I was not at the meeting where it was discussed but I was told CASA was
against KRY having their own frequency so it did not happen.

There is no requirement that all CTAFs be on 126.7 . Many are not.
If your gliding site has a problem due to frequency congestion on
126.7 apply for a different frequency. Just don't make it a gliding
frequency.

Kingaroy getting their own CTAF and gave them 126.7 instead of
another one! They are still fighting to get one instead of 126.7.
If you have a look at the relevant public documents you will find at
http://www.casa.gov.au/manuals/regulate/acm/061a0201.pdf that the
allocation of frequencies is not something that CASA Office of
Airspace Regulation does. It determines the need for a particular
class of airspace,but then the frequency allocation is an airspace
management function that still belongs to Airservices. There are a
number of major gliding sites that DO have the gliding frequency as
the CTAF - not a problem where the main users are gliders.
