2038 (I know it says "at least" in the report) is less than 18 years away, which in terms of infrastructure construction in this country, is short amount of time.
You will note that this is a press release from Jennifer O’Connell, a Liberal MP. For reasons best know only to Her she has misquoted the KPMG report. the Max capacity date used in the report under a moderate growth forecast is 2036. 2038 is never mentioned but it does sync with the 10 year land leases given to a chosen few in 2018. The MP also tweeted out the details of that lease in 2018.So does this mean @MarkBrooks will give it a rest and maybe loo at other options?

There has already been one completely privately funded proposal, an industrial airport back in 2011. I still have the business case, it was a solid 8% return. at the time transport decided a bigger airport was the way forward. All we need is an RFP, and we get to findout.The likelihood of this airport being funded entirely by private investment is about the same as Mexico paying for Trump's border wall...
