FYI - I am advised that ICAO require a NOTAM to be issued if Avgas is not advised. However, CASA have decided not to follow this ICAO requirement.
Apparently, in the glorious earlier days of Australian Aviation, when Avgas was available everywhere, airfields would issue NOTAMS advising that fuel was not available at a competing airstrip to encourage aviators to visit them....

Indeed. As rutan observed and I speculated earlier in the thread, the provision of a service like this is an aberration. It is of assistance only to nobodies and is therefore pointless.I’ve informed friends from other countries of this extraordinary development. Their view of Australia as a third world joke is confirmed rather than changed as a consequence of the announcement that there is a toilet available at Parafield. But it’s great that it’s been announced.
Mustafagander: Call the number in ERSA for YLEC, now, and ask whether fuel is available, now.

After all airports are no longer for aircraft are they?
They are going to need to submit a notam soon to tell pilots to bring a second credit card and or their firstborn when the price of avgas goes up shortly.
