Proposed International Airport at Somersby

[marinermick]

I caught a plane from Belmont to Sydney once. They used to take off and land over the lake.

Domestic hub at Somersby makes a lot of sense when you think about people from the Hills/N Shore who would rather go up the freeway than M2/Tunnel/ S X Drive.

yeah, i did the sydney to belmont (pelican) a few times

awesome trip - a small plane that hugged the coastline the whole 30 minutes

If it goes somersby or williamtown we score a high speed rail link. Hopefully one of the 2 get up

Williamtown airport doesn't have a rail station near it. You think they would think about expanding transport to an existing domestic airport first before converting Somersby.

Or once you move the air force base williamtown needs significantly less investment than somersby. It also then makes it feesable to have the high speed rail link newcastle airport through to sydney. Though when you hear people talk from further away, they talk of a high speed link between syd and melb via canberra. But would be nice for them to do one from leb right through to brisbane. Cant see them doing that though. Unless Rudd is willing to spend the money that realistically he needs to spend, but politically he can not afford to
