A community group fighting to have flight paths remodelled above Sunshine Coast Airport has called for the former runway to be reopened.
Flight Path Forum, which had primarily focused on routes flown by aircraft, this week called for consideration to be given to reopening the old runway 18/36 which was decommissioned as part of the Sunshine Coast Airport Expansion Project to deliver a new, $334 million extended runway catering to Code E aircraft.
Flight Path Forum spokeswoman Marian Kroon said local aviation operators had expressed safety and design concerns about the new runway since June, 2020 and problems had been exacerbated during the recent Easter period with added traffic and poor weather.
She said the backyards of some homes along the beachfront on Lorikeet Dr in south Peregian were also in the low risk category. The report underlines the high cost of replacing existing public infrastructure such as the picnic area, skate park and parking areas should they be damaged as a result of coastal erosion, Ms Kroon said. Community feedback indicates that non-intrusive solutions, such as dune rehabilitation and mitigation, is the preferred course of action. Ms Kroon said rock sea walls were very much a last resort . We have been working for many years to protect and strengthen our dunes and the vegetation that helps them remain intact, she said
