Aviation Projects has provided assistance to the Wagner Group from the initial planning approval through to the construction and operation of Brisbane West Wellcamp Airport and continues to provide valuable ongoing advice and support.
Aviation Projects provided expert advice and guidance on a range of matters including the preparation of initial demand forecasts and scope of aircraft operations, concept layouts, concept airspace and aircraft flight paths and consideration of various other planning and operations matters. They have also provided advice on aeronautical infrastructure requirements and costs and operational advice on a variety of matters. Aviation Projects was able to assist with the introduction and ongoing operation of B747-800F aircraft by preparing a safety case that was approved by CASA.
Managing Director, Keith Tonkin, is thoroughly professional in all of his work and takes pride in providing a tailored solution that considers all aspects of a client’s strategic intent, including the short and long term implications of various recommended actions.
Aviation Projects has been integral to the success of our airport and continues to be a valued advisor to our business.
This development was approved by the Development Assessment Commission (DAC) in June 2006. LGWFPL recently requested a variation to the previous consent to construct the 59 turbine wind farm, in part to increase the height of the wind turbines from 124 m to 150 m above ground level.
During the course of the original application, the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) was consulted with respect to the proposal’s impact on aviation. CASA responded by stating that the structures, due to their height and location, would be considered hazardous objects and recommended that the turbines be designed to provide the appropriate lighting during hours of darkness and times of low visibility in accordance with Manual of Standards Part 139—Aerodromes (MOS 139).
LGWFPL engaged Aviation Projects to review potential aviation impacts and conduct a risk assessment in order to determine the requirement for aviation obstacle lighting.
The project has subsequently received all necessary government and local planning and development approvals and is moving towards the construction phase.
