Produced by: Moorabbin Airport Corporation October 2004 Moorabbin Airport Corporation (MAC) gives Notice under Sections 86 and 131 of The Airports Act 1996 that a Final Master Plan covering the development of Moorabbin Airport for a Twenty Year period was approved under Section 81 of the Act by the Federal Minister for Transport and Regional Services on 9th August 2004. An Environment Strategy was also approved under Section 126 of the Act by the Minister on 10th August 2004. Philip McConnell. FOREWORDFINAL MASTER PLAN 2004Moorabbin Airport Corporation (MAC) has purchased a long-term lease over Moorabbin Airport in Melbourne from the Australian Federal Government. MAC is 66.6% owned by Goodman Holdings Pty. Ltd. with Airport Investments holding 33.3%. MAC views the Airport as a strategic long-term investment in Melbourne. The purchase was completed in June 1998. It was a requirement of the purchase that the owners of privatised Airports prepare a Master Plan for the development of the Airport over the first 20 years of the lease. The first Master Plan was approved by the Minister of Transport and Regional Development in May 1999. This Final Master Plan (2004) is an update of our first Master Plan. The changes that have been made are minor and largely reflect events that were predicted in the first Master Plan and have since occurred, as well as reflecting a number of events that have taken place within the aviation industry since 1998. Goodman Holdings is a private investment company with interests in a number of public and private companies in Australia and New Zealand covering a diverse range of sectors including aviation, food, equities and property. Two of their senior executives serve on the board of MAC - Mr. Patrick Goodman, who is Managing Director of Goodman Holdings and Mr Gregory Goodman, who is CEO of Macquarie Goodman. The third director is Mr Brian Rule of Brico Pty Limited, a Victorian based property developer. MAC has entered into the ownership of the Airport with the strategy to create a high quality investment over the term of the lease. Mr Phil McConnell, an aviation executive with over 25 years international experience in aviation management is General Manager Aviation and has served in that capacity since 1998. Specialist property development skills are represented by Mr Charles Dipetta, General Manager Property and Development, who has over 20 years experience in asset management and development. Our Vision remains the same as in 1998; To develop an efficient and fully functioning Airport of Regional and State significance, enhanced by quality development, which will significantly contribute to and improve the economic and social base of south-eastern metropolitan Melbourne, particularly its local community. Our challenge is to accomplish this in the context of a highly urbanised location and with full regard to the environmental consideration of our neighbouring commercial and residential areas. We believe that Moorabbin Airport has an exciting future as a centre of aviation excellence, it will be maintained as Victoria’s premier location for pilot training, servicing of General Aviation aircraft and a base for recreational pilots. In addition it has the ability to offer more convenient and user-friendly transportation options to both business and leisure travellers. The development of both aviation and other commercial businesses will significantly contribute to the future employment and economic success of both south-east Melbourne and the State of Victoria. Patrick Goodman Chairman Moorabbin Airport Corporation Pty Limited. OUR CORPORATE VISIONMoorabbin Airport Corporation has a vision to develop a high quality aviation and commercial environment at Moorabbin Airport. MAC recognises the need to enhance the regional role of Moorabbin Airport, whilst respecting the needs of nearby industrial and residential land uses. MAC is committed to strengthening the current Airport operations by improving Airport management, attracting new aviation business and increasing revenues by selective development of land not required for aviation purposes. The company provides a management structure to attract quality commercial tenants and will implement a comprehensive land use framework to ensure the creation of a quality business environment, quality landscaping, prominent entry statements, broad boulevards and a management structure to ensure that these high standards are maintained. The vision for the Moorabbin Airport is to ensure an efficient and fully functioning Airport of regional and state significance which contributes to and improves the regional economic and social base of south-eastern metropolitan Melbourne. We intend to build the Airport into a centre of aviation excellence in Australia. The primary purpose of the Final Master Plan (2004) is to articulate a clear vision for the ultimate development of the Airport so that the potential of the Airport site is optimised to satisfy longterm aviation needs and provide for complimentary commercial developments. MAC is confident that the Final Master Plan (2004) provides a sound and strategically oriented framework, whilst retaining flexibility to respond to market demand for new uses that could potentially be appropriately located on the site, and to guide the ongoing development of the Airport in the 21st century.
