WOW they pull that off! Amazing. The opportunity for a retail products/services sports precinct at Dingley...Kerching$

It’s interesting that local govt’s and sports clubs get to develop land in the green zone while private owners are SOL.

Some interesting implications.

1. My understanding of the various government funding we received (particularly from the council) meant that there would be a community use aspect to the KCC. Yet now the council is basically building community facilities around us.

2. I wonder if the council plan to leverage the fact they're building this around an elite sporting facility? By that I mean would they consider paying the club to administrate and maintain everything.

3. The amount of young elite athletes that will be performing on our doorstep opens the door to discovering a lot more Cat-B rookie potentials.

Exciting times.

Are.. are they trying to outdo us?

I can only see positives in this proposal.

Maybe someone else could point out the negatives, if there are any

This is going to sound like a dumb question.

With the close proximity to Moorabbin airport, can a private charter plane be used by the club for flying to interstate matches?

I am sure enough supporters would fly in a charter plane with them if given a chance to meet costs.

Anyone know of aviation laws and whether this is possible. And the cost of a charter flight

Part of a green wedge plan is for parklands.

This proposal is within green wedge guidelines

The runway length probably wouldn't accommodate a plane with the necessary capacity.

Is the council looking to create this on Hawthorn owned land?

Is the council looking to create this on Hawthorn owned land?

Yep. Hawks will most likely get a big kickback from it

That looks like the surrounding land which the Council would need to buy/own

No HFC land involved if you overlay the two site screenshots

Ah, so you're right.
My discussions with admin at the club said that the council were looking at developing on the hawks plans, I guess that meant developing around the club, but not directly with them?

Could someone tell me who the guy in the blue shirt in the middle of the photo is. I initially thought it was John Kennedy Jnr. but I am unsure.

Largest aircraft currently out of Moorabin airporn is King Island Airlines 18 seater Turbo Prop. Not sure you'll see any 767 or A380 flying out of there to Perth anytime I don't think the runways are long enough.
