Nine Regional Airports to Receive High-Priority Upgrades Hon Stephan Knoll MP Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Local Government Thursday 4 October 2018 Nine regional airports to receive high-priority upgrades The Marshall Government has announced nine priority projects at regional airports across South Australia will share almost $850,000 as part of the latest round of Support Regional Aviation fund. “The Marshall Government is continuing to invest in regional South Australia, particularly when it comes to productive infrastructure,” said Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Local Government Stephan Knoll. “The Liberals are delivering a $315 million roads and infrastructure fund, key regional projects like the Port Wakefield upgrade and Joy Baluch Bridge, as well as regional growth and job opportunities through the $150 million Regional Growth Fund. “This fund aims to improve the regional airport network to conform to regulatory requirements, accommodate changing airline fleets, support the growth of regional aviation markets, and deliver regional economic and social benefits through improved air services. “Successful projects include new taxiway, apron and hanger facilities, upgrades and repairs to runways and taxiways, improved lighting and fencing, amongst other improvements.” The below table lists all successful projects: Project Project Cost State Contribution Mount Gambier Airport $23,928 $11,964 • Repairs to taxiway A1 Whyalla Airport $162,690 $81,345 • Self-service fuel station Whyalla Airport $38,166 $15,583 • Install a command centre shed Streaky Bay $71,970 $53,978 • Secure, vermin proof Aerodrome fence Port Pirie $67,500 $33,750 • New fence and improvements to runway and waiting room Coober Pedy Airport $15,134 $15,134 • Line marking on runway 04/22 and taxiway Port Augusta Airport $82,500 $82,500 • Design of a compliant lighting control system Naracoorte Aerodrome Airport $140,000 $70,000 • New taxiway and apron and hanger facilities Coober Pedy Airport $477,668 $477,668 • New secure airport fence $1,079,556 $841,922 Contact: David Franchitto 0466 496 963 .

  • Rex Inputs for NSW Government's Submission to The
    12th January 2018 Wayne Murphy Senior Export Adviser NSW Department of Industry Via email: [email protected] RE: Inquiry into the provision of air route service delivery to Regional NSW Dear Wayne, Thank you for requesting our subsidiary, the Australian Airline Pilot Academy (AAPA), to provide input to the NSW Government's submission to the Commonwealth Senate inquiry on the provision or air route service delivery to regional NSW. Ivan Tan forwarded this request through to us. It is quite surprising that Regional Express (Rex), as the largest regional operator of regional air services in NSW, has not been asked for input given the focus of the inquiry. We are also astounded that we were given only two days to respond. It probably reflects the importance the department attaches to this initiative. The deadline is very rushed given the importance of some of the issues we wish to raise. As such, we have done the best we can by listing some key issues, and have attached references to assist in outlining each issue in detail. 1) High Airport Charges We have attached a submission to the WA Government (item 1 – attachment 1) in response to their inquiry on Regional Airfares. This submission sets out the challenges we and other regional airlines face with high airport charges and actions that can be taken by local government to make routes viable. All that has been said for the WA inquiry remains relevant for the NSW situation. We also want to emphasise that in many occasions these high airport charges have been driven by non- essential and extravagant airport upgrades often partially funded by State Governments with absolutely no consultation with operators.

  • ADF Serials Telegraph Newsletter
    John Bennett ADF Serials Telegraph Newsletter Volume 10 Issue 3: Winter 2020 Welcome to the ADF-Serials Telegraph. Articles for those interested in Australian Military Aircraft History and Serials Our Editorial and contributing Members in this issue are: John ”JB” Bennett, Garry “Shep” Shepherdson, Gordon “Gordy” Birkett and Patience “FIK” Justification As stated on our Web Page; http://www.adf-serials.com.au/newsletter.htm “First published in November 2002, then regularly until July 2008, the ADF-Serials Newsletter provided subscribers various news and articles that would be of interest to those in Australian Military Heritage. Darren Crick was the first Editor and Site Host; the later role he maintains. The Newsletter from December 2002 was compiled by Jan Herivel who tirelessly composed each issue for nearly six years. She was supported by contributors from a variety of backgrounds on subjects ranging from 1914 to the current period. It wasn’t easy due to the ebb and flow of contributions, but regular columns were kept by those who always made Jan’s deadlines. Jan has since left this site to further her professional ambitions. As stated “The Current ADF-Serials Telegraph is a more modest version than its predecessor, but maintains the direction of being an outlet and circulating Email Newsletter for this site”. Words from me I would argue that it is not a modest version anymore as recent years issues are breaking both page records populated with top quality articles! John and I say that comment is now truly being too modest! As stated, the original Newsletter that started from December 2002 and ended in 2008, and was circulated for 38 Editions, where by now...excluding this edition, the Telegraph has been posted 44 editions since 2011 to the beginning of this year, 2020.

  • Annual Report 2014/2015
    2014-15 ANNUAL REPORT Photo by Eric Brokken CITY OF WHYALLA 2014-15 WHYALLA WETLANDS Significant upgrades have been undertaken at Whyalla’s Wetlands in an effort to enhance the area and create a space for recreational use. The wetlands are now a popular location for residents, who enjoy using the walking and cycling tracks, outdoor exercise equipment and nature play playground. Landscaping works were also undertaken to significantly enhance the aesthetics of the area. WHYALLA AIRPORT In the first half of 2014, a major upgrade of Whyalla Airport terminal and its car park was undertaken. This upgrade was completed on time and within budget in July 2014 and was officially opened by Minister for Regional Development Hon Geoff Brock in August 2015. The terminal was redesigned to enhance its visual appeal, and also to increase functionality. The new facility assisted in attracting a second carrier, QantasLink, to the city. WHYALLA DOG PARK A purpose-built facility, designed specifically for exercising and socialising Whyalla’s canine friends, was developed and completed. The dog park was developed on a piece of unused land on Searle Street. The facility included the installation of purpose-built dog exercise equipment, a unique drinking fountain, catering for both humans and dogs, a large grassed area and safety gates. WHYALLA FORESHORE Whyalla City Council continued major redevelopment works at the Whyalla Foreshore, creating a popular, busy and highly used outdoor recreational hub. One improvement of note was upgrades undertaken at the Beach Café. Works undertaken were aimed at improving the functionality and visual appeal of this popular community space.
