Canberra International Airport - Developing slowly

What a breakthrough! I don’t know how we’ve been getting by for so long without this then Thumper 🙂

WTF is an intuitive access carpark. One that can tell what a car is as opposed to a motorcycle or bus?

How unkind!

While hanging around the Terminal I had ample opportunity to read the remarkable Canberra International Airport [CIA] publication that explains how the people of the CIA are gifting the people of the ACT with a world class airport facility. As I recall it will involve intuitive access to car parks and other facilities and will be cutting edge in every detail.

Realistically, I think it still compares favourably to Northbourne Avenue [with all the dilapidated flats] as a Gateway to the Capital.

Like I said in a post last week – if we were living in several other countries Mr Snow would have been “corrected” a long time ago.

No one’s noticed the duck pond built at the Pialligo intersection yet? It’s a long and narrow pond alongside the road, as if it’s supposed to catch bad drivers and drown them. I’ve been too busy driving to take a photo of it and steal the duck souls, it’s at a one lane divides into two point.

Developing slowly

that’s cos people are taking pictures, stealing the souls of the workers.

Actually it isn’t really under the control of the Commonwealth either, except of course they created the loophole that allowed all this to happen.

I think that the Commonwealth Government specifically approved the construction of BBP and Brand Depot. I hope that the ministers who signed off on those decisions have enjoyed their time stuck in traffic jams.

toriness, Tempestas is daed right. ACTPLA is not at fault this time, it is all unedr the control of the Commonwealth. They obviously give even less of a sh!t about Canberra planning and good outcomes for residents than what ACTPLA and NCA do.

Actually it isn’t really under the control of the Commonwealth either, except of course they created the loophole that allowed all this to happen. Put simple when the airports were privatised a loophole was created that meant they didn’t have to seek local planning authority to expand. The intent was so genuine airport development didn’t get caught up for years in pety local governments. But the same laws have allowed more or less anything to be built, the result can be seen at Canberra airport.

At least the new fed government are trying to make them more accountable and help pay for some of the burden they place on local infrastructure, such as roads and public transport.

That’s “dead right” of course.
