Badgerys Creek. Call for lifting of notice

John Harding, chairman, of the Silverdale-Warragamba Action Group has called on the Federal Government to lift the “airport designation” from the Commonwealth land at and around Badgerys Creek. He said airport affectation notices and requirements still bind planning certificates constraining property developments around the site. “Anyone who wants to develop in the area needs to pay for expensive insulation and double-glazed windows because it’s under a proposed flight path,” Mr Harding said in the Penrith Press..The government formally ruled out the construction of an airport at Badgerys Creek late last year. The 1700-hectare proposed site remains vacant.
