I thank the member for some notice
of this question.
(1) The
implications for aircraft approaches to Langley Park as a result of the Perth
Waterfront project are the same as those presented by the previous government
under its master plan; that is, approaches from the west will be limited due to
the introduction of the new city buildings.
(2) Building
heights will be established through the development design guidelines currently
being developed by the Metropolitan Redevelopment Authority.
(3) Arrangements
for future flying events based at Langley Park will be considered and approved
in the context of the new Perth Waterfront development.
