Hi all, There was a proposal of an air bnb and hangar and is next to a house on Grand Designs TV Show however the runway was never really specced for the type of aircraft that would want to use the runway. So it really is for very small or ultralights only on a 540m and 47m wide with prevailing winds, uneven surface, marine birdlife and ~3% gradient. Warin, any air evacs of the 100 are via HEMS helicopter or boat. Tyabb airport is just north of the Island and so there is probably not a lot of interest in an airfield for the 100 or so residents. I don't know if this proposal got up or as Andrew stated, it had stalled post incident or property sale.
Finally, there is a barge service that runs from Corinella to nearby properties with a pier so I would personally take the extra hour and arrive safely without meeting a bin chicken or other wildlife close up at the wrong time. I'm inclined to bin chicken it Ewen On Mon, 29 Apr 2024 at 18:51, Phil Wyatt via Talk-au < talk-au@openstreetmap.org> wrote: > May have been an eager mapper after this incident but certainly no sign of > a formal or informal strip there > > > > > https://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/plane-flips-after-landing-gear-malfunctions-on-victorias-french-island/video/f61a249832fb86f3fad6be0aa92c3ce6 > > > > > > *From:* Andrew Welch via Talk-au <talk-au@openstreetmap.org> > *Sent:* Monday, April 29, 2024 6:32 PM > *To:* talk-au@openstreetmap.org > *Subject:* Re: [talk-au] farm airstrips > > > > Considering there's also a "hanger" there that doesn't seem to be visible > on any aerial imagery I just checked, I'm in favour of deleting it.
