Kangaroo Island Airport Upgrade Business Case

Other facilities
Other airside facility works would include:
• Navigational aids and lighting;
• Upgrade of re-fuelling facilities; and
• Detailed design fees.
The introduction of RPT flights from Melbourne and Sydney would likely see a
requirement for refuelling facilities. Consequently, the capital cost of establishing a fuel
storage and dispensing facility have been included in the costing estimates.
6.3 Costing methodology for the options considered
Tonkin Consulting has prepared a report on the engineering investigations that have
been undertaken into the infrastructure requirements and associated estimated capital
costs to upgrade Kangaroo Island Airport based on their understanding of the current
facilities and the condition of those facilities.
The methodology adopted for future development options included:
• undertaking preliminary geometric design work and indicative pavement design for
the required airside extensions;
• determining terminal building spatial requirements at the element level; and
• deriving estimates of capital costs that would deliver the outcomes required for
each option.
A site investigation was undertaken by Tonkin Consulting on 8 th October, 2012 to
assess the underlying structures and civil engineering qualities which would form the
basis of what additional costs were necessary to achieve the required outcomes.
Details of the site and engineering investigation and associated capital costs to an
upgrade are attached in Appendix B.
