Below are examples of just some of the reasons that expensive airfares impact on Mount Isa and North West Queensland residents; Lifestyle/Cost of Living 1. Impacts on being able to regularly catch up with family and friends who live on the coast. Which often makes residents feel isolated especially after long periods of time of not seeing loved ones. 2. Emergency unplanned trips (needing to support someone sick, injured or dying) and the fear of not being able to afford the flight costs. 3. Puts enormous limitations on taking holidays/trips away. 4. Costs limit travel to Concerts, Museums, Conferences, Sporting Events, Shows, which is extremely disappointing for residents. 5. Missing out of significant events in your families and friends lives; weddings, special birthdays, births, special occasions is absolutely devastating for residents. 6. Limits participation in training and higher education. 7. Isolates the disadvantaged; families, retirees, single and low income households, pensioners (of all kinds). 8. Limits opportunities to participate in representative sport or opportunities with the Arts etc. 9. Can’t plan an event as sales are so far ahead and for such a short time, you could never co-ordinate an event with a sale.

  • At the Gold Coast Airport 'OOL' in Coolangatta/Tweed Heads From
    At the Gold Coast Airport ‘OOL’ in Coolangatta/Tweed Heads from approximately the last week in October to the first week in April each year being the time difference for New South Wales [N.S.W.] to commence daylight savings and Queensland [QLD] to remain on eastern [kilo] time zone which is six months of the year. The OOL airport is divided by the N.S.W. and QLD state boundary which is also divided by the different time zone. No other airport in the world shares a different time zone and this in itself has detrimental effects of residents that share the differing time zone in that; aircraft’s departing from OOL [which is managed by QLD] may arrive/depart from there time zone between 0600h to 2300h daily. This equates in N.S.W. as 0700h to midnight during daylight saving time. N.S.W. has a curfew for all airports from 0600h to 2300h operations, however due to the border and time difference dependent upon the wind this results in flights that are over N.S.W. curfew timing. With the advent of future increased flights from OOL and in particular to the rail linkage from Brisbane Airport to OOL, OOL will be the secondary and largest international/domestic airport in QLD. With additional timings for increased usage, the residents of N.S.W. will be adversely affected and especially at night time when sound is four times greater than during the day time. The question that needs to be asked is; given OOL is the only airport in the world that shares two time zones during the identified period mentioned above, is it possible that the curfew applies to arrivals and departures for QLD time during N.S.W.

  • Gold Coast in Queensland
    Gold Coast in Queensland Gold Coast — one of the fastest growing Australian cities. Gold Coast is a coastal town in Queensland, in eastern Australia, famous for its line of beautiful beaches. With easy connectivity to Brisbane, Gold Coast is one of the most popular tourist spots in all of Australia. No wonder then, the city has the highest population among non-capital cities of Australia, and its humble airport is the sixth busiest airport in Australia. Southern Gold Coast offers a laid back atmosphere in comparison to the frenzied fun of Surfer's Paradise. Gold Coast Attractions The attractions at Gold Coast are numerous; they include beaches, hinterlands, and posh precincts. Beaches:The Gold Coast is lined with numerous beaches- thirty five in all. Main Beach: This is actually the main surf beach of the town. Pavilion 34, which used to be a bathing pavilion, now serves as a casual cafe serving some appetizing chillo rolls and potato scallops. Surfer's Paradise: Surfer's Paradise alone makes Gold Coast worth a visit. Thanks to its shopping centers, arcades, a beachfront promenade lined with more than a hundred stalls, and above all, some of the best sea-breaks in the world. A long stretch of golden sand is good for a walk or simply to soak up some sun. Surfer's Paradise has a pulsating nightlife too. An array of nightclubs, restaurants and pubs- all clustered within walkable distance of one another remain open till the wee hours of the morning. Broadbeach: Broadbeach has really come into its own. Broadbeach offers an experience that is distinctly different from what Surfer's Paradise has to offer.
