Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) CASA administer civil aviation safety and were contacted by Council during the processing of the Development Application. CASA does not object to the application, pending attached conditions that may be summarised as follows: a) Temporary displacement of the threshold, RWY 22 threshold displacement of approximately 640m. Aerodrome remains open with restricted operations; b) Preparation of a Traffic Management Plan for the proposed drag racing event; c) Consult well in advance with Air Ambulance (RFDS) and GA operators, and alert Port Macquarie and Taree operators; d) Survey to identify any additional obstacles (refer to Manual of Standards Part 139 paragraph 8.3.9.2); e) Obscure existing threshold and runway designation number markings (refer to Manual of Standards Part 139 Paragraph 8.3.9.6 for threshold displacement by more than 450m); f) Ensure that the witches hats (“totals finish” on the plans) are placed at the correct distance to protect RWY 04 Take-off surface and 22 Approach Surface of any intrusions (please refer to note A 1 on the plan which limits objects to 4m); g) Aerodrome reporting officer or a work safety officer must be present at all times during the event; h) NOTAM (Notice to Airmen) must be issued not less than 48 hours before the event; i) Signal area and unserviceability markings are to be in place as per plan; and j) Serviceability inspection is required after the event (See Condition 9(a)(i)). Australian National Drag Racing Association (ANDRA) ANDRA must approve and licence any proposed drag racing event in Australia and have standards that must be met prior to any vehicle competing in a drag racing event. There will be ANDRA certified officials present during the event who will be responsible for the certification of all vehicles prior to racing. All drivers must have an ANDRA Divisional Licence to be eligible to race. Any vehicle that does not meet ANDRA requirements will not be permitted to race. Under ANDRA‟s Substance Abuse Policy random drug and alcohol testing can be conducted on drivers, crew members, contractors, employees and volunteers. Any such person found to be under the influence will be excluded from the completion, and may be fined or banned for up to three (3) years. In addition, ANDRA licensed events are covered by ANDRA public liability insurance of $50,000,000 (See Condition 9(a)(ii)).

Under the Motor Vehicle Sports (Public Safety) Act 1985 all motorsports events must be approved by the NSW Office of Communities. Prior to the running of the proposed drag racing event such an approval must be obtained by the event organiser (See Advice (a)). Examples of Drag Racing Events at Other Airports: There are a number of examples of other Councils which run drag racing events on their local airport runways, including: - Alice Springs Town Council – Alice Springs Airport - Ballarat City Council – Ballarat Airport - East Gippsland Shire Council – Bairnsdale Airport - District Council of Loxton Waikerie – Waikerie Airport - East Gippsland Shire Council – Bairnsdale Aerodrome - Glen Innes Severn Council – Glen Innes Airport - Gunnedah Shire Council – Gunnedah Airport - Leeton Shire Council – Leeton Airport - Richmond Valley Council – Casino Airport Research has been conducted and a number of these Councils have been contacted, the results of which vary. For example, drag racing events have been held at Gunnedah, Ballarat, Leeton and Alice Springs with no serious runway or infrastructure damage. However, drag racing has been conducted at Casino Airport during which the runway has been damaged. It is noted that the Casino event included powerful vehicles such as purpose built dragsters which will not be permitted at the proposed Kempsey event. Conclusion: The evidence suggests that lower powered cars will not cause significant damage to the airport runway pavement, whereas significant damage can occur if the vehicles are too powerful for the runway pavement. It is considered that permitting “road legal” cars only will minimise the risk of damage. As a contingency (and to cover misuse of the runway by the operator/competitor) a bond of $250,000 will be required to repair any unexpected damage with a pre and post dilapidation report required in recommended conditions of consent (See Conditions 10 & 11) Public Notification The application was advertised in accordance with Council Public Notification Policy on two separate occasions, between 18 January 2011 and 31 January 2011 and again on the 10 January 2012 to 23 January 2012 following amendments to the original proposal. A total of ninety-seven (97) submissions were received of which twenty-seven (27) were in support and seventy (70) were objections, including three (3) confidential objections. (Appendix F - Page SE8, part 2 - Page SE38, part 3 - Page SE126) Support: The letters of support raised the following points: 1 It will not be noisy as most vehicles are street-legal, not as loud as aeroplanes. 2 Positive economic impact in the area.
