAF College elements at RAAF Williams (Point Cook Base) and RAAF Base Edinburgh. 2. The proposed RAAF College Relocation project involves the relocation of the following RAAF elements: a. the RAAF College Headquarters from Point Cook Base to RAAF Base Wagga, b. the Officer Training School from Point Cook Base to RAAF Base East Sale, and c. No 1 Recruit Training Unit from RAAF Base Edinburgh to RAAF Base Wagga. 3. The provision of these facilities will provide new facilities and infrastructure for the initial training of all RAAF airmen and airwomen recruits, and officer candidates. The proposal will provide purpose-built administration, training and living-in-accommodation facilities that will enhance RAAF’s capability into the future. OBJECTIVE 4. The objective of the RAAF College Relocation project is to replace aged facilities and infrastructure, overcome deficiencies where facilities do not meet contemporary occupational health and safety standards, bring about cost efficiencies and address problems where facilities are overcrowded and dysfunctional. 5. The RAAF College Relocation project was initiated as a result of the Defence Efficiency Review that identified cost efficiencies could be achieved with the closure of the Point Cook Base with its aging facilities and to accord with Defence policy to have fewer bases. Furthermore, the inadequacy of No 1 Recruit Training Unit facilities at RAAF Base Edinburgh was identified. The need to achieve cost efficiencies and address the deficiencies was considered a priority. Relocation to RAAF Base East Sale and RAAF Base Wagga was appropriate, as these bases had been identified for long-term retention as centres for RAAF training. The relocation also supports the Government’s commitment to regional Australia. 2 BACKGROUND 6. RAAF College is responsible for the delivery of up to 100 courses and the training of up to 5500 recruits, senior non-commissioned officers, officer candidates, Australian Defence Force Academy cadets and junior officers each year. The majority of postgraduate courses are provided through distance learning. RAAF College elements are currently dispersed over several defence sites: a. RAAF Base Point Cook - Headquarters RAAF College and the Officer Training School; b. RAAF Base Edinburgh - No 1 Recruit Training Unit; c. RAAF Base Wagga - School of Postgraduate Studies; d. RAAF Base Richmond - School of Postgraduate Studies, Corporal Promotion Centre; and e. RAAF Base Amberley - School of Postgraduate Studies, Corporal Promotion Centre. Geography 7. RAAF Base East Sale. RAAF Base East Sale is 3 kilometres to the east of the significant regional centre of Sale, Victoria within the Wellington Shire. Located approximately 200 kilometres east of Melbourne, the base occupies an area of approximately 800 hectares. A location map is provided in Annex A. 8. RAAF Base Wagga. RAAF Base Wagga is 11 kilometres to the east of the significant regional city of Wagga Wagga, within the Wagga Wagga City Council. Located approximately 450 kilometres south-west of Sydney, the base occupies an area of approximately 300 hectares. A location map is provided in Annex A. History and composition 9. RAAF Base East Sale. RAAF Base East Sale was opened in April 1943 with the arrival of No 1 Operational Training Unit flying Beaufort and Hudson medium bombers. At that time it was staffed with 2500 personnel responsible for training operational aircrew. World War II saw the rapid expansion of the base with 3558 pilots, navigators, signallers and gunners training at RAAF Base East Sale. Since 1945, the base has remained the main postgraduate flying training centre of the RAAF and supports the Central Flying School, the School of Air Navigation and the School of Air Traffic Control. RAAF Base East Sale is also the home to the RAAF’s premier aerobatic team ‘The Roulettes’. The base currently has approximately 370 Service and 370 civilian staff. It is a significant RAAF training establishment and supports the following major units at the base: 3 a. Headquarters Air Training Wing, b. Central Flying School, c. School of Air Navigation, d. School of Air Traffic Control, e. No 32 Squadron, f. No 44 Wing Detachment East Sale, g. Combat Support Unit East Sale, h. 4th/19th Price of Wales Light Horse Regiment (A Squadron), i. No 409 Squadron Australian Air Force Cadets, and j. Supporting agencies and minor units. 