Risk to the Safety of Aviation at Shellharbour Airport
UNITED UNDER THE COMMON GOAL OF ACHIEVING THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF AVIATION SAFETY 11 June 2021: Sent electronically via email The Hon. Rob Stokes, MP 52 Martin Place SYDNEY NSW 2000 Risk to the Safety of Aviation at Shellharbour Airport Dear Minister Stokes Our organisations collectively write to you to express our deep concern about the risk that the conditionally approved Tallawarra B project poses to the safety of aviation at Shellharbour Airport. Energy Australia have been working towards building an Open Cycle Gas Turbine (OCGT) power plant at Tallawarra since 2010. One of the main complexities associated with this proposal is that it poses a risk to aviation safety at the Shellharbour airport. The Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) recommended modelling has shown that every OCGT unit studied in the period since 2010 would pose a significant risk to the safety of aviation. Energy Australia are now seek- ing full approval for an OCGT unit with the addition of a mechanical diffuser on the stack in order to reduce the impact to airport users. The following is relevant in understanding the level of concern we collectively have regarding the risk this proposal might pose to the safety of aviation at Shellharbour Airport: • The assessment consultant that the proponent used for all assessments since 2010 confirmed to En- ergy Australia in writing that a mechanical diffuser on the stack will not sufficiently reduce the plume velocity because the primary driver of vertical velocity is thermal, which the mechanical diffuser does not address. Energy Australia subsequently changed plume modelling consultants. • Every plume rise assessment completed for Tallawarra till recently has been fully transparently docu- mented and shared with NSW Department Infrastructure, Energy and Environment, CASA and Shellhar- bour City Council. -

Farewell Qantas
Farewell Qantas 747 Wednesday 22 July was a sad day for many aviation enthusiasts as Qantas’ last Boeing 747-438 ER, VH-OEJ, ‘Wunala’, departed Sydney for Los Angeles and eventually to the aircraft boneyard in Victorville on the edge of the Mojave Desert, to be placed into storage. The departure was done in style though with all the fanfare and flourish befitting the ‘Queen of the Skies’! After push back, the aircraft initially performed a ‘lap of honour’ at Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport, complete with the traditional water cannon salute, before departing on Runway 16R as QF7474. The departure was followed by some low level passes over the Sydney metropolitan area before VH-OEJ turned south to the Illawarra to fly over her older sibling, VH-OJA ‘City of Canberra’ at Shellharbour airport. The departure of VH-OEJ marks the end of almost 50 years of Qantas operating Boeing 747 ‘Jumbo jet’ aircraft. The first was a Boeing 747-238, entering service with Qantas in September 1971. A total of 65 747s were operated by Qantas during the period 1971 to 2020, including almost every variant offered by Boeing. Many Qantas staff, past and present, attended HARS on the day to wave farewell to VH-OEJ and catch up with old friends from their days of flying. As VH-OEJ passed over Shellharbour airport at 1,500 feet, Captain Sharelle Quinn saluted the first Qantas 747-438: “...from the last Qantas Boeing 747, farewell to HARS and farewell to OJA,” before setting course for Los Angeles. At least that’s what everyone thought until somebody noticed on a flight tracking app, the aircraft turning back towards Port Macquarie. -

Board of Airline Representatives of Australia (BARA)
BARA submission to the Productivity Commission – Australia’s international tourism industry: trends, drivers and barriers to growth Overview of BARA The Board of Airline Representatives of Australia (BARA) is the industry body promoting the safe and efficient operations of international airlines serving Australia for the benefit of consumers, businesses and tourism. BARA’s members provide 90% of all international passenger flights to and from Australia. BARA’s role is to provide a collective voice on major issues that affect international aviation. The sustainable growth and potential of Australia’s international aviation industry depends on the right economic policy framework and legislative and regulatory arrangements. As a ‘hands on’ industry body, directly supporting its members’ operations, BARA takes a collaborative and practical approach to its work. BARA has authorisation from the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission to collectively negotiate on behalf of its members with international airports, Airservices Australia and other providers of essential aviation services. At an operational level, BARA engages with airport operators and border agencies to improve the experience, efficiency and safety outcomes for international passengers. BARA’s vision and outcomes To guide BARA’s work and clearly articulate its ideals, BARA’s members have developed a Vision and Outcomes for International Aviation in Australia, available at www.bara.org.au. The vision for international aviation in Australia is ‘High quality, adaptive and
