As he says it is all about money, nothing else. Coffs Coast Airport was recently sold with a similar 50 year lease & 49 year option to renew. The cross runway was closed for some time on the pretext that there was construction work going on near the threshold of 10 for an "Enterprise Park". Now they have closed the GA taxiways and decomissioned the lighting. It is pretty obvious what is going on.