10. RAAF Base Wagga. RAAF Base Wagga was opened in 1940 with No 2 Flying Training School, using Wirraway and Anson aircraft. In 1942 the unit was replaced by No 5 Aircraft Depot that handled maintenance work for aircraft such as Beauforts, Beaufighters, Venturas and Mitchells. Following World War II, the base changed its focus from operations to training, with the relocation from Ascot Vale, Victoria of No 1 Engineering School, becoming in turn the RAAF Ground Training School and then the RAAF School of Technical Training. Headquarters Ground Training Wing is also collocated with many of its subordinate training units at the base. RAAF Base Wagga remains an important centre for airmen and airwomen technical training and hence is a very good ‘fit’ for the move of RAAF recruit training. Today, RAAF Base Wagga is staffed by approximately 800 Service and 300 civilian personnel. The units at RAAF Base Wagga comprise: a. Headquarters Ground Training Wing, b. RAAF School of Technical Training, c. School of Postgraduate Studies, d. Combat Support Unit Wagga, and e. supporting agencies. GOVERNING CONSIDERATIONS Siting 11. Neither RAAF Base East Sale nor RAAF Base Wagga have current Master Plans, although a Master Plan for RAAF Base East Sale is being developed. The siting for facilities 4 identified in the scope of works has been confirmed by Site Selection Boards that considered aspects such as: a. functional requirements; b. airfield planning criteria; c. aircraft operational requirements; d. obstruction clearance requirements; e. aircraft noise; f. explosive ordnance facilities and activities; g. security, ground and air defence of the base; h. environmental considerations; i. navigational aids; and j. potential future expansion. 12. The precincts selected for the RAAF College Relocation project are shown in Annex B (RAAF Base East Sale) and Annex C (RAAF Base Wagga). Defence force disposition 13. The elements of this proposal are consistent with Government direction and with current Defence force disposition planning which identifies long-term retention for both RAAF Base East Sale and RAAF Base Wagga as centres for RAAF training. This proposal will provide a good outcome in

  • An Aircrew Experience by Fred Barnes Document
    1 AS IT HAPPENED BY FRED BARNES AO DFC AFC AN AIRCREW EXPERIENCE ARCHIVAL NOTE: Fred was good enough to entrust his autobiography to me so that I could take extracts for our historical records. Fred joined the RAAF in 1943 when the Service was 22 years old and served continuously until the RAAF turned 60, 38 years later. He held every rank from AC2 to Air Vice-Marshal. Naturally, his book reads like an RAAF Aircrew Who’s Who from the 1940s to the 1980s. Because stories in this section are told in the first person, the words used are Fred’s, whose pilot training to ‘wings’ standard took place at no. 5 Service Flying Training School (SFTS) Uranquinty NSW where the following incident took place. E.C. WHO IS WHOM? One of our course mates was known as Maurie Burnett. He was a little wild and it was rather hard to believe his story that his previous occupation was ‘studying for the priesthood’. On the last weekend before graduation a group of us were in Wagga Wagga celebrating a little early. Because of rationing, hotels were only open for an hour or so at a time and we were walking across the main road to find another hotel that still had some beer. An old car with open spoke wheels was coming along the road and Maurie apparently had not seen it. We called a warning and Maurie, who had been imbibing a little, turned towards the oncoming car and said something to the effect of “Bother the car” and kicked at it.

  • Development in the Obstacle Limitation Surface
    Development in the Obstacle Limitation Surface Western Sydney Airport’s (WSA) protected airspace is known as the Obstacle Limitation Surface (OLS) and has been declared under the provisions of the Airports Act 1996 (Cth) and Airports (Protection of Airspace) Amendment Regulation 1996. The declaration of the OLS balances the need to ensure a safe operating environment for aircraft with the community’s need for clarity about development surrounding the airport. The OLS is designed to protect aircraft flying in visual conditions in close proximity to the WSA. The OLS defines a volume of airspace above a set of surfaces that are primarily modelled upon the layout and configuration of the confirmed Stage 1 and proposed long-term runways. Further technical information about the OLS is available at www.wsaco.com.au. How does the OLS affect me? The purpose of the OLS is to ensure that development within the OLS area is examined for its impact on future aircraft operations and that it is properly taken into account. The OLS will have no impact on you unless the development you plan on your property infringes on the airport’s protected airspace. You will need to be aware of the OLS if you are planning certain developments on your property. An online tool is available at www.wsaco.com.au where you can search your address to find out the height of the protected airspace above your property. Development that infringes on the airport’s protected airspace is called a controlled activity and can include, but is not limited to: permanent structures, such as buildings, intruding into the protected airspace; temporary structures such as cranes intruding into the protected airspace; or any activities causing intrusions into the protected airspace through glare from artificial light or reflected sunlight, air turbulence from stacks or vents, smoke, dust, steam or other gases or particulate matter.
