About 10 years I looked at buying a block of land in the new housing estate just to the west of the airport. In the sales office they had a wall size photo of the future estate and the surrounding area, however the airport was missing from the photo, when I asked why the airport was not shown I was told the airport would be gone in 2 years. The salesmen was saying the same to anyone who asked about the airport or the aircraft flying overhead.
Now 10 years later the estate is just about finished and the airport is staying, wonder if the house price will drop in the estate and if the home owners will try to take some action.

"One of the people who fought hardest to retain the airport was the Liberal state member".
You know mate, when you're in opposition, Black is White. It all comes down to the almighty $$. The land Caloundra airport is on is worth a bloody fortune....$5/600k per 400sqm block, rated accordingly.....Council would never make that money out of the airport.
Don't get me wrong mate, i am a staunch supporter of the airport, i stand alongside Grant Kenny, but i tried to submit a DA to the old Council a few yrs back and they didn't hesitate to knock me back saying it is proposed for residential developement.
