Central Coast Council has released a redacted version of the previously confidential Airport Review (Phase Two) Final Report, conducted by independent consultants, Morrison Low.

The Report reviewed a large body of information relating to:

• The project to establish a regional airport at Kiar Ridge
• The development of an Aviation Hub at Central Coast Airport
• Any activities, including works and development applications lodged, by the current Council or former Wyong Council relating to works at the airport site; and
• Processes and decision-making relating to the airport and Wyong Employment Zone.

At the 10 August Meeting, Council referred the Review to the Audit, Risk and Improvement Committee for their consideration at their next meeting in October and requested the Chief Executive Officer to consider the proactive release of a redacted version of the Review on Council’s website in line with the Government Information (Public Access) Act 2009.

At the same meeting, Council resolved to change the name of the Airport to the Warnervale Aircraft Landing Area (ALA).

A copy of the redacted Morrison Low Confidential Warnervale Airport Report can be found by searching ‘proactive release’ on Council’s website.
