Minister Albanese's Airport Master Plan Approval Challenged
On Friday 17th August 2012, Airport Chamber of Commerce Inc. (“AACCI”) commenced proceedings against the Federal Infrastructure and Transport Minister (Mr Anthony Albanese) in the Administrative Appeals Tribunal of the Federal Court (“AAT”) to have the recent decision of Minister Albanese in approving the 2011-2031 Master Plan for Archerfield Airport set aside.
It is alleged that Mr Albanese made the decision without due regard for the interests of airports users and the community as required by the Airports Act 1996, and that he and his department had dismissed the objections of many aviation stakeholders and the residents in the airport surrounding areas in approving the plan.
Furthermore that the Minister had exceeded the powers vested in the Commonwealth by the Air Navigation Act 1937[Qld] in so far as the degradation of standards and reduction in capability of Archerfield Airport consequent to the implementation of the new Master Plan will damage Air Commerce within the State of Queensland.
