Melbourne Airport expansion threatens future of Essendon Football Club’s​

Bombers fans chipped in $10m as part of The Hanger’s multimillion-dollar facelift in 2021 — but all that work could soon be undone.

It comes as airport officials move forward with the early stages of its Approved 2022 Master Plan to develop a TopGolf, an entertainment space and driving range, inside Elite Park

I reckon * should stay there even if the Driving Range came to fruition. Can you imagine the dollars that the federal government would rake in if they planned it so that supprters of 17 other clubs could take to the driving range and take pot shots at the players (& maybe even the coach) while they were training. Hell, give it a month or 2 and you'd even have * supporters driving their 1 Wood at the coach.

Now that's what I'd call an "entertainment space"!

 

[Wild Bill]

Lol - ess begged for 10 mill - the idiots forked out their own cash - and now it’s getting bull dozed!!!!

That is gold - a fool and their money is soon departed….

Melbourne Airport expansion threatens future of Essendon Football Club’s​

Essendon Football Club’s high-performance training facility may be at-risk of redevelopment, with Melbourne Airport officials refusing to say if long-term expansions will impact the club.
Bombers HQ – located on federally-owned land within the airport’s Elite Park precinct – houses two football fields sized to match the MCG and Marvel Stadium, indoor training facilities and administrative services.

But sources have told the Herald Sun confidential discussions between club officials and airport planners suggested some infrastructure on the Don’s $27 million site, dubbed ‘The Hangar,’ may be impacted by two new runways and wider developments in the precinct.

Future plans for Melbourne Airport's two new proposed runways. Picture: supplied

Such impacts would mean a possible rework of the 10,000sq m site, which was upgraded in 2021 at a cost of $21.5 million — it’s supporter base chipped in $10 million.
The Bombers famously relocated to its new base along Melrose Dr in 2013 from its spiritual home of nearly 100 years at Windy Hill.
It comes as airport officials move forward with the early stages of its Approved 2022 Master Plan to develop a TopGolf, an entertainment space and driving range, inside Elite Park

It can be revealed a permit was submitted to The Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water earlier this month for the removal of protected grassland.
Elite Park’s already home to UrbnSurf, famed eatery Three Blue Ducks, Hanrob Pet Hotel, Qantas Joey Club Childcare Centre, and the Dons’ multimillion-dollar headquarters.
But Melbourne Airport officials refused to share any further insight detailing their long-term plans and potential impacts on Bombers HQ and the wider Elite Park precinct.

Officials also refused to comment on the matter when presented with an artist impression from its Master Plan which depicted parts of a markedly improved Elite Park.

A statement accompanying the illustration vaguely outlined possible future plans.
“It is anticipated that Elite Park will evolve over time, initially (over the next five years) with leisure and customer experience facilities (that build off the existing facilities and tenants.)

“And ultimately as a mixed-use environment with the addition of higher value, higher-density developments to support existing facilities.”
Roads, water, sewerage and electrical infrastructure would also be developed, while the report briefly mentioned plans for Elite Park over the next 10 years.
“The airport has planned the site for high-value commercial developments focused on sporting, leisure and customer experiences,” the report continued.
“There would be in addition to more traditional urban-commercial developments such as low-density offices, education, and ancillary retail and showrooms.”

A spokesman for the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications and The arts confirmed earlier consultations had taken place, but would not be drawn on the specifics.”
“Melbourne Airport is currently considering whether the Elite Park Precinct development or proposed Top Golf venue will require a Major Development Plan to be submitted for Minister King’s consideration under the Airports Act 1996.”

“The Government also has clear expectations that leased federal airports, including Melbourne Airport, undertake regular and ongoing consultation with airport users, state and territory governments, local authorities and the community to improve information sharing and strengthen planning and development outcomes,” a spokesman said.

“While consultation occurred during the development of the 2022 Melbourne Airport Master Plan, which includes the future development of the Elite Park Precinct, the Government expects Melbourne Airport to continue engaging on planning matters such as this – as this engagement is fundamental to the successful long-term development of the airport.”
Five games are scheduled for this year’s VFL premiership season at The Hangar while six VFLW matches were also slated to take place.

When approached for comment, a Dons spokesman said the club was on a “long-term lease.”

Time to call the big guns

Time to call the big guns

It's the vibe, it's Mabo - pretty much the * defence.

 

[Shermanator]

Time to call the big guns

[DesertRoo]

Only if they had a conveyancer, they could’ve pointed out a ****ing big airport next to their training grounds that has plans for future expansion

If there's honesty in usernames, it would probably be Total F***wit.

No idea works as well.

Bombers in limbo over HQ future​

Bombers fans chipped in $10m as part of The Hanger’s multimillion-dollar facelift in 2021 — but all that work could soon be undone.

I love that their tough-guy poseur "Hanger" gets dismissively tossed aside by Actual Aeroplanes. It's like what happened in Windy Hill by an Actual Sports Club and in finals by Actual Footballers.

 

[Wild Bill]

Lol - they think their lease - signed until 2050 - will keep them safe!! Really not the brightest bulbs in the tanning bed.

ha ha. This is what he said last year:

Jordan Lewis: They play an exciting brand of football. They play an honest brand, so the young kids they drafted in, especially the big three who came through, they all buy in. You can tell Rutten being a defender will be heavy on defence but it doesn’t disallow them to be offensive and a threat. The midfield, in particular, their spread and their pop from a contest was probably nearly better than anyone in the competition except for Melbourne.

The media want to keep all StandbyHirders interested for as long as possible cause once the season starts they know they'll be shit. Again.

 

[ferball]

If they don't win a final this year it'll be something like 7250 days till they are on paper (and not very much) chance again.

 

[shinboner magic]

Absolute spin doctor lol

Let’s hope he still doesn’t know how to hold onto a lead - especially against us

 

[joegreen]

How long did University go not winning a final before they got disbanded?

Surely the embarrassment alone would be enough to call it quits.

Is the rumour that Lance Uppercut has sent a DM to chief requesting that our Bye Bye Brad thread be migrated directly onto the bommers board actually true? It's been doing the rounds since about the 10 minute mark of the first quarter of today's match.
