Hey Gaz, I was told many years ago when I was doing the network for Brisbane airport that they control a huge chunk of the commercial airspace ........ is that true ?
Do you mean ATC? All of southern Australia is controlled from Melbourne and the northern half from Brisbane, roughly speaking.
Yes JM…Brisbane Center controls high level airspace all the way up to Indonesia and down to Sydney…Melbourne picks up south of Sydney…Steve would know better out west…
Same. A few minutes after takeoff out of Perth (or Adelaide) you’re transferred to Melbourne Centre. When going from south to north at some point you get transferred to Brisbane Centre.
So the Morrison Gov't has been ginning around with this shoit and Qld could have been well ahead of the game....as has been mentioned before: Purpose built quarantine facility Mr Miles has also urged the Prime Minister to reconsider his state's proposal for a purpose-built quarantine facility after it was rejected. "We could go ahead now, we could build this now, but instead the Prime Minister wants us to start from scratch with this other proposal (in Victoria)," he said. Mr Miles expressed his disappointment at the delayed response from the Federal Government, saying the proposal for the Wellcamp facility had been "on the table" for five months. "This proposal could have been built already, second of all, it could have been built faster," he said. Despite the set-back, Mr Miles said the Queensland government "welcomed" the decision from the Federal government in approving purpose-built facilities and said they would be "happy" to work on Mr Morrison's alternative proposal.
The guy is a ****wit. The Toowoomba facility is not near an airport that already takes commercial international passenger flights and is more than an hour and a half from a tertiary hospital properly equipped to deal with Covid cases.
Nah not Miles' but I certainly believe if given whatever the Fed Gov't guidelines were,Wagners would have been able to move 5-6 month's ago and as Miles said would just about be done..
