Changes to Sydney Basin Air Space & something else

Just looking at that story again - "English language proficiency"

 

Wonder if this means CASA AELP. Cost me $150 six months ago for mine for RPL.

20 minute conversation to tell me I can speak my native language. No way around it in the CASA world.

Wonder what this means for RAAus ?

Skippy did they mention MEDICAL requirements at the meeting?

Yes. There seemed to be a bit confusion, so I tuned out. Sorry!😈

There is an article in today’s SMH…..

Revealed: The secret plan to turn this Sydney airport into housing, extend metro

To summarise, Aware Super (YSBK airport leaseholder) has floated an idea to the NSW state govt to convert the Bankstown airport to housing for 30,000 homes and extend the metro line to support it.  It is nothing more than a concept with an artists impression at this stage, and drew lots of “no comments” from related parties and references to existing planning legislation.

 

Aware Super’s only comment was “ we continuously seek opportunities to unlock value across our portfolios for the benefit of members”

 

Stay tuned.
