Richmond. Community says no more planes

A proposal to temporarily allow commercial flights into Richmond RAAF base is a Trojan horse that would lead to it permanently becoming Sydney's second international airport, Hawkesbury Mayor, Bart Bassett, said. The the community opposed the plan, he said. The Sydney Morning has reported the base could be opened up to commercial airline traffic as the Federal Government searches for a permanent airport site. A long-awaited aviation white paper will be released next month.
