COUNCIL’S INDEPENDENT AIRPORT AUDIT UNSEALED

A confidential audit of Central Coast Council’s decisions surrounding Warnervale Airport, has been revealed.

A redacted report by independent consultants, Morrison Low – analysed business papers and around 50 submissions regarding a regional airport at Kiar Ridge, an aviation hub, and other economic moves.

It found, council and its staff acted within their legal requirements.

However, there was not enough information for a robust review of why runway works in 2015 – which breached the Warnervale Airport Restrictions Act – were deemed “urgent”.

Council was approached for comment.
