Feasibility Analysis | Future Use of Whenuapai Airbase: Desirability and Feasibility - Background Paper | Background ... (4641 words)
Infratil estimates that approximately 140 hectares would be required for the operation of the airport and a further 75 hectares for commercial aeronautical activity.
Infratil has stated that it would be willing to underwrite the Council should the Airbase need to be purchased though they have also given the impression that they believe the cost would be fairly low given the lack of alternative uses for the site and potential remediation costs should Whenuapai not become an airport.
Moreover, given the willingness of Infratil to invest in at least testing the commercial feasibility of an airport at Whenuapai, initially through the RMA process and then through a period of joint use, we do not feel we are in a position to reject the assumptions of the business case.
