Its understandable that you hold that point of view, however that
information is both inaccurate and dated.

Not sure the exact affect this will be having on Gawler, but I dont think
they are too happy about it.

Actually, it looks as if there's going to be ashphalt right through the middle
of the club-house, not to mention the threshold of the cross-strip.
Surely there are heritage issues with Gawler airstrip that should be
considered. It is after all, a significant part of our history!

Yes, indeed.
As the owner of a private hangar located exactly where the road will go,
I am very interested in how it will all pan out.
The current information is that the airfield will remain. Most likely
with one runway realigned slightly and the other one extended to make up
for the loss caused

couple of other affected people from the area).
The road works trim the ends of both of Gawlers runways. It
shortens each strip to roughly a bit less than 1100m each
(supposedly). This makes the strip still serviceable, but
makes it more in
Couldn't help myself! The irony was too much.

I suspect the only ammunition the club (and the soaring movement) have are the
heritage issues. It may-be that those can be brought to bear so that the
Highway misses the strip altogether.
The prospect of towing gliders over a dual carriageway at low altitude isn't
one that rings the safety bell
Regardless of how heritage weighs up against economics of the project,
reduced safety is still a compelling argument.
If the current planning option makes it more marginal for options that
is something that would be worth raising (as are heritage values).

Not really useful t
It really depends on what phase they are at with their planning and what
information they have been provided with when doing their options
analysis.
If there are three options being considered and this option is least
favourable to the gliding club then it would be worth presenting all
arguments
At ASC as it is now, if you are taking off from RWY 05, you are towing over the
Gawler bypass (which is going over a railway as a bridge too), with not many
options, one being landing on the dual carriage way. Normally RWY 05 is in use
with hot NE winds (high density altitude days), hence climb

Hi all
The proposed road will indeed impact heavily on the operations at Gawler.
Transport SA held a meeting at the club 2 weeks ago to inform us of their
proposal and to outline how we will be compensated. The summary is that we
will lose 20-30% of our runway lengths and the road will cut off

Luxury! That's still about 30% longer than our strip at Camden :)
