Looks like there a plan to extend the Bankstown metro line to Bankstown Airport, and then redevelop the land for housing.

The idea is that flights to/from Bankstown would then be shifted to Western Sydney Airport.

@NewtonMark you're far more across plane stuff I am, I'm very keen to hear your thoughts?

@aj @NewtonMark "What do you know about lead?"

@aj @NewtonMark I was all for that until the bit about redeveloping the land the Bankstown Airport currently takes up.

Curious the logistics and costs for amateur pilots & smaller companies. I can only fathom it being all kinds of terrible for them, with Western Syd being international & freight. Them mixing it up with that traffic.
