    Committee Secretary Senate Standing Committees on Rural and Regional Affairs and Transport PO Box 6100 Parliament House Canberra ACT 2600 Phone: +61 2 6277 3511 Fax: +61 2 6277 5811 [email protected] Dear Sir/Madam, RE: The operation, regulation and funding of air route service delivery to rural, regional and remote communities SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC IMPACTS OF AIR ROUTE SUPPLY AND AIRFARE PRICING; Mount Isa Businesses, Schools, Hospital and most organisations have significant trouble attracting and retaining a skilled workforce. 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.

  • Aerospace Action Plan Progress Report
    QUEENSLAND AEROSPACE 10-Year Roadmap and Action Plan PROGRESS REPORT By 2028, the Queensland aerospace industry will be recognised as a leading centre in Australasia and South East Asia for aerospace innovation in training; niche manufacturing; maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO); and unmanned aerial systems (UAS) applications for military and civil markets. Launch Completion 2018 2028 International border closures due to COVID-19 had a dramatic impact on the aerospace industry in Queensland, particularly the aviation sector. Despite this temporary industry downturn, the Queensland Government has continued to stimulate the aerospace industry through investment in infrastructure, technology and international promotion. I look forward to continuing to champion Queensland aerospace businesses, taking the industry to new heights. The Honourable Steven Miles MP DEPUTY PREMIER and MINISTER FOR STATE DEVELOPMENT Case study – Queensland Flight Test Range in Cloncurry The Queensland Government has invested $14.5 million to establish the foundation phase of a common-user flight test range with beyond visual line of sight capabilities at Cloncurry Airport. The Queensland Flight Test Range (QFTR) provides a critical missing element in the UAS ecosystem for industry and researchers to test and develop complex technologies. Operated by global defence technology company QinetiQ, the QFTR supports the Queensland Government’s goal of establishing the state as a UAS centre of excellence and a UAS leader in the Asia-Pacific region. Inaugural testing at QFTR was completed by Boeing Australia in late 2020. Director of Boeing Phantom Works International Emily Hughes said the company was proud to be the first user of the site and would take the opportunity to continue flight trials on key autonomous projects.

  • 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.

  • Airline and Aircraft Movement Growth “Airports...Are a Vital Part of Ensuring That Our Nation Is Able to Be Connected to the Rest of the World...”
    CHAPTER 5 AIRLINE AND AIRCRAFT MOVEMENT GROWTH “AIRPORTS...ARE A VITAL PART OF ENSURING THAT OUR NATION IS ABLE TO BE CONNECTED TO THE REST OF THE WORLD...” THE HON WARREN TRUSS, DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER 5 Airline and aircraft movement growth The volume of passenger and aircraft movements at Canberra Airport has declined since 2009/2010. In 2013/2014 Canberra Airport will handle approximately 2.833 million passengers across approximately 60,000 aircraft movements, its lowest recorded passenger volume since 2007/2008. The prospects for a future return to growth however are strong. Canberra Airport expects a restoration of volume growth in 2015/2016 and retains confidence in the future of the aviation market in Canberra, across Australia, and particularly the Asia Pacific region. Over the next 20 years passenger numbers at Canberra Airport are projected to reach 9 million passengers per annum with some 153,000 aircraft movements in 2033/2034. Canberra Airport, with its extensive infrastructure upgrades in recent years, is well positioned to meet forecast demand with only minor additional infrastructure and capitalise on growth opportunities in the regional, domestic and international aviation markets. 5.1 OVERVIEW Globally, the aviation industry has experienced enormous change over the past 15 years including deregulation of the airline sector, operational and structural changes in the post-September 11 2001 environment, oil price shocks, the collapse of airlines as a result of the global financial crisis (GFC), and the rise of new global players in the Middle East at the expense of international carriers from traditional markets. Likewise, Australia has seen enormous change in its aviation sector – the demise of Ansett, the emergence of Virgin Australia, Jetstar, and Tiger Airways, the subsequent repositioning of two out of three of these new entrant airlines and, particularly in the Canberra context, the collapse of regional airlines.
