This will replace the existing master plan from 2009 and fulfill JAH’s statutory obligations under the Airports Act 1996.
The 2014 plan will contain a few revisions over the existing planl which will include the refinement of the design of the fourth runway and associated taxiways, the provision of Precincts 6 and 6A as ‘mixed business’ and ‘aviation operations’ land use areas respectively, along with the provision of internal airport roads to service these precincts.
This will result in a 50% increase in land for aviation development, a revised alignment of the proposed East Link road and a minor road access into Precinct 5 of the airport via Spar tan Street.
Speaking about the plan, Truss said: "The Jandakot Airport site, south of Perth, currently supports 1,150 direct jobs and is responsible for $61m in export revenue for the Western Australian economy. The master plan I approved today will support 8,050 employees, across 300 businesses, equating to $420m in salaries over the 20-year life of the blueprint.
