Here's another response from Senator Abetz... Dear Paul, Further to my email to you about the Bruny Island Airstrip, I can let you know that on further enquiry, the Bruny Island Airstrip was in fact gifted to Council by a private landowner. Accordingly, the matters that I raise do not apply other than the Bruny Island Airstrip would nevertheless be able to qualify for funds under the Remote Airports Upgrade Program. https://infrastructure.gov.au/aviation/regional/raug.aspx I trust this helps. Yours sincerely, Eric Abetz Liberal Senator for Tasmania http://abetz.com.au
